Martin Capdevila on Global Warming

Global Warming is not a fact, it is a fad, a religion of sorts, if you will, because our intellectual society has grown tired of religion and is in need of something else to believe in. We chose our planet. It’s really not a bad idea, considering the fact that we live and breathe our own filth, and wanting the air to be cleaner is a legitimate desire. However, when we dismiss those who don’t agree with us because of such sacrilege we are again discriminating and censoring voices that should be heard. Why?

Think about how many jobs depend on Global Warming being a reality. It has been called the “defining moral and political cause of our age” but concerts like Live Earth invite people en masse to a stadium where energy is pumped out in decibels and garbage is strewn about—including those “forever-in-a-landfill” waterbottles. It actually takes about 450 years for them to decompose by the way. If you believe Global Warming is the biggest threat to our world, you are sadly mistaken. The last 8 years have seen an explosion in environmental literature, advocacy groups and an overall worldwide cult following behind grossly skewed and exaggerated facts that add up to nothing more than an ideology, or religion. There is little more factual correlation to reality in Global Warming theory than there is in the Bible or the Qur’an. Any outspoken opposition to these beliefs are taken personally and offensively, much like in religion. However, the intent and meaning behind the idea is much the same as any faith system—to inspire moral action. Before that, some facts.
