Many people are going to be seeing/talking about Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth for awhile now. I am entirely in favor of being a good steward of the environment; but is calling global warming and its dangers “truth”… going too far?
The pro-global warming side of the story is to be found everywhere; so here are some links to the other side of the story. Read, distribute, make up your own mind.
- Environment and Climate — the CATO Institute
- Q & A on Climate Change - The Marshall Institute
- Global warming controversy - Wikipedia
- The Real “Inconvenient Truth” — JunkScience.com
- GlobalWarming.org
I’m not trying to suggest that the people who believe in human-caused global warming are stupid, irresponsible, or brainwashed; nor that there are not persuasive arguments on each side. Let’s just agree that it is a theory, not a “truth,” and that there exists significant controversy over the plausibility of human-caused global warming, and the alleged dangers of it.
There’s not “theory” here - these are facts. Just ask the residents of Aspen, CO, about it. Take a trip to Montana and SEARCH for the “glasiers” in Glacier Nat’l Pk. It’s all too real.
