Newsmax.com – Global Warming Talk Is All Just Hot Air

For a lot of years when I worked in presidential and congressional elections, we lost. Like most of my colleagues, I joined in the finger pointing, blaming the people in charge for running inept campaigns and suggesting that what had not been done was the reason for the losses.

I'm too old and I hope a lot wiser now to take part in that useless exercise. I'll let those sleeping dogs lie, and try to concentrate on what is really important: what the future holds for all mankind. In that context the only part the new political situation plays is Barack Obama's determination to deal with a threat that does not exist — he wants to further cripple the economy by combating global warming that isn't happening when the real threat is global cooling on a massive scale.

As a result, when our attention should be focused on how we can deal with a real and immediate major shift in the global climate, it is concerned instead with how we should approach what is probably an imaginary threat based on imaginary science. Belief that the planet is fast approaching a conflagration that will deep fry the Earth is a triumph of fiction over fact. To waste our time and treasure combating a ginned-up threat, while at the same time ignoring the real challenge is nothing short of blithering idiocy.
