I know this is not pertaining to Masonry but I love some of the government freakouts. Y2K for instance. The only problem with that is that it was dated. On Jan 1 2000 we knew it was bogus. I wonder if it is not the same with Global Warming. Keep in mind I am all for helping the enviroment and finding alternative fuels but this is a great scare tactic. I mean think of the money made off of global warming. And the best thing is that it can't be dated. It is just funny that Farmers Almanac calls for a cooling. I was watching a show on Discovery where they did core samples and showed where this happened several times in the Earths history. Very interesting show.

I would like to know what you think about Global Warming. Fact or Fiction?

not sure about global warming myself, I would have to lean toward the fact our pollution does not agree with Mother nature. What gets my nanny goat though is that we are sitting on our hands like, wow we have gas powered stuff now lets just shut down shop and go home, why would we not pursue knowledge and try to find something better wheither there is a problem or not are we not explorers do we not love to discover something new; Well why are we all not demanding something new, I want something I can drive that puts off exhaust I can drink or eat, and the fact that we have not figured out how to power our world with the sun yet reminds me how little we know, it has been powering the earth for billions of years and has so much to share and give. So to answer the question I could care less about global warming but what I do care about is that we have become lazy and comfortable with the knowledge and know how, of today and are not putting the majority of our efforts for something better. Energy is all around us, hydrogen, wind, sun, oxygen etc... there is better than what we have now and I know that we can contrive something that keeps our lifestyles the same and agrees with Mother Nature.

I'm not sure MAN has anything to do with global warming. I do know I am freezing my ass off right now. If Al Gore believes MAN can change global warming, why doesn't he park some of his private jets and go GREEN at many of his homes. I wish I could fix the problem
but I don't think I would have much impact one way or another.

Global Warming is a scam. It is an attempt to carbon tax your lifestyle and morally justify extreme population control measures (ie. they want to kill you). Al Gore does not want you to "change" and be without fossil fuels, his family fortune is in Occidental Petrolium; he wants to squeeze more money out of your wallet and decrease the global population. In accuality, it is a front to end American sovereignty!

There seem to be just as many scientists who DISagree with human-induced global warming as agree. I don't believe that it's a consensus of opinion at all. Even if it were, however, that doesn't make it so.

All theory that warming is caused by humans is just that -- theory, and is based on what scientists think they know about the past, and even moreso, on forecast models of the future. These models are constructed using what they currently know about atmospheric dynamics. I find it hard to put alot of faith in a forecast of global conditions a decade from now though when the same data can't even accurately predict whether it will rain or not in 7 days!

I think we're too insignificant to damage the planet on a global scale. It's been said that the only thing permanent is change, and indeed, the earth would both warm and cool over time even if we didn't exist. The Martian icecaps are melting too, and unless there are many billions of little green guys there, zipping around in internal combustion-powered flying saucers, it seems to me to be strengthening the case of warming caused by natural processes. What exactly did our planet do between the last couple of ice ages?

Another consideration -- is the earth really WARMING at all? The last few years have seen record-cold winters worldwide. Here in the Houston area, I've personally observed milder summers and colder winters for years now. We often hear of all the ice that is melting, but little of the many areas where it's increasing.

It's funny that it hasn't been the current government freaking out about global warming. In fact it's been just the opposite. The scientist that they paraded out that down played the issue of global warming have since come forward and said they were told what to say. These guys do believe we have a problem that is being magnified by our pollution.
