Regarding Global Warming

In my previous article about myself and this Blog, I briefly stated the following:

"I am here to tell the Environmentalists to take their version Global Warming and shove it! Yes, Global Warming is a Fact, but its a Natural Cycle... And we're coming up on the peak of the next cycle! We are wasting our Time and Money on trying to reduce Man's Carbon Footprint when it will do nothing for Mankind's survival through the Heat until the Ice Age that will follow. Global Warming as its defined by the Left is an Environmentalist Scare Tactic to acheive their Agenda, for better or worse. I agree that Cleaning up the Environment and alternative clean fuels is a good thing, but I'm a Conservationist... Not a Radical Environmentalist. We just don't know how hot it will get before the down swing, and we need to have provisions in place for both extremes."

Now, I'm back to ellaborate.

Yes, Global Warming is a Fact of Nature; however, so is Global Cooling. Both sides are right, but they only spin it to suit themselves and their agenda. Neither side will paint a complete picture that makes sense because they are either focused on their own agenda or not well informed. Its happened before repeatedly, and the Geological record proves it. In the 4.5 BILLION years of Earth's existance, Mankind's impact is a mear blink of an eye. Since the last great Tectonic Land shift that brought us the familiar Continental Geography, the Geological Record shows a period of about 100 Thousand Years between Global Warming and Mass Ice Age cycles. Coincidentally, the Ice Age Cycle immediately follows the Global Warming peak. Just look at most 5th Grade Science Books to find a paragraph on the "Natural Cycle" followed by two or more pages on "Manmade Global Warming" refuted pages before in a paragraph.

They point to the disappearing Glaciers as evidence of Mankind's influence, but they cannot give you evidence of Mankind's impact IF we did not become Industrialized. I see a bigger picture that shows Global Warming as a matter of coincidence and timing that Industrialization occurred on the heals of a waning Medieval Mini-Ice Age. In fact, the global temperature was rising long before industrialization. It was rising since the dawn of man with periods of mini-Ice Ages inbetween huge peaks and deep freezes.

We know from the Geological Record about how cold the main and mini Ice Ages were from the physical specimans extracted like Mammoth's and Pre-Historic Man; however, what the Geological Record does not show is how HOT the Cycle's peak is going to get. We can only tell that MOST of the Planet was a lush, tropical Rain Forest because of Fossil records showing Tropical Plants and Animal life far into the more Temporate Northern Latitudes of today. So I would hazzard a guess that it could get as least as hot and humid as the Amazon Jungle.

It is believed that the Oxygen Rich atmosphere of ages past lead to the enormous size of previous inhabitants - Dinosaurs. Only through Earth's natural Modulation of the environment have we come to this balance that has allowed mankind to evolve and flourish as Volcanism has slowed allowing Oxygen levels to rise once again. I would even theorize that this has contributed to the increased average size of the Human race in both Height and Girth over them past millenia. Its not just better food and medicine, its more abundant food available and an Oxygen rich atmosphere. The truth is, no one really knows all these variables, but they can easily home in on a set of them and use them to meet their own agenda.

Let's be realistic. Mankind has survived one such cycle, and we will again. We are a very adaptive specimen of Biology, and it will be Survival of the Fittest. There will be losses of life not fit to cope or adapt to the naturally changing climate. Possibly Mankind again will take another evolutionary leap, and maybe the present rise in Tumours, Cancers, and other "Genetically Predisposed" Diseases are signs that Mankind is continuing to evolve. This may not be our final evolutionary state. Simple case in point, the "Birth Defect" of being born with Six Fingers/Toes or with Webbed Fingers/Toes. Are these recessive genes some ancient evolutionary throw back, or have they been a subtle sign of Mankind's evolution to come? Know one knows, but since its outside the Norm its medically perceived as an abnormality and treated as a Disease.

I think we are wasting our time and money on trying to prevent or reverse what is a Naturally occurring cycle based on Fear... Fear of what is to come and not facing facts that we must prepare ourselves for what will come regardless of our actions. We really should be putting our resources into preparing for the Survival of Mankind through the coming natural Climate Temperature Peak and the subsequent Climate Temperature Low. We need to think outside the box in order to do so, but one good thing is that we have time since it will not happen overnight without the introduction of a huge variable.

That variable could come in the form of an Astronomical or Geological Event such as Meteor Impact or Increased Volcanism from the Earth's core. As we are learning from the Dinosaur Extinction of 65 Million years ago, it was quite possibly both events simultaneously that brought about their Extinction.

So really, do we prepare for Earth's survival or just Mankind's. I say we need to prepare both, but Mankind's Survival should not be contingent on Earth's. We should be looking to leave the shores of this planet to seek out and colonize others. As Carl Sagan and Arthur C Clark have implied, Man's future is among the Stars. And, as George Carlin said "The planet'll shake us off like a bad case of fleas." Well, we need to be prepared to be shaken off so we have someplace to go.

The Biblical "Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse" are not physical beings to bring about the end of Mankind, they are metaphors for what will. They are literally War, Famine, Pestilance, and Death... An Extinction Level Event and/or the Natural Cycle of the Earth will facilitate these events, and will be driven by Mankind's inherant need to go to War for its survival and control of resources. And as the Climate continues to change naturally for the worse, the other three will follow in short order. Even if we aren't hit with a rock from space or some stellar blast, it will still happen through the Natural Cycle and the Population of the Earth will be deminished to Pre-Historic levels just as the Bible implies, if we survive at all. My greatest Fear is that even if Mankind could survive the upheaval, that someone with a Scortched Earth Policy will Nuke the planet to oblivion in the process, and that's why WMD's need to be dismantled Globally.

Yes, we should continue researching and implementing "Greener" policies, but they need to be cost-effective and reliable. Not just a "Feel Good" technologies like Hybrid vehicles which I think are a joke. Sure they run Greener, but the manufacturing and assembly process creates more of a "Carbon Footprint" than the lifecyle of many Petroleum run SUV's. They are also expensive and not readily affordable to the average consumer; therefore, they are more of a Status Symbol for the more afluent. One of the things I think we need to do is overhaul the Power Infrastructure with more Efficient Power Facilities, and Appliances & Utilities that run on less power so we need fewer Power Plants. Case in point, homes run on 110/220V in the US, yet we have numerous home appliances made that can run on a 12V supply for use in Automobiles and RV's. Why aren't we adapting these more energy efficient technologies for integration into the Home?

The Natural Cycle is inevitable, unstoppable, and not the fault of Mankind. Stop talking down to the people and guilt tripping them like children into thinking WE are at fault. We aren't! What is the fault of Mankind is our inability to come together and peacefully take the necessary steps to enable us to survive on our own terms. Its easy to point fingers, its difficult to step up to the plate and admit when your wrong before its too late when the facts are staring you right in the face.

We should instead set the record straight by not calling it "Global Warming", we should call it "Climate Shift". The Climate is approaching a natural peak in temperature that will bring about the natural shift in global climate with the high potential for Ice Age conditions in the higher Latitudes. We don't know how hot it will get or how quickly this shift will occur, but it will not be overnight like some doom-n-gloom movies like "The Day After Tomorrow" portray, but the shift will not be gradual from a Geological point of view as the record already shows.

Now they want to give Al Gore the Nobel Peace Prize based on his Global Warming Campaign. Its a Joke! All he would be doing is taking credit for other people's work in a wrong interpretation that meets an Environmentalist Agenda through Flase Awareness. Al Gore, Nobel Lauriet Candidate, who won't even Debate Experts in Climatology and Geology who have a strong counter arguement. God forbid that he may have to admit that he is wrong. He is not a worthy contender.

Look at the bigger picture instead of the Narrow-Minded Perspective of an Ultra Liberal Environmentalist talking heads. Get the facts of nature, and think for yourself.
