Be carful what you wish for, and all that...one more reason not to listen to the Environuts
I wish I had a link for this, but I couldn't find one.
As some of you know, I clean offices for a living. When I clean one in particular, I often find, in the trash, appropriately enough, a copy of "The Week", that great liberal rag of a publication. Sometimes I take it and use it for bathroom reading, and sometimes for more practical purposes, just in case the stall is out of paper (as I'm pretty efficient, however, this rarely happens).
In the June 3rd issue there was an article on how the Earth is heating up faster than normal global warming should be causing, because of thirty-odd years of pollution-reducing legistlation from countries around the world
This legislation, recommended for years by enviromentalists and aimed at reducing the level of pollution in the Earth's atmosphere, has resulted in a drastic reduction in sunlight-reflecting patricles in the air.
"Global dimming", as it was called, is no longer cancelling out global warming, as it had up to the mid-1990s. This is causing more sunlight to reach the Earth's surface, which is then trapped by the greenhouse gasses of global warming, and creating another significant rise in temperatures.
So, by listening to the environmentalists who wrung their hands because we were polluting the air and reducing our level of polluting, we're actually hestening our own demise.
Come on. Make up your minds, folks....
But hey! The enviroleft is telling us now that we've taken too much pollution out of the air....so, let's all have bonfires this weekend and start helping Mother Earth get over her sunburn! While you're at it, toss on a couple tires, too!
It's about time we found some common ground, huh?
