Global Warming is A Fraud – That’s Really What Some People Believe!

As we all know, Galileo’s telescope observations and his calculations convinced him the earth revolved around the sun rather then the other way around. However, that was contrary to the teaching of the Catholic Church. After a Church trial in 1633 he was compelled to recant his claim, to be under house arrest for the rest of his life and to have his writings banned as well as his books burned. The Church Global_warming insisted the Bible taught the opposite of Galileo’s claim since Joshua commanded the sun and not the earth to stand still. The Roman Catholic Church along with other Protestant religions maintained this position long after the scientific proof made it clear this was incorrect. Even Martin Luther insisted that the Bible taught this truth as did Calvin. It was 1992 when the Pope public ally apologized for it’s treatment of Galileo. That’s a long time to cling to a totally incorrect claim. What’s amazing is that even today there are religious fundamentalist groups that insist the Bible is right and the sun revolves around the earth.What brings this to mind is the June issue of Columns, a publication of the University of Washington, where the lead article was about the changing conditions of the ocean and global warming. In the very next issue there were letters to the editor complaining about the "bogus" article and accusing it as being "far left and full of distortions, falsehoods and unsupported claims" because global warming was a left wing myth. Whenever there is an article in the local newspaper or in a magazine warning of the effects of global warming there is an immediate knee jerk emotional reaction by people who are convinced global warming is a fraud upon the American people and there is no problem at all because this is a natural phenomenon not contributed to by man. Apparently the Bush administration and talk radio have convinced them otherwise so they insist on believing a fairy tale rather then accept the photographic and scientific evidence which is overwhelming.

I just can’t understand how any thinking person could continue to accept the ridiculous claim that global warming doesn’t exist and that any change is natural rather then man made. The scientists’s at the University of Washington reported that from studies and observations over the past 40 years scientists know that the oceans naturally exchange about 282 billion tons of carbon dioxide each year into and out of the ocean in a two way exchange process. But, before the industrial revolution there was a balance with no net change in carbon retained in the ocean. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution the balance has consistently changed with the ocean accumulating more carbon each year. The rate of change has been increasing at a faster rate each year. Today, we are told, the ocean absorbs an addition 8 billion tons of carbon dioxide each year due to the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and the like. The uptake in accumulation amounts to approximately 525 billion tons of carbon dioxide. This has resulted in a chemical change of sea water. This has been a contributor to global warming and all the disastrous consequence it causes.

Can someone explain to me how people can insist the world is really flat, the landing on the moon was a fraud by NASA and there is no global warming going on for us to be concerned about. Are these people living in a cave somewhere with a crystal radio set listening to Rush Lumbagh?
