This weeks Country Cousins global warming update ON THE SOAP BOX GLOBAL WARMING??? Our wonderful President Obama is at it again! Despite ample evidence to the contrary, and despite Constitutional prohibitions against what he’s doing, he has decided to unilaterally protect us from evil energy producers that he claims to believe pollute the atmosphere and cause global warming. Even presidents need to remember that they are subject to the rule of law like the rest of us. If he persists in ignoring the other two branches of government in this nation, he needs to be hauled into court like any other lawbreaker. When will Congress face up to that fact and get the job done? And speaking of Global Warming, the ignorance - or perhaps it’s arrogance, displayed by some who continue to claim it exists is abysmal. Some of those are educated people who surely should know better. Think perhaps they have ulterior motives? Recently caught just part of a show in which two young scientists were reporting on their exploration of glaciers in the polar region. They were there to witness the event when a portion of a glacier broke off and splashed into the ocean. One was totally in awe. Said they had witnessed history in the making. Said they had witnessed absolute proof of the effect of global warming. This was a perfect example of either a con artist or an educated idiot! Where does he think the icebergs of the past came from? What caused the iceberg that sunk the Titanic? Did no professor ever teach him that portions of glaciers regularly get pushed to the sea and drop off. Did they not teach him this is so common that there’s a name for this process, and that name is “calving”? We learned that in elementary school! According to Wikipedia, “Calving of Greenland’s glaciers produce 12,000 to 15,000 icebergs each year alone.” And guess what? Back in the Viking days, Greenland was just that, green. Then along came “global colding” and covered it with ice. Wonder what sort of human activities caused that? Sure wasn’t vehicle exhaust or smokestack emissions!
