Oh Climate Change, oh Climate Change...

...how much a joke you've come to be!
Global Warming has been re-named to Climate Change. Oooo that was clever. Give the same concept a different name, maybe people will like it better. That’ll work great, just like flatulence instead fart, currently not alive instead of dead, and God of Global Warming instead of Al Gore. Those all make everything so much easier to deal with.

The only thing being accomplished by changing the name to Climate Change is now instead of just two words, there are now four words that most Americans hate. Here are my solutions to stop this “Global Warming”, this “Climate Change.”

First, shut Al Gore up. The amount of hot air that guy spews out of his mouth has got to be bad for the environment. But not only that, if he would stop giving his presentations, he wouldn’t have to fly his private jet all over the place with only himself and his crew onboard. According to a press release from the Nashville-based think tank The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, in the past year Mr. Gore’s home, located in Nashville’s upscale Belle Meade area, consumed 213,210 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity in 2007, enough to power 232 average American households for a month. (you can read the full report here.) Oh, by the way, that's 19.33 homes each year.

I found an article on algore.com that explained the kWh claim was off by 30,000. Ok, we'll give them that. With the new figures included, that still comes out to 199.3 homes for a month or 16.6 homes each year. The other stuff on there doesn't matter, the Gore spokeswoman gave a statistic, therefore giving us a good figure of what the kWh of the Gore's Tennessee home is (183210 kWh). The reason that the Gores give for the exsesive energy use is for securty, since he was a former vice president. Well that may be, but I'm sure that they need more security from those opposed to Global Warming (i.e. more than half the country).

So what do others say about Global Warming? Here’s Paul Becker from the Muskogee Phoenix:

"I’m telling you global warming is a myth. However, please check the Internet (Al Gore’s invention) and ask about greenhouse gases. You will find that there are five. The most plentiful is water vapor making up 35 to 70 percent of all greenhouse gases. Mankind’s total contribution to all greenhouse gases — this includes cars, trucks, manufacturing plants, boats, planes and any pollution producer you can name — the total is less than 1 percent. Mother Nature provides the other 99 percent. It’s on the Net. " To get the full article, click here.

Only 1 percent you say? Well if nature is handling the other 99, then we don’t have much to worry about do we? I mean it’s good to be active in cleaning up the industry that we have now, but why dwell, worry, fret, and moan over something that really isn’t as big of a deal as it is made out to be. Ever heard of the term exaggeration? Global Warming is such a thing.

I think that it should rightly be renamed “A small increase in miniscule green house gas emissions.” And with a name that long, people will start to talk less and less about it, just because of the inconvenience the name poses.

I guess the good thing that comes out of this whole deal is the fact that we are taking initiative to clean up our planet. Cleaner cars, more efficient homes and businesses, and a healthier attitude brings a possitive light on the otherwise lying and scheming aspects of Global Warming
