My initial point, of inconsistencies, ended up becoming a rant on a different issue. :)One Alberta Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406240007172639671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13680527.post-10133293983933461982007-10-14T00:58:00.000-06:002007-10-14T00:58:00.000-06:00My last comment wasn't exactly on-topic. You were ...My last comment wasn't exactly on-topic. You were saying that the articles you read were contradictory and unbalanced, and I went off in another direction.<BR/><BR/>I think I have a pet peeve going because it seems to me that a lot of people are thinking that since there is controversy over who is to blame for global warming, then they're not going to do anything until the argument is resolved. The argument may NEVER be resolved, but I still think we need to a)be prepared, and b)learn how to live more lightly on the earth.<BR/><BR/>Okay, I'll stop using YOUR blog for MY venting.

I have ...Hi, Daisy.<BR/><BR/>You hit on one of my pet topics. I have gone round and round in my head over this stuff, and I've come to the conclusion that it really doesn't matter WHY the earth is getting warmer, we'd just better be prepared.<BR/><BR/>As far as reducing our carbon footprint, that is also extremely important, but not so much because of global warming, rather because of the enormous environmental damage and pollution that our addiction to cheap oil and cheap energy is costing, and the incredible unfairness of it globally. <BR/><BR/>Another compelling reason to figure out how to reduce your reliance on cheap energy is the issue of peak oil. People are burning up the internet talking about whether peak oil has already happened, is happening now, or will soon happen. Peak oil doesn't mean that we run out of oil, it just means that the supply is peaking and heading downhill. With world demand for oil continually RISING, that means the price of it, and therefore the price of everything is going to get very high.<BR/><BR/>So, let the scientists fight out the details. I'm spending my energy figuring out how to be prepared for warmer temperatures and crazy inflation.Correnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337679065167216222noreply@blogger.com
