Al Gore has to be furious as he chomps down on his double cheeseburgers. Patrick Moore, the original tree hugger and founder of Greenpeace says that there is no human caused global warming. This is of course no surprise to me as I've never bought into the theory that humans are causing temperature increases on the planet. But, it must really frustrate those who are saying we only have ten years before we fry ourselves by our own hands. However, cow flatulence and manure send out more greenhouse gases than all the cars and planes combined! I wonder why Al Gore never mentions this. Couldn't be for his love of cheeseburgers, could it?
Sure, the stats show temperature increases over the last decade or so. But, it cooled by similar degrees the decade before. Back in 1974, Time Magazine even published an article saying the earth is headed to another ice age:
"man, too, may be somewhat responsible for the cooling trend.....dust and other particles released into the atmosphere as a result of farming and fuel burning may be blocking more and more sunlight from reaching and heating the surface of the earth."
Sound familiar? It's the same argument that global warming advocates are using today. Warming and cooling trends are more attributable to the cyclical nature of our planet than anything that man has done. Similar to the seasons in which we are all familiar, everything in nature runs in cycles, our physical planet included.
But, most won't listen to Mr. Moore. People who doubt man-made global warming are considered as crazy as the people who doubt the evolutionary theory that one species can actually change into another species.
