Global warming crowd goes loony for Valentines Day
I grew up in Oregon and got plenty of environmental indoctrination in high school. I believe we need to do our part to protect the environment. I believe in recycling. I think deforestation is a bad thing. I’m concerned about pollution.
But the global warming rhetoric has reached an absurd level.
Environmentalist are now taking aim at Valentines Day claiming that:
“…’flower miles’ could have serious implications on climate change in terms of carbon dioxide emissions from aeroplanes.”
I thought that was loony until I read this article from Ellen Goodman of the Boston Globe:
“I would like to say we’re at a point where global warming is impossible to deny. Let’s just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers, though one denies the past and the other denies the present and future.”
I am speechless.
Yeah, let’s all do our part to cool down the earth by .04 degrees Celsius over the next hundred years!
There are issues far more worth of our time, and far more based on reality than global warming currently is.

They speak of being good stewards, not wasting what we’ve been given, not polluting — exactly the case you’re making. But we hear far more frequently the importance of being good neighbors, being honest, avoiding pornography, and a variety of other Christian attributes we should develop.

That was said tongue in cheek, but it reaffirms to me the blessing of trees as renewable resources. You’d think that with all the newspaper printed in the last two hundred years we’d not have a tree in sight. And yet there they are…
