So...that must mean that glaciologists working in Greenland are conspiring with oceanographers working in the Indian Ocean, and biochemists studying carbon isotopes in labs in California are calling up geologists studying volcanoes in Indonesia, even if they might all be from different countries or speak different languages. And someone says, "Hey, let's scam all the people in the world, including government leaders and the CEOs of mega-businesses. Let's make everyone believe in this big hoax called global warming. And let's get every scientist in the world in on it. It should be fun, and profitable too. And every scientist will buy into it, and none of them will worry about their careers or their professional reputations." So then all those scientists start turning in data that validates a warming climate, but it's all fake.
Um...yeah, right.
Now THAT would be so stupendously implausible that it's beyond imagining.
So what if the poeple you speak of had no impending global catastrophy to study? Nothing to research means no funding. No papers to publish, no books to write.
Is the planet warming? Yep..Is mankind to blame? There are those in the scientific community that say no.But you dont hear much from them. They tend to get "shouted down" by those who do the reasearch, publish the papers and write the books. The media is not likely to spend money on a program that presnts an oposing view. Who would watch it? The public is much more interested in listening to prophets of doom.And how the evil humans are reponsible. Besides all tose yuppies need somthing to feel guilty about dont they? And where would the activists be without a cause to jump on.
Me..I'm far more worried about continental drift. Did you know that the pacific plate is moving north? And there is nothing we can do to stop it? Someday LA will be a suburb of SF...can you imagine waht the Earth will be like when that happens? We are talking Sodom meets Gahmorra here. My god I'm glad I wont live to see that day. Bet its all those cars on the la freeway causing it.
And the Ideal temp is one you can ride your bike in.
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
