There are differing opinions on whether global warming (now called climate change as there have been scientific observations of global cooling) exists or doesn’t.  And if it does exist, what’s mankind’s part in making it worse.  I have contended from the earliest days of conversation on the topic that the earth goes thru cyclical changes and these changes don’t occur over the span of a few years.  The changes occur over hundreds and/or thousands of years.  There were two articles on Saturday on the topic.  One is about how Congress is considering far-reaching legislation that would ultimately increase everyone’s spending on energy as Congress is contemplating putting huge taxes and fees on energy companies.  Of course, these fees will be passed on to the consumer, You!  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/04/18/congress-considers-far-reaching-global-warming/

On the same day that that article came out, a second article was available on the same website that claims that the Antartic ice shelf is actually expanding.  Yes, getting bigger!  Because it’s colder!  http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,517035,00.html 

This is the next cash cow.  Everyone jump on board if you can stomach it.  I, personally, would have a hard time making money off of a lie.  I’m just funny that way I guess.  I don’t believe in fleecing anyone.  But Al Gore doesn’t have a conscious.  He has made over $100M on scaring people into thinking that global warming exists.  He owns huge stakes in companies that sell carbon credits.  Feel bad about all the emissions from your plane trip to see family over spring break?  No problem.  Buy carbon credits from one of fat Al’s companies and they’ll plant a tree for you so you can feel like you’re “carbon neutral”.

I’m telling you.  If you can get right with it, there’s alot of money to be made here.
