Now here is a meaty subject. I realize that there is a lot of passion that goes into the debate of this subject. I mean, have your heard Al Gore give one of his $100,000 speeches when he's not relaxing in a mansion that uses more electricity than my entire neighborhood? That is serious passion. But I mean, it's cool, because he buys the rights to use all that energy. Nevermind that he buys it from his own company, thus increasing demand and generating higher profits for himself.
I digress. I just can't help but to praise Al. Ok, let's get serious here. You can believe whatever you want. You can believe that we are destroying our planet and that it is helpless to defend itself. That is fine. Just don't try to tell me that you belief is rooted in fact. It's not. Here is the hard truth: man-made global climate change is about as scientifically proven as aliens and bigfoot. I mean, there are believers, sightings, even some evidence that both aliens and bigfoot exist. Have you seen that video from the 60s? Yeah, tell me that isn't true.
Fortunately, we don't spend tax money on "The Bigfoot Preservation Acts" or "The Department of Extraterrestrial Affairs", and yet our congressmen want to take heap loads of our hard earned money to supposedly prevent an unproven man-made global climate change. Why aren't more people outraged? I mean you want to donate your own money to a private fund somewhere, go for it! Save the world! Just don't expect me to go along.
But you've heard so much "proof" that global climate change is real, right? The debate is supposed to be long over, a done deal. And once the world was flat too... Look, anyone that tells you that they can accurately create a computer model the mimics the infinitely complex climate system of our planet, punch them in the face. It's just not possible. The models are always changing. Every week they come up with different predictions and conclusions. There just isn't anyway for us to accurately predict these things.
To me, the funniest thing is the idea that any amount of tax money could stop/prevent billions of years of natural occurring cycles in our earth's climate. Are you kidding me? The bottom line is that any congressman or government that supports global climate change initiatives is probably only interested in one thing: power. Since the dawn of time power and influence have been gained quickest when fear creates a need for people to depend on one person or one group of people in order to survive. Politicians know this, they aren't completely stupid. So what's the point? Don't be afraid, don't buy into the hype, and don't be willing to give up your money and liberty for global warming, aliens, or bigfoot.

This is a subject that has always puzzled me. The U.S. does an amazing job at keeping pollution in check. The U.S. is generally not the problem. If you want problems, go check out China and India. I'm not saying that those places are full of filthy people, but they don't have the type of regulations we do here and have and will pollute much more than we will here.
I mean, this is GLOBAL climate change. Why aren't the crazy activists going after the countries that are far worse than here?
Also, as a computer scientist, computers can't model jack crap. The whole idea of a computer model of the world is laughable. First, you'd have to break down every aspect of the universe into a number, and then discover the equations and conditions used to create conclusions from your numbers. It really is a joke to think a computer can model and accurately predict what will happen with our climate.
