So I was clicking around WordPress.com looking for interesting articles and I came across this article on global warming . .

I felt compelled to respond and in doing so thought I’d share my thoughts with you, my favorite reader.

I posted this response to the article:
I think I heard a comedian say once, “I’m not a tree hugger . . .but I am an air breather”. I’m a conservative that believes the less crap we put in the atmosphere the better but I’m unwilling to hamstring our economy because a very vocal minority says we must take “immediate/drastic action to avert a looming catastrophe”.

Remember it is IMPOSSIBLE to prove that something doesn’t exist. I can no more disprove your assertion that burning fossil fuels has created a rise in average global temperatures than you can disprove the theory that any changes in average global temperature are part of the natural heating and cooling that the Earth has undergone for the last 4.5 billion years.

So if we are at a stalemate then we must look for some common ground, otherwise we are just going to continue talking past each other and NOTHING will get done.

BUT if we made the leap that maybe we are both partially right we might try to understand that the effect man has had is not as severe OR as disastrous that some on the left are claiming and MAYBE more gradual (but important) changes can be made to reduce the fractional impact we do have.

If the left continues the “Al Gore” chicken little routine they will cede the argument to the right.
