Brrrr…that’s global warming

“There is very important climatic change going on right now, and it’s not merely something of academic interest. It is something that, if it continues, will affect the whole human occupation of the earth – like a billion people starving. The effects are already showing up in a rather drastic way.”

That’s Fortune, pointedly warning us about what is to come.  (Only that was written in 1974, and the warning concerned an imminent ice age.)  Read Gerald Warner’s excellent blog post, including such “inconvenient truths” as the fact that global temperatures have been declining for a decade, here.

For an excellent list of ten climate truths to “keep (you) sane” in 2009, check out The Heartland Institute here.

Planet Gore, where I found both of the above, remains excellent reading as well.

I figure that with a Democrat in the White House, global warming will go away anyway—like homelessness did during the Clinton administration.

Good thing, as I have, as of this writing, spent approximately 100% of the time and energy that I’m ever going to in my entire life worrying about my carbon footprint.

I think I’ll drive the truck tomorrow.

  1. I remember the looming ice age hysteria when I was a kid (I would have been around 11). I remember it being in other magazines, since I did not exactly read Fortune.

    My father-in-law had The Climate Confusion at his house when we were visiting. I meant to steal it, but forgot. It was interesting reading.
