You may have seen those little commercials where poor polar bears, may soon become extinct due to lack of land, due to global warming (hey, they cant swim forever.) Well, you may also have heard or even seen, Al Gore’s documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” where he talks about today’s innovations ruining the ozone layer. Many people been taking his THEORY for granted and worshipping it as if it is the truth. PLEASE note that I capitalized THEORY. A THEORY is an educated guess to a hypothesis, it is NOT PROVEN. The reason I am saying this is because approximately 31,000 scientists (including more than 9,000 PhD’s in fields such as atmospheric science, Earth science, climatology, environmental science and everything in between) have denied Mr. Gore’s theory. Here is a quote from their [the scientists] report. “There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate,” the report states. “Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.”  There you have it, I believe that just because someone has the credentials (in Gore’s case, lots of money, former vice president, and one of Time magazine’s most influential people) really doesn’t cut it. If we let famous or powerful people stand in the way and make “false assumptions” in order to gain money, popularity, and the occasional Nobel Peace Prize, then we may never know the truth as to why things happen. So, in my opinion, we need to cut Al Gore out of the picture, and work with REAL scientists before Al Gore proposes that computers are alive and will attack you.  As always if you have any questions or comments pertaining to this, or any of the other blogs that I have, please feel free to type it up.
