Pirate's Cove

Let's see. We have a supposed consensus of scientists who believe feel that Man is causing global warming. We also have the 17,000 who believe otherwise. How about hearing about one specific scientist?

(CNSNews.com) – Just as Galileo and Einstein transcended the "consensus" of their day, so too will a growing body of scientific evidence eventually vindicate non-alarmist views on global warming, predicts environmental scientist Fred Singer.

The very notion of consensus on global warming is a "laughable" proposition, Singer said during a talk at the Heritage Foundation this week.

Proponents of man-made global warming theories, such as former Vice President Al Gore, claim there is scientific consensus on a link between human activity and rising temperatures.

In a new book he co-authored with Dennis Avery entitled "Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1500 Years," Singer writes, "It is sheer fantasy to suggest that a huge number of scientists with expertise in global climate change endorse an alarming interpretation of the recent climate data."

Singer points out that hundreds of climate scientists have argued against what passes for a consensus view on the subject.

Don't argue with me, argue with the climatologist. Is Al Gore certified in climatology? How about the beauracrats who wrote the IPCC report?

And tell me, how is it that the Earth has gone through periods throughout its lifespan of warmer and colder times, over hundreds of millions of years, yet this current barely warmer period can only be caused by Man? Why do the global warming as caused by Man adherents totally ignore the natural processes of the Earth and Sun?

Meanwhile, this is a smart idea

Fairfax (county) plans to become a "cool" county, where wind power, hybrid vehicles and environmentally friendly building techniques would reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to combat global warming, Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly will announce today.

For Fairfax's 1 million residents, Connolly's proposal would mean rides on ethanol-burning buses, tax breaks for owning hybrid cars and new neighborhoods with more trees and green space. Residents might also grow accustomed to seeing green on public buildings — vegetation planted on the roofs of schools and firehouses to consume carbon dioxide, Connolly said.

Hey, there is nothing wrong with using alternative power sources and reducing pollution from passenger vehicles, even if it is for a silly reason like global warming caused by Man. Planting trees and such? Great!

Wasting lots of money, harming the economy, and death threats? Not so great.
