Maybe not global warming...but it is something to think about and talk about...see also http://johnwphipps.blogspot.com/ I apologize for the jumping around you will have to do. I still have not figured out how to add these to my blog. It would make it longer though if ever I do.

Some of my own thoughts. In the video the guy sounds pretty convincing, doesn't he? I would find fault only with that he has not made the cost of false but we did do something about GCC (or whatever global warming is today) as high as it could be, while he made sure all the bases were covered on the opposing situation. I think the cost would be higher and catastrophic in either case. Life as we know it will end either way. I don't know what the guy in the video does for a living, but he Sounds like an insurance salesman. I have heard preachers that are pretty convincing as well, so maybe he is an insurance selling preacher? OK, maybe not. My point is that he seems to be making sense while you are listening to him. Thinking about what he said later, though, you can see some difficulties in his reasoning. I'll bet he could argue the other side of the debate as well.

I would have to agree with John Phipps about the fact that it is difficult to 'believe' in Global Warming when here in Michigan we had about the coldest summer I can remember. It does not seem logical that cold weather would be the result of Global Warming. I have some difficulty thinking that both droughts and excessive rainfall would be linked as well. Somehow, my mind can't work that way. So do I believe in Global Warming? Not today I don't. As far as I am concerned this has been a cold year, so it doubtful that there is Global Warming.

That is not to say that I think doing all we can to do away with pollution is wrong. Polluting our environment is extremely self defeating. Letting pollution exist because it cheaper is wrong. It is wrong whether or not Global Warming exists. We don't need to believe in Global Warming to know that pollution is harmful.

Do we all pollute? Yes! Could we all make a positive impact on pollution. We could try, and if we all did, that would make a difference. A difference has been made during my lifetime, in fact. Here in Michigan, there are gold finches again. This bird's numbers had fallen dramatically since the 1950's. Now there are a lot of them again. That is just one example.

Was there cost involved? Most likely there was. Did we pay it? Evidently. Should we continue? OH yes! Will it affect Global Warming? I don't know, but it doesn't matter, it should happen whether or not Global Warming exists or not! Global Warming is a 'political' debate. Pollution is a real thing. So fighting pollution is something needed. INM(NS)HO
