Climate change is a reality. It has been going on since the universal flood. Temperature changes have also had their ups and downs. From the 10th to the 13th century, Greenland was green (no SUVs). During the Little Ice Age from A.D. 1500 to 1900, the English were ice skating on the river Thames.

Scientists have observed, going back hundreds of years, an extremely close to correlation between sunspot activity and the earth’s temperature.

Carbon dioxide is not our enemy. It, and oxygen, are the twin gases of life. Researches have run experiments where carbon dioxide have doubled, 280 ppm to 600 ppm. The increase in wheat, oranges, and pine trees ranged from 41 percent to 265 percent.

“The amount of carbon dioxide that man puts into the atmosphere is about 3 billion tons per year, 39,000 billion tons from our oceans, 2.200 billion tons from vegetation and soils, and 750 billion tons from our atmosphere. Much of man’s contribution is consumed by vegetation,” says Dr. Edward F. Blick, author of over 150 scientific articles and publications.

Carbon dioxide makes up less than 0.02 percent of our atmosphere. Man’s contribution is insignificant.

Before we go carbon-capping, paying for carbon footprints, creating food shortages, raising taxes, allowing more government control on our lives, etc., we need some honest research, not fear mongering.

For information, check the Internet for Dr. Edward F. Blick, Dr. Reid Bryson, research by Svensmark and Fris-Christiansen, and Christopher Monckton, science advisor to Margaret Thatcher.

If you need more convincing, take a closer look at the balance of nature and the more than 100 scientifically vital values, i.e., our atmosphere, precisely balanced to produce the conditions that favor life and especially humanity.

In reality, what is man and our control of our universe? From what I have read, we are just a lump of clay or maybe mud, if we get too wet. If we cannot forecast weather over a five-day period of time, how can you believe Al Gore’s 100-year prediction?
