Totally agree with you.

I would actually call it “Global weather changing” more than global warming since what we see is an increase of extreme phenomena.

The recession is not just about heating and electricity…its about millions of people NOT buying junk they dont need – tons of plastic toys and stuff from Chinese factories, cheap baggage, purses, plastic household items that get thrown out after a year of use..less needless trips to the mall to buy more clothes and crud to stuff in closets and storage rooms. Disposable, one use plastic floss and toothbrushes, plastic water bottles, bags, endless useless hair care products in endless plastic bottles. Mix all that waste and use with a growing population that is ignorant on what this doing to the oceans and we have a disaster approaching, and it does not matter if climate change is happening or not naturally, or due to man. I see it as a seperate crisis all its own.

If society was more conscienscious of that, the heating and industrial use of fossil fuels might not be so bad, the Earth is very capable of absorbing and recycling our waste and can provide society with abundance – if better cared for. I think people focus on big energy, trucks, Hummers, power, heating, etc and forget about the huge impact on fossil fuel wastes and pollution from…..the hoarding of junk, endless strip malls and Wal-Marts, factory farms, fast food, etc and that our economy is based on a constant buying and using and buying more junk.

The legislators in Canada finally came out of their coma [maybe due to the ever increasingly frigid winters there] and dumped the AGW ‘tax the poor to make the rich richer’ carbon taxes, and restrictions on people keeping warm in the winter.

This winter is going to be another doozy, and just maybe the shivering folks will finally understand that the Earth’s weather is cyclical, and we are entering a cooling period that may push us into another Younger Dryas event, or, if we have some major volcanic eruptions, a full-blown Ice Age.

Warmer weather has always been beneficial to people, plants and other animals, while cold spells have been disasterous. Just consider the recent ‘Little Ice Age’ which caused dramatic changes in demographics throughout the world.

Of course, historical and scientific facts have never prevented the myopic elitists from pushing their self-serving agenda. At least now they are getting the appropriate ‘cold shoulder’ from the population.
