The part that cracks me up, is the ones on the left SCREECHING it's "settled science", that's a phrase they love. I have to chuckle at the sheer arrogance of such a blanket statement, because the earth being flat was once "settled science". The very science of science requires a heavy dose of skepticism, otherwise you're just going on faith and it's become a religion then.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453990769681687739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-22570328565037919432015-03-04T09:08:32.491-07:002015-03-04T09:08:32.491-07:00Frank, as to why one political party embraces glob...Frank, as to why one political party embraces global warming, well, I already answered your question; follow the money.A Modest Scriblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698092153994590787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-19276937140754134492015-03-04T08:45:44.043-07:002015-03-04T08:45:44.043-07:00I personally don't have the expertise to make ...I personally don't have the expertise to make the Global Warming call. It may very well be that some day in the future, the burning of fossil fuels may cause a problem. So I depend on the experts to guide me. What I don't understand is why we can't come to some agreement that it is or isn't a problem today. I think the "chicken little" approach that, oh god, the planet has heated a whole 1 degree in the last 50 years doesn't cut it because temperature history says it happens. But. That doesn't mean it won't be a problem. So. Are we spending billions to protect my Great Grandchildren, or are we being scammed? And how is it that one Political Party believes one way, and the other the complete opposite? That's the scary part. That a political philosophy can get us to believe or not. It's like abortion. I truly believe in the right of the individual to decide. They will have to answer for that decision some day. Can't there ever be just one side to a story that we all agree on? Is that so hard? Damn. Guess it's impossible.Franknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-89024449669624381052015-03-04T06:47:05.778-07:002015-03-04T06:47:05.778-07:00I watched a bit of it, Craig, and bookmarked it fo...I watched a bit of it, Craig, and bookmarked it for later viewing.
