February 2007 . . . on my word Welcome to my word. This site is the online journal of Andrew Bishop. I share my opinions on a variety of subjects and current events. Like most everyone on the planet I have opinions about what’s happening in the world around me. Unlike others I’m not compelled to convert you to my thinking; mostly because my thinking is a little warped. Some people see the world though rose colored glasses, mine are Grocho.
There are no stated objectives here, no political ideology or any other –ology for that matter. This is all about me and my view of the world. You are welcome to comment on what you read here, but have no illusions. I will entertain any point of view if I recognize a hint of intelligent thought. If however I recognize lemming thinking, you’re finished.
. . . on Global Warming This has to be the single most important issue facing the world today. “There are ominous signs that the Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production– with serious political implications for just about every nation on Earth.” “Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climate change, or even to allay its effects.” “The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.” Heads of state, religious leaders, college professors and Al Gore all agree that something must be done to turn the tide of global warming before the tide comes in; and eats Florida. But where are the scientific facts? The quotes above are from a Newsweek article entitled, “The Cooling World”, April 28, 1975. I know it’s the most critical issue because we are told to think so by all the carbonaphobs. We are under a daily bombardment of opinion masquerading as scientific fact. We are told to reduce our carbon footprint, which as a lover of science I find ironically humorous since the human body is 22.86% carbon. Our schools have joined the fight by indoctrinating our children in the religion of global warming. Yes that’s right I said religion. Here’s a quote from the inconvenient truth website. “There is no doubt we can solve the problem. In fact, we have a moral obligation to do so.” Don’t you mean amoral? We don’t have any conclusive scientific evidence to support the hypothesis that human behavior effects the climate. Yet we better take action now or we’re doomed. I am a student of science and as such I understand the basic principles of sound scientific method. The carbonaphobs have leapt from hypothesis to conclusion ignoring the inconvenient facts along the way. By design, science is conclusive and irrefutable. When the whole of the scientific community is convinced, I’ll get on board. Until then, I’m not counting my carbon emissions. In conclusion I must say I believe in God — not a god but the one and only creator of it all. When I look at the incredible complexity of the world around us I’m in awe. I’m not just talking about the planet Earth, but the whole universe, the Sagan billions and billions. We human beings are but a miniscule component in the creation of God. I believe it is with much arrogance and ignorance that we proclaim to have such a profound impact on the grand design. That’s my word, AB |
