Told ya so, told ya so!

The British TV station Channel Four is coming out with a scientific rebuttal to Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth."

"The Great Global Warming Swindle" features experts in climatology, meteorology and other disciplines — from such places as MIT and NASA. The film disputes the link between carbon dioxide levels and global temperatures.

One scientist calls the recent U.N. summary report on climate change "a sham" that included the names of scientists who actually disagreed with its findings.

So, did I tell you so or did I tell you so. Global Warming is a HOAX. It's a smoke-screen. And when a person like Al "I buy pollution indulgences" Gore promotes the thesis of "Global Warming," you can be pretty sure that it's all about politics and not about science.

I'll even go a step or two farther into "green" and "environment" politics. Ever since the earth was inhabited by humans, we have had an effect on the environment. There is no way to go "back" to the 'pristine' because the 'pristine' existed before the first humanoid, in fact, before the first animal, fish, fowl, bug, insect, molecule of living-being ever existed.

The first time a molecule separated into two and then four and then sixteen, such activity began the destruction of the 'pristine' earth. The 'pristine' was a void. A blank. Without any life. A dead-zone.

And then, the first "life" occurred. Whether you believe as I do that God created the earth and then populated it with living beings, or if you believe that some molecule got zapped and suddenly morphed into something living, as soon as there was something living in the void, that void lost its 'pristine' existence.

Oh my goodness. A salient thought. A sudden awareness. There is no way to return to 'pristine.' Even blowing up earth would not return it to 'pristine.' Killing all the humans and animals and fish and birds and bugs and bacteria and germs wouldn't bring the earth back to 'pristine.' It simply cannot be done.

Well, sputter, sputter, what about . . . ? We can't return to 'pristine' but we can reduce, reuse, recycle and try to do as little additional damage to the environment as possible. Each of us has to accept responsibility for our individual part of the current state of the environment. If you own a car, you're polluting the environment. Buying "pollution indulgences" (carbon off-sets) as Al Gore does, from his own company, yet, so that he can heat and cool three houses, including a 20-room mansion in Nashville, is cheating. Al Gore is not 'down-sizing' at all. He's using up the environment at least three times faster than the average family in a six, seven, or eight room house.

Which is why I said and I say, Global Warming is a HOAX. Al Gore brought it up so that he can appear to be the 'earth's savior' when he's 'talked' into running for President (again) in 2008. Global warming is all about politics and has nothing to do with saving the environment. How can it be about saving the environment when the 'herald of hope' is Al "I buy pollution indulgences from my own company" Gore?
