Blame nature for changes

Published: Friday, April 7 2006 12:00 a.m. MDT

You would think from all the "hype-tripe" about global warming that the the end of the world is upon us now — unless man curbs so-called greenhouse gas emissions. Everyone on the "man is the sole source of global warming" debate has completely ignored the primary source of climate change: the sun.

Considering the climate of fear being fostered and the ridiculous notion that man can control the outcome in any meaningful way, let's write our congressmen and insist they pass a law restricting the radiant energy of the sun.

Of course, admitting that nature has always been the main driver behind climate change, well, what's the fun in that? There are juicy contributions to be had by scaring the Hades out of the public and getting them to fund environmental research into global warming, when the simple answer is "nature."
