The Real Story: Global Warming

Updated September 21, 2006

Today, Richard Branson -- sorry, SIR Richard Branson, of Virign Air and, of course, failed-hot-air-balloon-ride fame, announced that he's committing $3 billion dollars to fighting global warming over the next TEN years.

Thank You! Finally, someone who isn't a hypocrite; someone who's putting their own money towards trying to solve a problem they're contributing to! But the Real Story -- and I hate to say it -- is that Sir Richard -- you're wasting your money.

Please, hear me out on this because I know a lot of you are probably watching this thinking that I'm just some Big Oil, Big SUV, kill-all-the-polar-bears-conservative-hatemonger. But only part of that is actually true. See, I DO believe that global warming exists. Did you hear that? GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL!

My issues are whether we're the ones causing it and, even if we are, what can we realistically do about it?

You know why that probably sounds controversial? It's because all the scientists who are out there saying, "hold-on, wait a second" when it comes to this stuff never get their voice heard. It's the other side, the fear-mongering side, that gets the media attention and keeps the grant money flowing.

For example, Bill Gray, a respected scientist from Colorado State University, recently said that warming is due to natural changes in ocean circulation patterns and that, even if he's wrong, there's nothing humans can do to stop it. Unfortunately, the best he could do for a media platform --until now-- was a speech at the Larimer Country Republican Club Breakfast in front of about 50 people.

Even the Montreal Protocol, which is the so-called "gold standard" that environmentalists point to as the most effective thing ever done to combat global warming, has plenty of dissenters that aren't being heard. 17 years ago, when the treaty was first signed, countries like Switzerland began sounding alarm bells-- but no one wanted to listen. And that's too bad, because Switzerland's concerns that the treaty would actually cause more greenhouse gases, have proven to be true. In fact, two to three times more greenhouse gas has been created by the Montreal Protocol than the total amount of CO2 that the NEW "landmark" treaty, the Kyoto Protocol, is supposed to eradicate! Let me say that again: the most effective treaty ever signed has done MORE HARM THAN GOOD!

This world has real problems that CAN be cured with money and time and devoted scientists...things like AIDS, cancer, malaria, and so much more. If you want to leave this world a better place, spend your money on those problems, not one that you just might end up making worse.
