First let me respond that I believe we must be good stewards of the earth. I believe we all share the responsibility of preventing and reducing all forms of polution. Whether it is to the land, water, air etc. However,and I must confess I am no expert but I cannot believe that man is the cause of Global Warming. We are kidding ourselves to think we have this ability. I do not believe we are capable of such a feat. How do we explain the warming and cooling trends prior to our existence? For every scientist that says we are the cause there is another scientist that says just the opposite. From what I have read,the science of Global Warming is nothing more than a constant cry of wolf to maintain a flow of money or an hidden more sinister agenda of reducing commerce. Most “Evidence” is nothing more than theories that pardon the pun, “Do not hold hot water” . This very idea has diverted our attention and monies at a time we can least afford it. When our politicians speak out against Global Warming, this only convinces me more that it is wrong.
