OK, so this isn't exactly real estate or title-related.  Humor me.  Today, I was reading this blog on the science website dailytech.com that confirmed what I've suspected all along: that solar activity has more to do with global climate change than human activity.  It just doesn't make sense--on one hand, we're told, in the grand scheme of things, that man is insignificant, nothing but the tiniest piece of flotsam on the ocean of the cosmos.  Yet, at the same time, human arrogance allows us to think that we are powerful enough to wreck the earth's climate.  We've been hearing for years that we're spewing so much CO2 into the atmosphere that we're going to cook ourselves to death because of global warming.  Now, comes the news that there's more evidence of global cooling than global warming.

I believe that the underlying purpose of the global warming hysteria is to restrain economic freedom by limiting activities that produce carbon emissions, which encompasses just about everything we humans do as we go about our daily lives.  Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant; the earth actually gets greener in the presence of increased CO2, and in fact, we have more trees now than we did when the country was founded over 200 years ago.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't practice good stewardship, but I certainly don't believe that fossil fuels are destroying the world.  I, for one, am proud to live in one of the only industrialized nations on earth that generates enough wealth to clean up after itself.
