Global Warming Doomsday Called Off

It is easy to follow the pack. When the winds shift on an issue--as is the case with the war in Iraq--most of the public unconciously follows course and skillfull politicians conciously change their viewpoints. Global warming is another such issue. During the early and mid-1970s many scientists, the news media, and the public believed that the world was cooling and that we could be on the verge of a new ice age. Now of course, most believe in the opposite.

Let us hope that no rash and very expensive decisions are made on incomplete data and incorrect assumptions. There is no doubt that the Earth is currently in a warming state, but to say that it is caused by human activity is extremely doubtful at best, a fabricated lie at worst. This documentary shows why that is the case. (I've previously written on this issue--here's another good documentary.)

If you want to change the world, find another issue that's more important such as ending the war in Iraq, global poverty, or habitat destruction (the biggest threat to humanity today).
