Global warming (aka climate change) conflict: experts slug it out
Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 07:55PM A huge conflict over global warming has erupted, with experts saying there is no consensus and that man-made emissions are not doing the harm some experts claim. Daily Tech broke the story today. Read my post about this at Red State. Enjoy the video below produced by Americans for Prosperity. I discovered the video at The Washington Examiner.
I've written a number of stories here at The US Report about global warming/climate change, with some recent ones in the Environment category.
I do believe America should develop alternative forms of energy. I do not believe we can do that overnight; politicians have put this off for the last 16 years. It will take time to reduce our use of oil. But the insane political frenzy about this subject is costing people in our country ridiculous amounts of money. In other countries where there are internal conflicts and corrupt leadership, food donations people depend on from us are being diverted for fuel. We have to do something, but it cannot be done overnight.
In the video below, the young man who says he advocates $8 a gallon gasoline took a cab to see Al Gore who arrived with a motorcade. Gore's driver idled the engine for 20 minutes so the car would be cool.
Neither that young man nor Gore can begin to imagine what it is like for a senior living on a small fixed income or a single mother trying to keep a roof over her children's heads. I know what that is like because I have delivered food to people like that. In person.
