WHAT ABOUT FLOODING FROM MELTING POLAR ICE?

Have you ever seen a full drink glass overflow as the floating ice
cubes melt? No. Water expands as it freezes into ice cubes, and only
melts to equal the liquid volume displaced as it floats. Any completely
submerged ice cubes will melt to a smaller liquid volume.

Therefore, if global warming should cause frozen polar seas to melt,
sea water levels on our beaches are unlikely to rise except by what ice
melts on the much smaller polar land areas and through cyclical tide
variations. Areas reporting rising sea levels are actually caused by
land sinking, such as at Venice, Italy where the land is sinking at the
rate of four inches a century. Venice has sunk six feet since it was
founded in 801 A.D. One theory is that the immense weight of the Alps
mountain range is compressing the earth's substructure layers, causing
most of northern Italy to sink.

DOES CARBON DIOXIDE HARM THE ENVIRONMENT?

We cannot eliminate all carbon dioxide because much carbon dioxide is
needed to feed the chlorophyl in plants and trees, where it is converted
into the oxygen you need to breathe in, which is then converted to carbon
dioxide as you breathe out. What would we do without oxygen? Carbon
monoxide is the bad one and is always poisonous. There should be a
reasonable trade-off between reducing harmful impurities in our
atmosphere and excessive restrictions on producing our needs. Polution
created by volcanos and other natural phenomena is many times greater
than the polution caused by mankind.

IS GLOBAL WARMING REALLY HAPPENING?

In 1988, James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space
Studies, testified before the Senate that based on computer models and
temperature measurements he was "99 percent sure . . . the [human caused]
greenhouse effect has been detected and it is changing our climate now."
His statement was widely covered by the media and brought the term
"global warming" to the general public's attention for the first time.
Many of his colleagues thought, and still think, that his announcement
was premature at best and rash at worst. But critics received little
attention in the rush to publicize this most apocalyptic of all
environmental threats.

Nineteen years later, I want to know when this global warming is
supposed to happen. Since Hansen's year 1988 global warming warning,
temperatures have fluctuated from warmer to colder in various parts of
the world, but don't show any average world-wide temperature increase.
Fact is, warmest average temperatures were recorded back in the year
1936. In the year 1970, global cooling was the crisis that scaremongers
were touting.

The global warming debate that the public and policymakers usually
see is one-sided, dominated by government scientists and government
organizations agenda-driven to find data that suggest a human impact on
climate and to call for immediate government action, or to fund their own
continued research with government grant money, but often to achieve
political agendas entirely unrelated to the science of climate change.
There is another side, but in recent years it has been denied a platform
from which to speak.

Most of the media articles you will see refer to reports issued by
the IPCC. The IPCC is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change, a
political body appointed by the United Nations (UN). Many of the 3,000
members of this panel are not scientists, but simply political
appointees. The few real scientists on the panel have disputed the
panel's findings but have been silenced by having their comments deleted
from the reports.

More than 19,000 basic and applied American scientists, two-thirds
with advanced degrees, have signed the Oregon Institute of Science and
Medicine's Global Warming Petition, which says in part, "There is no
convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide,
methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable
future, cause catastrophic heating of the earth's atmosphere and
disruption of the earth's climate."

The solutions given for global cooling and global warming appear to
be the same: population control, redistribution of wealth, and more
government control, which also seem to be the goals of secular
progressives and Marxists.

Analysis of global warming and global flooding indicates that they
are based on selective partial evidence, rumors and steam-rollered
propaganda by powerful antagonists with the agenda of changing our way of
living. Case closed.
