Shut up, Shut UP, SHUT UP!

Gah! Can somebody PLEASE make this blowhard shut the hell up? I mean, seriously. Unless he wants the sun to suddenly get colder, there is honestly not a whole lot we as humans can do. Well, except perhaps stop EVERYTHING that we do, and then hope, just hope! that perhaps the climate will change.

My sheep contribute much more to the whole CO2 emissions thing than do all of my vehicles put together. Well, maybe not as much anymore seeing as how our herd went from nine down to four this weekend. But still - when ANIMALS FARTING has as much impact as it does, there's not all that much we humans can do, realistically, beyond not raising so much livestock. And frankly, the bell was truly rung more than a hundred years ago when all those smokestacks were belching out pollutants at an astounding rate. That stuff is still hanging up there, and I would bet still has a lasting impact on what is happening today. B ut do we think about that? Noooo. It's all us, and how we're all bad, all the time.

And please. Don't forget about the sun. Perhaps we can tell it to change its temperature for us, so that it won't heat things up too much and create more of a problem for us. Please? Pretty please? No? Well, okay then. I guess we'll deal.

Or not, if shrill Mr. Gore gets his way. Nobel Peace Prize my ass. It was a complete political gesture by the "committee." He did nothing for world peace. NOTHING. The prize hasn't had a worthwhile recipient since Mother Theresa and Ghandi. It's all politics. Why anybody thinks that prize has meaning anymore is beyond me. Feh!

Edit: THIS article only further cements my opinion. Scare tactics rule the day, logic does not. Go figure.

There are lot's of other people out there speaking the truth about climate change, Gore is just the most famous. Check out Paul Hawken http://www.paulhawken.com/paulhawken_frameset.html

And even if Gore and all the other scientists and environmentalists who have the evidence to back up the climate change problem were wrong, if we make the necessary changes we still end up with a cleaner environment. I don't see how that could be bad.

Don't drink the Kool-Aid; try some clear, fresh water for a change.
