Ah, the Internet. The cause of so much joy and frustration.
So I'm distracted at work during lunch and checking out the RSS feeds and lo and behold I notice an article about a global warming detection satellite's launch failure. (It's kind of dry but you can read it here.) Now, it's really been cold here in the northeast this winter so I haven't really been thinking about global warming but I noticed a little irony in the failed satellite launch and I have a confession...
...I don't believe in global warming. And not because it's cold outside.
Before you rush to any judgments, curse me out or roll your eyes (yes you Ivan), please know that I am a very active recycler, a proponent (though complaining-user) of mass transportation, staunch supporter of the development and deployment of commercially viable renewable energy initiatives, and overall proponent of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and generally quite green with regards to ending our dependence on fossil fuels.
That said, I still don't believe in global warming. If you're inclined to side with me or educate yourself about the possibility that it's a massive fraud you can get a little primer courtesy of the Canadian Free Press right here. Please don't misconstrue me. I am not an advocate of greenhouse gasses and I'd like to reduce carbon emissions. I just think its a scam.
I'm not smart enough to understand the whole carbon-credit thing, but I have more than an inkling they are similar to CDOs and the other exotic derivatives that have contributed to our general sorry state of financial affairs. What I don't find at all surprising (or relatively unreported) is that Al Gore seems to be very well positioned to benefit from the sale of carbon offsets. He founded Generation Investment Management two years prior to to the release of An Inconvenient Truth. How convenient.
Who could ever imagine a politician pushing an agenda for personal gain? With the mainstream media in cahoots as well? I'm shocked.
Stay tuned and be cool.
