For those of you that were alive & aware during the 70s, do yall remember when Global Cooling and warnings of a new ice age was nearing? The In April, 1975 issue of NEWSWEEK published an article saying “ominous signs that the earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically,...”, and warnings of an impending “drastic decline in food production.” A that time, scientists urged governments to consider emergency action to head off the terrible threat of . . . wait for it..... GLOBAL COOLING! Possible solutions mentioned in the NEWSWEEK article: to pour soot over the Arctic ice cap, to help it melt. YUP! Pour SOOT over the ice cap. Soot, being black, would ATTRACT the suns rays and heat up the underlying ice, thus, melting it! (And NEVER was there mention made of the consequences to coastal land!) Soooo..... I - WE are to believe the scientists have now done a COMPLETE TURNAROUND and NOW its GLOBAL WARMING? Uh-huh. Yea. Sure! (AND...did you see the recent findings? Studies conducted by our very own gubernment have found that ethanol fuels arent quite what theyve been touted as! Quotes include “Increasing bioenergy crop cultivation poses risks to ecosystems and biodiversity”, ...direct conflicts between land for fuels and land for food, other land-use changes, water scarcity, loss of biodiversity and nitrogen pollution through the excessive use of fertilizers., and The International Institute for Sustainable Development said estimates that the CO2 and climate benefits from replacing petroleum fuels with biofuels like ethanol are basically zero. Salts not good for you...then it is. Eggs arent good for you, then they are. If you like your current policy you can keep.... IM SOOOOOOOOOOO CONFUSED!
