Well, we are constantly being told by global warming alarmists that mankind's output of CO2 is causing ambient atmospheric temperatures to rise on the surface of our planet causing irreversible and irreconcilable challenges of a future climate cliff. Whereas AGW theory, and it is a theory, sounds at least remotely plausible it turns out that there is quite a bit of data to the contrary and I'd like to give you just one example if I might.
There was a recent study put out which showed that US carbon emissions output is the lowest in over 20 years. Alternative Energy need not take a victory lap, nor should the global warming alarmist carbon trading folks take credit for this because if there is less CO2 it is because we are using less coal to generate electricity as we are using more natural gas because it is cheaper. Natural gas also puts out far less greenhouse emissions. Why do we have so much natural gas and why is it cheaper you ask?
Well, it is cheaper because of supply and demand, and the supply has grown astronomically due to new fracking techniques which is an innovation which happened in the fossil fuel industry. It was not funded by the Department of Energy, nor did it have anything whatsoever to do with the global warming alarmists, or the environmentalists. It was a solution which was achieved by free-market capitalism without any intervention from the government. In fact the government did everything it could to prevent unlocking this huge resource of natural gas.
In other words everything that the government has done to try to solve the global warming problem, which really isn't a problem at all because a 1 to 2 degree Fahrenheit increase in the ambient temperature is well within the normal climate cycles of planet Earth, if not within the probability of error (margin of error) in the actual readings over the last 150 years. We've spent an ungodly amount of money propping up alternative energy to no avail.
The reason there is less CO2 in the atmosphere is due to our switch to natural gas, not due to more solar panels or wind farms, as they couldn't possibly have had that large of an effect because they only produce about 1 to 2% of our total energy usage in the United States. Maybe it's time that we got a real energy policy based on real science and not fabricated data from global warming alarmists, most of which started out of Europe and the co-conspirators would love to see our US industrial base move to their shores. It's time to stop playing games and pretending, it is time to make policy based on the reality.
This is something that free-market capitalism is very good at as we've been able to solve almost every problem from feeding starving Africans to creating the greatest nation on earth with the most abundance. Maybe it's time we tell the environmental socialists; "thank you very much for your time, but you're no longer needed in our policymaking decisions." Please consider all this and think on it.
