Real facts about Global Warming

Contributed by Pete Schuyler

Many of us have been flooded with so called “facts” about a global warming problem. Listening to the Science Channel this morning, Ice Age cycles were mentioned and explained by the more developed information I had learned as a Geology student over 55 years ago. Ice ages have to do with sun and earth cycles of millions of years. It appears we are nearing the end of rising temperatures in preparation for the next ice age.

I found a complete apolitical discussion of the whole topic at the following web site: http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/ice_ages.html I encourage you to check it out. I’ll warn you in advance it is a rather long presentation full of graphics that serve to illustrate various geologic cycles.

The following three excerpts are from the article and provide an explanation for the current global warming hysteria:

Total human contributions to greenhouse gases account for only about 0.28% of the "greenhouse effect" (Figure 2). Anthropogenic (man-made) carbon dioxide (CO2) comprises about 0.117.

Approximately 99.72% of the "greenhouse effect" is due to natural causes -- mostly water vapor and traces of other gases, which we can do nothing at all about. Eliminating human activity altogether would have little impact on climate change.

The case for a "greenhouse problem" is made by environmentalists, news anchormen, and special interests who make inaccurate and misleading statements about global warming and climate change. Even though people may be skeptical of such rhetoric initially, after awhile people start believing it must be true because we hear it so often.
