Still In Denial

A little while ago I did a post regarding the Global Warming alarmist crowd (flat earthers as Mark Levin calls them) and how they are denying the science that now shows that the Earth is now cooling once again, instead of warming up, as they keep telling us. That is to say that if you actually look at the data it's impossible to deny, but they deny that it really means that Global Warming is a farce, they say that it means that Global Warming is on hold, or some other such non-sense.

Anyway, at least the (flat Earth) scientists who refuse to admit that the cooling proves that our temperature is in a natural cycle, do, at least admit that the data shows a cooling trend. The mainstream media and politicians on the other hand, refuse to even do that much. They keep talking about Global Warming and how much warmer the Earth is, and how ongoing Global Warming is still such a huge problem. It might be funny if it weren't so stupid and outrageous.

It's really not unexpected that Democrats and other liberals would refuse to see the truth for what it is, after all, liberalism, as I've explained before, has nothing to do with reality at all, it's all about the ideology, not the facts. What is disgusting is the number of Republicans that have bought into all this non-sense. And, of course, John McCain is one of the ones who has fallen the hardest for the whole deal.

It is nice to see, though, that McCain has now come out and agreed that we need to start drilling for Oil here in the US, since people just can't afford for the gas prices to keep going up, and the only thing that will put a stop to this outrageous skyrocketing of prices is increased supply. I find it funny the number of people who say that drilling for oil and building new refineries won't be a quick fix, since drilling where we know there is oil could take between 5 and 10 years to get the "new" oil to market, then you ask what they want to do, and of course, they want to explore alternative energy options. Of course, it will take, very likely 25 years or more to bring a new source of energy online, even if it were proven and ready to get started today... so maybe we need to work on getting some more oil in the mean time.

Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against coming up with new sources of energy, in fact, I think it's a great idea, but we are not to the point where we can stop using oil on a very large scale. I do believe that if the Government will get out of the way of private industry, and give them a little freedom, we could end up with something that will allow us to reduce our oil usage to minimal levels. We'll never be off of oil entirely, it's in too many products, but as long as we get to the point where we aren't burning it in our cars and power plants, it would go a long way.

I need people to get off of their ideological bandwagons and start dealing with reality as it presents itself.
