Basically, all the so-called scientists are using the same historical data to
reach their conclusions. That is, each side of the issue draws their own
conclusions based on the same history.
There is no sound basis for advancing the theory that by removing all fossil
fuel use throughout the U.S., and giving exceptions to the third world countries
who are the worst of all, will do anything at all to clear the air. This is
what the Kyoto treaty would have done. No one has made a logical case for
taxing Americans and giving the money to third world countries would do anything
to reduce or ameliorate atmospheric contaminants.
There is sound basis for concluding that atmospheric pollution has its root
source in volcanic activity over which man has no control.
Using the historical data from which the so-called scientists draw their models,
there are indications of cycles of warming and cooling going on as far back as
can be measured. Periods of drought and rainfall cycles are likewise recorded
throughout history. No one has shown thus far, that any of the current
conditions indicate a cycle anywhere deeper than what has been recorded before,
although all of the cycles have been connected to historical records of volcanic
activity and the tons of matter and particles emitted into the atmosphere.
As for critical thinking, I believe there is plenty of critical thinking,
especially that which criticizes radicals who tend to believe "just because."
Finally, no matter what, it is still really cold in New England!, from the
perspective of a Texan.
Of course, as an independent thinker, your mileage may vary.
