global warming

I frequently read the pro Global Warming sites, mostly because I can’t tell which side they are on until I have started reading the article, but very rarely are they on the correct side. I have come across a few lately that ask about the money. They show how much money is to be made by denouncing Global Warming (although I have not seen any of it, and most scientists that are truthful have their careers destroyed) and then ask what is to be made by inventing Global Warming?
Are you joking?
Scams like this are always going on. Remember Y2K? Businesses make boatloads of money off this crap. Now it is hip to be green, and people buy from the greenest company. Just like in 1999 people wanted to bank in the Y2K compliant banks. The problem is the definition of being Green has changed a lot. Now if you donate a bunch of money to one of these carbon credit or wind credit companies, then you are considered “carbon neutral”.
Bull!!
If you want to be carbon neutral build your house with trombe walls, and solar panels. Then ride your bike to work. Thing is that even then, I promise you will still make an impact! I used to do a lot of hiking and the big thing for a long time was to “Leave no trace”. This is a really good idea, but don’t kid yourself YOU ARE LEAVING A TRACE! If you weren’t then we could send a million of you through the wilderness one day and not be able to tell.
The definition of being “green” should be doing your part to make sure you pollute less. Recycle, ride your bike more, turn off your lights when not in use, and donate to upperweather.com, which is the greenest site on all the internets. If you feel compelled to donate to an alternative energy company, which I would encourage because I do feel we need to get off of oil, then do it because you want to not so you can brag about it.
Al Gore has already made $100 million on on this scam. Every company out there is claiming to be green. Football stadiums are claiming to be 100% wind powered although when you investigate it is just credits too. Politicians trying to get re-elected are dismissing real national crisis’ in order to pass Global Warming legislation and get more votes. This big “awesome” bill they are working on hurts our auto industry and does nothing to the amount of CO2 that is put into the air. NOTHING! But, it gets them more votes. Our country will be the only negatively affected country, it is merely a way to re-distribute wealth.
Well, I for one will try my best to avoid any company that is taking advantage of this scam to get money from lesser minded people. Except Google. I know they have pledged to be carbon neutral by 2008 but I just find everything they have so useful! Oh well.http://blog.upperweather.com
