Global Warming

I bet that sometime recently, you went outside and either thought or mumbled something like, "Damn its cold. I wish it was warmer." If not, you live in a desert (and probably have more pressing matters to attend to, such as scorpion hunting or sweeping the sand out of your house).

For this reason, it is common sense to support global warming. Why not try to make the world a better place for the average person, and warm the Earth by just a few degrees?

Either way, global warming most likely isn't occurring in the same manner as all those "scientists" and "experts" claim. See, scientists get money through grants from organizations, businesses, and the government. If they can make people believe that there is some huge problem that could kill us all if the scientists aren't given enough money, they have an infinite fund of cash.

Remember the Y2K "crisis?" You might not, because nothing actually happened except for people stocking up on non-perishable goods and a spike in generator sales. The nukes weren't launched, computers didn't fail, and the local dry cleaner opened the next day for business as usual.

In light of the fact that the world is still in existence, yet we have been confronted by such alarmist threats in the past, what makes you think that this new apocalyptic claim is even based on evidence?

As an aside, the world isn't going to end in 2012. I understand that the Mayan calendar ended in that year. I also understand that the Mayans believed that one of the ways to reach the Underworld cosmos was through playing a prehistoric version of soccer, so we obviously should consider everything that the Mesoamerican cultures believed to be fact.

Scientifically, there have been more extreme fluctuations in CO2 levels in the sordid history of the Earth. Humans are merely a grain of sand compared to the lengthy past of the world. Don't be so self-important. If you must believe that the world is warming, at least have the common sense to realize that having Malibu in your backyard would be better than the wretched winters of the Northeast USA.

When the "end" comes, feel free to join me having a beach party in January. Bring your suntan lotion.
