Green
critic John McCormick claims the green movement has turned
into a jihad
"If reducing CO2 output is the name of the game --
and let's remember that no-one has proved that man-made
CO2 has anything to do with the earth's natural warming
trend ....," John McCormick states as he attacks the
green movement's jihad against fuel inefficiency in
today's DetroitNews.
Tell us what you really think, John!
For a moment, let's ignore the fact that hordes of
respectable scientists, including many working at NASA,
for example, have demonstrated extremely strong
correlations between man, CO2 and global warming using
every kind of model imaginable, including from data
measuring hundreds of thousands of years of ice core data.
Let's not focus on the science right now.
In fact, I'll even back John.
Science has not proven beyond all doubt that man
is causing global warming. Solar radiation, for example,
could still be a confounding variable. Thus far, science
has only proven that MOST of the data suggests
man is responsible for, minimally, some global warming.
However, science has, without any doubt, demonstrated that
man should take global warming, regardless of the cause,
very seriously. Something John, it seems, would rather
just ignore in favor of a Ferrari.
As long is there is at least a 1 percent chance - which
there almost always is in science - that man isn't causing
global warming, I'm sure John will passionately continue
his jihad against the green zealots - and many of them are
zealots. Many of them, such as Al Gore, have created as
many enemies as believers with their pompous hypocrisy, to
which John rightly alludes.
Nonetheless, the real point is that global warming doesn't
matter today when it comes to fuel economy, but not for
the reasons John thinks.
Achieving significantly improved fuel economy in America
is, or at least it should be, the most important issue
facing America - not because of global warming, but
because of National Security.
Please, John, convince me that foreign oil dependency
isn't a threat to national security!
Coincidently, fighting foreign oil dependency just also
happens to be one of the best ways to fight global
warming, which is a nice bonus considering that scientists
haven't proven that man IS NOT causing global warming.
Global warming critics CANNOT explain away the strong,
scientifically-verifiable correlation between man, CO2 and
global warming, demonstrated by model after model after
model, using science.
So, why not kill two birds with one foreign-oil dependency
ending stone? What's the harm, John?
The fact that critics, such as John, perpetually focus on
the 'green jihad', rather than foreign oil dependency, as
their favored reason to attack any approach aimed at
increasing fuel economy is laughable and nothing short of
pure lunacy.
If you want to give your money to Bin Laden to attack the
commie, green bastards of America, John, just send him a
check directly. Have some cajones and stand up for what
you believe, but please stop hiding behind the green
jihadists.
