Global Warming – True or False
April 1st, 2015
Thank you Christy Rose for the suggestion.
I thought global warming was cut and dry; a fact without dispute. It’s not. 5 Scientific Reasons That Global Warming Isn’t Happening denies the we are experiencing any abnormal climate change.
I’m finding it really boils down to who’s numbers you want to believe. There is an extreme discrepancy. In the article No Global Warming In 17 years it is claimed that the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere is 390 parts per million; up from 370 ppm. It doesn’t give a time period for the increase. How We Know Global Warming is Real and Human Caused reports that the carbon dioxide has never exceeded 300 ppm in any previous interglacial period ( a warmer period that separates glacial periods ). The interglacial that we currently exist in is called the Holocene and has lasted for 11,700 years. eSkeptic does say we are close to 400 ppm today so 390 ppm does seem to be in the ballpark but still desperate. There is also discrepancies about the polar icecaps. The climate change deniers says Arctic ice is up 50% since 2012 while those who believe in global warming claim the icecaps are melting and breaking up at an alarming rate.
So why is there so much difference in the claims of the the pro global warming and con global warming sides (deniers)? Both have motive to skew their numbers. The deniers are obviously supported by the industries that use fossil fuels. We all know that’s big money. It is in the interest of pro global warming groups to tip their numbers to gain mass appeal and money to fund studies and solutions. The deniers report that 31,000 scientist have signed a petition stating that humans are not the cause of warming trends. That’s only 3% of 12,000,000 scientist that say humans are are responsible for abnormal climate change.
I’m going to get off the fence with this one and state that automobiles and industry have made enough of a sweeping change that it would be not only be noticeable but extremely adverse. More and more people have driven cars every year for 129 years. The internal combustion engine produces 18.07 lbs of carbon dioxide for every gallon of gas burned. That’s 325.26 lbs per 18 gallon tank and 7,806.24 lbs carbon dioxide (For every car in the world) per year at two tanks a month. These facts alone are enough to convince me that humans have astronomically changed the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere without even considering other man made factors like factories, deforestation, the increase of methane producing livestock, and landfills. It seems to me that man has left his finger prints at scene of every environmental crime. Why would this be any different.
It’s easy to pass blame onto 31,000 scientist for signing a petition that maybe half of them knew was wrong. But, if you were a scientist graveling and scraping for grant money, and someone said “You’ll never gravel for grant money again, I’m giving 40 million dollars. You’d be temped; especially if you had nowhere else to go in science because you said smoking tobacco doesn’t cause cancer. The problem is that these scientist are a chalk block on a car wheel. Tons of momentum held back by a tiny wedge. I’m a Complete Christian and I think these scientist are in the role of the scholar Judas Iscariot. Only it’s the world that’s being sacrificed or murdered. It’s not dead yet and there time for correction.
Like the end of last week’s blog it’s good to remember “where one thing is balanced to another a sweeping change will have ripples and they must have containment or breakers or both”. Our ripples are becoming tidal waves.

As we take our baby steps into the Space Age there may be some that believe that we can just leave the Earth behind and find new digs. The Universe wants balance and God demands accountability. We aren’t going to be able to go planet to plant destroying one after another. What do our neighbors think of us? We must have neighbors (Do Aliens Exist). When determining “what makes a human their best”, the first thing that needs to be considered is “What is a human?” The very next thing to consider is “What’s the human’s best environment.” Occupational Parenting puts an immediate focus on our environment and promotes other energy consumption and conversion ideas beyond fossil fuels. It also creates jobs for those in the fossil fuel industry. Give Occupational Parenting and our future a chance. Until next time, keep your homes well.
