Emotional factor, not facts



The emotional factor, not facts, is what drives the issue. We have studies that look at how the world’s climate is changing but what we do not have a good handle on is how much this emotional (not factual) topic is being used by the government to regulate and by scientists to reap more dollars for continued studies on a topic that have yet to defined.



From the last two letters we have gained some substantive information but it is still lacking all the information. I agree that we don’t see the whole picture of earth’s climate shifts that have occurred over centuries if not millenniums. We see only our recent history and then we think that we know it all.

As for the last writer and his statement that ocean levels have risen 12 inches I found it hard to believe as it would’ve made some cities (Venice) completely unlivable.



Please fact check at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Trends_in_global_average_absolute_sea_level,_1870-2008_(US_EPA).png

Also the assertion that volcanos are not as prevalent as previous centuries I would also like you to fact check something that is not well covered, Underwater volcanoes, which are now just being discovered and watched. Please reference this website http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/press/press_releases/press_release.php?id=1541

The fact is we don’t know what is causing climate change and until we do, running around giving the government more charge over our liberties, in the name of saving planet Earth (which I love as God’s creation),is a very dangerous attitude.


Remember that we as humans produce the deadly carbon dioxide as does the fermentation process of all the alcoholic beverages we enjoy…it’s not just cows.
