Post No. 69: An Inconvenient Truth

http://ibdeditorial.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=299718849952830

After this and many other well thought out papers, dissertations, and explanations that demonstrate the sheer arrogance of man to think we can alter our climate to the degree that these predictions claim

solely

to promote an economy based on trading money for a mythical "carbon credit," to promote cap-and-trade motive, all at the expense of a few secular, progressive shamans?

I have come to one conclusion.

Man is the cause of global warming.

Scientific debate means nothing. Assuming blame for something that's out of your control, that's very... responsible.

Responsible. This word is utterly lost on people. You can be responsible for global warming, but not for crime. You can be responsible for natural cycles in weather, but not for the inevitable by-product of unprotected sex. You can be responsible for another person's poor governance of a nation that's not your own, but not for handling of the consequences of your own mistakes, like spilling coffee on yourself, or being shot while robbing a house.

Therefore, I will support the cause of anthropogenic global warming if only to kindle the seeds of self-responsibility.

In the old days, humans feared and worshipped gods that, according to the best logic of the day, caused misfortune in the lives of humans to amuse themselves.

Then some people whittled it down to one god. One source of problems and salvation.

Then some humans said "there is no god but (humans)."

Now, according to the best logic of the day, humans are the cause of the misfortunes of the individual and other things we don't truly understand. They must be. It's perfect logic.
