Global Warming:  Looking for the Balanced View

David Suzuki and all the other global warming zealots should be ashamed of themselves for fomenting hysterical, foaming-at-the-mouth misinformation on the subject. Suzuki has now come out demanding that politicians be held criminally responsible for not taking action that aligns with his view and others like him on global warming. He would also have all decisions affecting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions be made by scientists not politicians.  

These alarmists have brought you the endless environmental studies that preclude, it seems by years, of all new and expanded infrastructure and building projects, the banning of incandescent light bulbs, unprecedented food price increases caused by the use of corn based ethanol in gasoline (it takes 1.23 gallons of fuel to produce one gallon of corn ethanol), etc. CO2 makes up just 0.0384 per cent of our atmosphere while the sun is the source of our heat here on earth.  Which do you think contributes most to warming the earth?  

Suzuki and his lot continue to criticize Canada for not adhering to the nefarious and economy busting Kyoto Treaty that would have fast tracked nations like India and China in their quest to eat our lunch and dinner.  They would also enlarge government’s role in the economy and increase our taxes accordingly. 

Doesn’t it seem more in keeping with educating and not indoctrinating when so-called educators provide a balanced view of any subject rather than simply showing Al Gore’s documentary to their classes?  As Churchill once said “a lie will travel half way around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on”.  Does anybody care that the Antarctic ice pack is growing, that China and other large areas of the globe are in a record setting deep freeze this year including us?  

Time to cool the political and over-the-top hype, not to mention the quick and costly fixes to a non existent problem and get back to thinking and acting like rational humans.  True there are too many humans on this earth, we pollute far too much and we must find alternatives to our reliance on fossil fuels but must we become blind followers of fringe extremists and opportunistic politicians in our quest?
