The global warming warriors tell us that we are hotter than ever and that CO2 is rising to unprecedented levels. This is only true if you pick a convienant time frame. Over the long history of the Earth, CO2 is actually at extremely low levels and the temperature is low. If the globe is warming, it is because the Earth is returning to a more natural state.

Millions of years ago, vegetation was far more robust than today. The growth was facilitated by higher levels of CO2, an essential component of photosynthesis. Like the layers of sedimentary rock, plant life piled up on the ground and eventually was covered over.  With time and pressure, the trapped carbon waste turned to oil and coal.

Should we spend billions of dollars to sequester CO2 that we are releasing back to the atmosphere? CO2 was once naturally sequestered during a time of robust vegetation and life. Releasing that CO2 back into the atmosphere may be useful in helping to feed a growing world population.

Change is a funny thing. Liberals believe that a change in politics is a necessarily good thing (at least when they are out of power) and change in the enviornment is necessarily a bad thing (especially if they can seize power by spreading fear). Change is nuetral. It is neither good nor bad. People that claims to understand nuance can’t even seem to grasp this simple fact.
