What's So Hot About Fickle Science?

A thousand years ago, the Arctic was warmer than it is now. Circa 982, Erik the Red and a bunch of other Vikings landed in Greenland and thought, "Wow! This land really is green! Who knew?" So they started farming it, and were living it up for a couple of centuries. Then the Little Ice Age showed up, and they all died. A terrible warning to us all about "unsustainable development": If a few hundred Vikings doing a little light hunter-gathering can totally unbalance the environment, imagine the havoc John Edwards' new house must be wreaking.

The ice caps on Mars are melting. Please explain to me how driving an SUV on Earth is causing "global warming" on Mars? This "global warning" campaign is all about socialists who think government should rule everything about our economy, latching on to an agenda of ending free enterprise because "capitalists" cannot be allowed to ruin our world by not spending all our money the way socialists think we should spend it. In this case they think you should spend money on "wind farms" or "solar panels" or "electric cars" or blah, blah, blah, blah . . .

It doesn't matter what issue comes up. The socialist agenda is that you will not have choice. Government, socialist goverment, will decide because "you" are too stupid to choose.

"Global warming" advocates ignore any science that disputes that man is causing "global warming" because their issue is not "global warming". Their only issue is socialism and government control of your life.
