Last week’s National Geographic’s news report that the Earth is bareley big enough to support life gives us the whole reason we have global warming. Ecobridge gives us what they believe to be the reasons for global warming. Number one item on their list is Carbon Dioxide, and every reason on their list is human created Carbon Dioxide. Nothing on their list of Carbon Dioxide sources is the Earth.
Of course nothing on Earth would ever create Carbon Dioxide. Nothing on Earth is ever to change. That’s why we’re still in the middle of the Ice Age from 15,000 years ago. That’s why we’re still in the “humid, semi-tropical environment” of the late Cretaceous period.
Milutin Milankovitch described “variations in the intensity and timing of heat from the sun are the most likely cause of the glacial/interglacial cycles” (my emphasis) in 1938. What? Cycles? Impossible! The Earth never changes. The Earth is 100 percent stable, which is why we don’t have plate tectonics and earthquakes.
Tectonics—the continent-shifting forces that build mountains and fuel volcanoes—recycle Earth’s crust by drawing it underground, where it melts and later re-emerges as magma, pointed out Diana Valencia of Harvard University.
That helps keep carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere more or less stable, as excess gas is removed from the atmosphere by reacting with fresh rocks in a process called “weathering.”
The carbon dioxide is later returned to the atmosphere via volcanic gases.
That tells me right there that the Earth is a living, breathing organism. People walking around on the Earth cannot drastically change it. That’s not to say that we shouldn’t be stewards of the Earth, but that we can’t stop what the Earth is doing naturally.
Since I’m stepping in it, there is another thing that really pisses me off about the doomsayers. It’s the “if you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the problem” mindset. If doing one thing is “good”, then doing the opposite is “bad,” but they take it another step futher. If you’re not doing the “good,” then you’re doing the “bad,” even if you’re not doing the “opposite of good.” And who is to say what good is? Maybe “Good” as we know it is univerally accepted as “evil.” Who is to say?
You have these wackjobs running around screaming “You’re causing problems! You’re causing problems. You’re not helping the solution, so you’re causing problems.” They make no allowances for people who don’t give a rat’s ass about some red-tailed green-tongued spottled salamander, that is probably some genetic mutation that’s developed in the past 1200 years, and was going to die off naturally because it’s extremely tasty to hawks, but once we built the Fontenelle Townsite Road bridge across the Green River it had a place to live where the raptors couldn’t eat them.
All I know is two things.
- If you’re not part of the problem, you’re part of the solution
- BLOW IT OUT YOUR PIE HOLE!
