First it was
global warming and when that did not work, the name was changed to climate
change. In the 1970’s we were being
threatened with global cooling, but money could not be made on that issue, so
Al Gore and company pushed for a different climate attack and today we have
climate change. All as a result of
fossil fuels, that include coal, oil and gas.
They want to replace fossil fuels with windmills and solar panels that
can barely produce 4 % of energy today and depend on the wind blowing and the
sun shining. Yet, nobody is discussing exactly what fossil
fuels have provided the world over the last 100 years. To name a few, fabrics, plastics, water
purification, food production and sewage treatment to name a few. If not for fossil fuels you would not have
seen growth in electronics, space exploration and all the industries the space
program developed that have provided a better living standard for us. Should I mentioned weather satellites?
Due to
fossil fuels, people can live anywhere in this country since fossil fuels
provide either heat or cooling for our homes and vehicles we use to travel to
various locations throughout this country, something that renewables cannot do
today. How many people today would be
living in Florida, and other warm weather states in the summer time and cold
climates in the winter without the benefits of fossil fuels? In the colder climates would there still be a
forest as tress would be cut down to provide heat and cooking. And would the water we drink be cleaned of
bacteria to drink and animal and human waste in streams where early settlers
would get their water. Just look at the
so called 3rd world countries that do not have the benefit of fossil
fuels for housing, cooking, farming, waste removal, water purification, both
drinking and recreation as well as medicines to name a few of the many
advantages that fossil fuels have brought to the world.
So, do not
believe that fossil fuels are evil when there is no other alternative that can
replace fossil fuels today. Yes, maybe
in another 100 years we may develop other forms of energy to replace many areas
we use fossil fuels today, but until then, we need fossil fuels.
A little
research will get you the knowledge that the rise is CO2 levels over the past
100 years is nearly negligible combined with a rise of only 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit
during that time frame. The doomsayers claim
that 97% of scientist claim there is global warming, but one must read into the
statistics and what is actually claimed and by who.
In the 1970’s
it was being claimed that by the year 2000, England would not exist or in the
1980’s that fossil fuels would be close to non-existent by 2020 and billions of
people would be dead due to climate warming, famines and air pollution. Don’t believe the lies and deception. Research for yourself. Fossils fuels have brought us a better life. Of course we could and should go to clean nuclear
energy, but that would not be suitable for the climate change crowd. Of course, one must ask these people how they
travel to their events. I have yet to
see a plane with a windmill or sail that flies or a car with the same
equipment. Maybe they bike around the
country. But then again, if not for
fossil fuels, they would not have a bike to ride. Hypocrites?
I would say so. How much money
have these global climate warming advocates made with their speeches and
warnings?
