Global Cooling - You Better Believe It!!!

These days we are bombarded with global warming hypes from all sites. And like always, when environmental issues are involved, the situation goes from general dismissal to full blown panic with an ever growing support group of extremists that go after anybody that dares to be skeptical or argues to the contrary of global warming as a consequence of human abuse of this planet. The culmination has been reached in recent weeks, when the advocates of global warming have attributed hurricane Katharina and its devastations as a direct consequence of global warming. They have moved forward and insinuated that the "denial of global warming" is equivalent to the "denial of the Holocaust"! I'm not an expert nor am I terribly knowledgeable about global warming. I do tend to be skeptical every time humans come up with theories that anything man made has changed the global conditions on this planet for better or worst. I believe that this planet is just simply too big to for us humans to really make any difference. It was there long before us and I do believe that it still will be there long after us. Other issues that never change: news makers need a study and uninterrupted slew of bad news, media and entertainer need scares to sell books, movies, magazines, papers etc, and politicians need a reason (read threat) why you need to either vote them in , or keep them in office. That was the case back in 1975 too. The only difference is, back then it was global cooling that had us backed up against the wall. Please download a Newsweek Magazine article from April 28, 1975 Global Cooling and tell me that this does not sound similar to what you hear today. With the exception that it is the exact opposite. Since I have no choice but to rely exclusively upon common sense; I conclude that if we have turned the imminent threat of global cooling in 1975 into an imminent threat of global warming within 30 years, we shall be able to cool that sucker back down if need to be!!
