If I were Al Gore, I would go around looking shame-faced for all the angst and expense he has cost the world by trying to champion a cause that was unreal. He is not a scientist, and judging by what he has bought into, I believe he is self-serving and dishonest or at least, terribly deceived.
I was born and grew up in North Alabama. In 1925, eleven years before I was born, North Alabama recorded its hottest temperature on record of 112 degrees. The winter of 1936 was very cold there, breaking all known records. A very hot summer followed in the south.
The highest temperature recorded in northern Arkansas was 114 degrees. It hasn't been that hot since.
We had two blizzards in the last 20 years in the Tennessee area that I am personally acquainted with, dumping large amounts of snow, in some areas we had over five feet. Could we call that Global cooling???
When I was in high school in the 1950s, scientists were warning that the earth was cooling off and in a few million years it would be frozen over. What did we do to switch it to warming? Maybe we could just reset the thermostat, but again, someone else would just come back and set it where they thought it should be.
Let me say this. I believe in recycling, conserving, reducing polution and otherwise being good stewards of God's earth, but we're just going to have to leave the climate up to Him. He's the only one big enough to handle the job.
If you want to see how helpless we are to control the weather on the earth, try watering your part of the earth to keep the water table up and you'll find that it's an impossible task, but God can do it and keep it done.
The rainfall over the earth is about the same every year. It is just distributed differently each year. We can't refreeze the polar regions! What an insane thought. Climate changes are natural and part of the balance of nature. Give it a few years and it will self-regulate. If we try to change it, we just might make it worse.
This is all my opinion, everybody has one.
