Some Say Yes, Some Say No. I Agree.

Did you know that Adam and Eve kept a herd of dairy dinosaurs? Or that there is no such thing as climate change or global warming? Well if you don't believe either if these things then just you ask Gov Rick Perry or Rep Michelle Bachmann. Then again, if you read Tom Friedman in the NY Times this morning, you'd wonder why Texas is on fire and Houston had 40 consecutive days over 100 degrees this summer, or that energy demand caused by high temperatures increased by 22%. The highest increase on record. Now of course, one single year doesn't make it so, but then again if you look over the last couple of decades, or even longer, you begin to see a pattern. This pattern ain't pretty, but it sure does show global warming. But I'll bet you need more than just my say so, so how about 99% of all climatologists and 98% of all scientists? As far as that dairy herd is concerned, just look it up in the old testament. Yep, if it ain't in there, it didn't happen. Just ask any literalist. In the meantime, it's milking time. This should be fun to watch. Who gets Mrs Rex? What Mr Friedman was trying to get at, is that it's past time when we got serious about combating our involvement in causing the global warming trend in order to mitigate the problem. As opposed to continuing to make it worse. Ya know what? Even if everyone who is actually likely to know what they're talking about is 180 degrees wrong, the worst we could do is help ourselves become less dependant on foreign oil. What could be wrong with that? Maybe it ain't American to be independent?
