An editorial in the SF Gate has lit my fire this morning. In it, the anonymous author asserts that placing our eggs in the CO2 basket will halt climate change on earth. Give me a break. (John Stossel won’t sue me for that will he?)

Global warming can’t be solved by California alone, and mistakes here could set back efforts immeasurably.

Wow…the ego of the warming alarmist is staggering. Global warming can’t be solved by California because it’s not a problem humans can solve (or create). Just because we have recorded temperature fluctuations in the last century (that have also occurred for millions, dare I say, BILLIONS of years) it must be our fault. After all, isn’t everything our fault?

How can it be reasonable to think humans can keep the earth’s climate in a static state. It’s insane, it’s unrealistic, it’s impossible. Humans can’t create thunderstorms, stop tornadoes, relieve droughts, make it snow, change course of cyclones, cause earthquakes, or even predict any of these climatic events with much accuracy. Yet, I’m being told that a cap-and-trade program will save us all. WHAT?!?!? Bureaucracy is the new thermostat? I’m calling BS on that.

For consumers and business the biggest concern may be cost. Nichols, who was put in charge of the climate change issue by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, begged off predicting financial impacts for now.….Among the biggest boosters of the climate-change package are Silicon Valley financiers, who believe the field is ripe for growth.

Ya don’t say. You mean that the financiers who will profit greatly from a cap and trade scheme are in favor of it? Didn’t see that coming. How much has Al Gore made preaching his alarmism? That helps him afford his electric and natural gas bills that continue to climb.

Moving on…

There’s next to no doubt about global warming and its changes to weather, farming, health and habitation.

The author got this point right, but is on the wrong side of the fence. Earth’s climate has ALWAYS changed, and always will, regardless of how powerful the St of CA believes itself to be. The first half of the last century saw a temperature decrease. Many scientists were preaching doom and gloom of another Ice Age. Then there were a few decades of temperature increase…then a decade again of cooling….now predictions that the cooling will last another 20 years. This all happened while CO2 levels continue to rise. At least the plants are loving it.
