Why the global-warming movement may cool off - Paul Mulshine

I noted in a prior post that President Obama might actually be better off if the Republicans in the Senate manage to kill his cap-and-trade bill aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions and (theoretically) helping to prevent global warming.

The problem for the global-warming crowd is simple: What if the planet begins to cool?

This is a distinct possibility due to the lack of sunspot activity at the moment.

The point is that with cap-and-trade, the Obama Administration, the Democrat-controlled Congress, and the United Nations is attempting to shove an oppressive tax increase down the throats of Americans, forcing us to give up our choices, based upon a pack of lies concerning human impact on the climate.

The real danger with global warming will be the tipping point, he said. As polar ice caps melt, the thaws could expose microbes, which would release carbon dioxide in quantities that would outstrip any reductions humans could make in their carbon-dioxide emissions.

"For the first time in human history, science has shown that we are altering the destiny of our planet. At no other time in the history of science have we been able to say what the future will be 100 years from now.

"It's quite alarming. Every year looks more alarming. … An irony of climate change is that the ones who will be hurt the most are the innocent -- those yet to be born," he said.
