You're getting warmer?

I didn't observe Earth Day. Don't get me wrong; I'm all for keeping our house in order but Earth Day is moving beyond just being good stewards of the planet so that our progeny will be able to enjoy clean air and water. Radicals are "seizing the day" in order to promote a corrupt agenda.

I'll admit that I believe climate change is real. I'll even concede the possibility that the ice caps could melt and the sea levels could rise. I just don't accept that anything humanity has done has had anything more than a negligible impact and I don't accept that there is anything we can do to remedy any potential problems. As such, I'm led to analyze the motives of anyone who promotes such nonsense.

What I've concluded is that there are 3 basic groups amongst those who believe in man-made climate change. The first is the least worrisome. They're not fanatical and they really don't know much about the issue. They just see and hear all of the propaganda and simply have a genuine concern. The second is also nothing to fear but they won't be swayed. They're zealots and really believe this stuff and probably lose sleep at night over the fact that it seems like nobody wants to do anything about the problem. The final group is the one to worry about. They either know it's a hoax or they don't care; they just want to profit from it. They refuse to relent because they're building an infrastructure that will reward them if they're able to dupe the rest of us.

Maybe I'm wrong but I didn't form my view in a vacuum. You can't depend on "research" from just one point of view. Study the opposition, too, and test each side against the other.
