He’s baaack!

May 9, 2014

Devoted readers will have noticed the dearth of postings over the past months while I sojourned in southern waters contemplating the idyllic life of manatees frolicking in a lagoon of the Indian River.

Fortunately for serious thinkers and writers the silliness and downward slide of our once-great country continues and it’s time to catch up. So many things need attention that I am posting herein a listing (in alphabetical order) and will deal with each topic in subsequent posts. First up is:

CLIMATE CHANGE HYSTERIA.

I agree that the world’s climate is changing – and it has been continuously changing for millions of years. To claim it is now changing due to man’s actions is the delusional ranting of egocentric non-scientists driven by political aspirations. I’m talking to you, Al Gore – and you, Barack.

I happen to have completed (to my then frustration) numerous courses in past and present geology en route to my B.S. degree in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering at Penn State.

There was a time in the Paleozoic and Cenozoic Periods (12,000 to 25,000 years ago) when Kansas and Oklahoma were submerged undersea. We know this because lungfish, shark and other sea animal fossils are abundant throughout the mid-west. I’m quite confident man did not cause that sea to recede leaving behind fertile plains. Nature was the culprit.

Likewise, our beautiful Rocky Mountains pushed their way skyward only about 12,000 years ago, unaided by man, leaving behind wonderful snow covered slopes where man finally interceded and built wonderful resorts at Vail, Aspen and others.

The ‘Ice Age’ occurred 22,000 years ago and killed all the dinosaurs. Can’t blame that on man either.

Today’s environmentalists, well meaning but flawed thinkers, like to blame man for the minor changes measured year-to-year and extrapolate these to an apocalyptic end. Don’t be fooled it is all politics. Reminds me of Plato fantasizing about Atlantis in 370 BC – the faux continent, not a resort in the Bahamas.

He must have been smoking the same hallucinogenic that our political leaders inhale today.

You are welcome.
