Damn It's Hot

So it seems a lot of people think just because we've had an unusual warm spell in March, before spring even has started, that we'll have a scorching hot summer. Hello, Mr. Gore. I really recommend watching this video that was shown on UK Channel 4 a week or two ago. It is 75 mins long but has people of the highest credentials on it.

And just to be clear, I'm pretty pro environment. I think we're already overpopulated and straining the planet's resources. I think mega-corporations abuse our resources because they are driven only by the bottom line. I don't think Al Gore is a bad person but I really think he has overdone this and is being advised by too many people with an agenda. (Hell, I even voted for him when I correctly guessed my own party had nominated an idiot - yet I've still never forgiven his wife 'Tripper' for thinking she could clean up rock'n'roll, dumb uptight bitch). I hate the growth Bakersfield has gone through, actually all of California. Why we let huge developers eat up wildland and farmland while inner cities rot is ridiculous.

There is middle ground. Saving every sub species of snails is neither wise nor practical (even Stephen Jay Gould wrote an essay saying so. Just to side track SJG was one of the best science writers around. Easy to read and enjoyable. Great advocate of evolution. If you haven't ever read him there are several compilations of his essays in paperback. I didn't always agree with him but his writings were wonderful.)

The problem is the global warming crowd does not want middle ground. They want it their way and they lie and distort facts in an effort to get it. If there is science to back it up then use the science but use all the data and all the opinions out there.
