Global Warming and the Economy.

Do I believe in global warming? Actually, I believe in global climate change. I believe that the earth is constantly going through ice / fire ages and nothing we do can stop it. Our time on this rock, as it spins into the sun, has always been limited. We are destined to perish. Certainly, pollution has little effect on the natural progression of the earth. Not to say that pollution is harmless, in fact it will kill us if we do not control our emissions of various forms of waste. However, if we stopped all fossil fuel emissions, the current trend of global warming will continue regardless.

What the human race needs to do is create a new industry in terraforming. Our economy needs a real industry that effectively affects the world. Just as how the preparation for the war pulled us out of the great depression, shielding the power grid from EMP and solar flares as well as climate control could do the same. The current efforts in ethanol as well as solar and wind energy do nothing but line the pockets of the politicians that invest in these industries and then create laws that force us to use them. Wind energy (because it is erratic) is incompatible with the energy grid that powers the country. The production of solar panels produces toxic waste, need to be replaced regularly and has very low output. Ethanol takes three times the amount of water per volume to produce and deprives food from an already starving global community. Don’t get me started on farm subsidies.

There are some fantastic scientists that have developed solutions to the real problem. Proposals to build a solar shield that would orbit the earth could control global temperatures and the Gulf Stream. Potentially, even the weather could be engineered. Ken Caldeira at the Carnegie Institution of Washington and Damon Matthews at Concordia University have done several studies that substantiate the validity of these efforts. But corrupt politicians especially the liberals continue to pursue hapless endeavors to resolve the real issues. Instead they veil their greed by creating panic and playing on our fears. They have perfected the technique of convincing the masses that all that is bad is our own fault. That conservation and recycling is the only solution. More on the recycling scam later.
