Sick and Tired of Climate Change Lobby
Man… I don’t know how muc more of this I can take: Youth Groups telling Stephen Harper how to set environmental policy? I mean, at least scientists and oceanographers deserve a modicum of respect, but really.
Overall though, I can’t stand this lobby, and how they seem to be in the news every 2 or 3 days. Panic that oceans are rising. Panic that icecaps are melting. Panic over desertification (which is mostly agriculturally driven, not climate driven!) This is bull. You don’t need to be a scientist to figure it out either, though I have looked a lot of scientific material trying to make sense of global warming (which didn’t exist 25 years ago by the way - the latest panic trumpeted by scientists in the late 70s was global cooling, despite the fact that globally, rates of serious greenhouse pollutants like coal and woodburning have dropped like stones).
All you have to do is look back at ye olde science textbook from grade school. All these environmental scientists buy into evolution right?
