April 22, 2008 Earthday. Everyone needs to call their legislators and tell them that it is time to SCREW THE CARIBOU and DRILL THE ANWAR! If we are so Earth conscious, and nature is what we are trying to get back to, I wish someone could explain to me what other animal in history has spent so much effort in trying to starve itself out of existence. Maybe that is what killed the dinosaurs, they realized that dino flatulence was a greenhouse gas and since they didn’t have opposable thumbs decided to just starve themselves into extinction rather than continue producing gases that polluted the pristine Earth they inhabited.
If we don’t wake up soon, that is what we are going to do in the name of global warming. We are turning all our corn into a very inefficient fuel, causing shortages of corn, wheat, rice, and soybeans. You can already feel these higher prices at the store. Countries in other parts of the world are having food riots because of shortages, how long will it be before the same thing happens here? How did one man touting junk science manage to become so influential? Al Gore will not face questions about this thing called Global Warming from scientists with opposing positions. If he was sure of the facts that would be the very thing to do in order to win more converts to his position, but it is an indefensible position that he has taken. There is quality research that contradicts this man made global warming theory, but the main stream media will not cover it. It doesn’t make headlines to tell people that everything is okay, and that there isn’t anything to worry about. It only makes the news when there is disaster looming.
Well, there is disaster looming! We will, for the first time ever become an importer of grain this year. America, the bread-basket of the world will have to import wheat. It isn’t that we don’t have the land or technology to produce it. Our government is paying subsidies to get corn for ethanol manufacture. We have vast oil reserves off our coasts, but we won’t allow ourselves to tap them. Of course that doesn’t stop anyone else from moving in and drilling, that way we can pay to import OUR OWN OIL!
I remember the Time article from the 1970′s warning us of a coming ice age and the dangers of Global Cooling. Luckily we woke up in time before some power hungry ex-vice President got on the bandwagon and found that he could finally get people to listen to him when he was talking about a fantasy. Waking up gave us about 30 years, but do our children have a future?
Call your legislators and tell them to stop the ethanol subsidies and start drilling where we know there are reserves, so that our children will at least have food to eat as the planet fries. 202-224-3121 Call them today, after all, it is EARTHDAY.
