Re: Man Made Global COOLING?!
When it comes to where and how we live, I believe it's our responsibility to leave this earth with it being a bit better then when we got here. It's a pretty tough goal considering the increase in population and it's consumption of goods.
The part that makes one want to give up is when we, the public, is under constant bombardment to make us aware of "carbon footprint". Then I see a government, or an individual in the government who's doing the preaching and regulating, that violates all the principles that get thrown at the population.
Here's an example. I live a couple of miles from a small town of 5,000. A few years ago their sewer treatment plant apparently had some mechanical problem. The city didn't have the funds to get it repaired, I'm told, so they hauled the sewage to a field and dumped it. The area is a flood plain. It was left on the surface.
This is right across the road from where we live. This went on for about 3 days from 7AM to about 7PM, with a load every 20 minutes. On the 4th day I took some pictures. Even followed them with the Ranger taking pictures of them dumping. Went to the city manager, and after a long wait (I'm sure they though I give up waiting and go home) the discussion with him was, "It's not sewage, it's sludge." His contention was it's legal and not causing any environmental problem.
I could go on, but this kind of "crap" is what makes all those barking to clean up something loose all their bite!
Oh, I did tell the city manager to have a cook out at his house and invite all his friend, but have the city dump a few loads of his so called "sludge" to the south west of his house the day of the party. Then ask his friends what they smell, and see if any of them say "sludge"!
