The
CNO “Inbox”
The
Global Warming “Epidemic”
Notes by Bob Robinson
As
I have often noted, I get a lot of stuff
sent to me via email (as I’m sure you do). Some of it I keep, some of
it I
dump… even if I find it interesting or worth a grin or two.
I’m
not sure I’ve seen this one before (sent by
a CNO reader), but I’ve often seen news reports and opinion pieces
saying
basically the same thing… however, keep in mind that the specifics
below have
NOT been verified. They are presented to you in CNO blog format for
your
enjoyment (or otherwise)…
Feel
free to do your own research. If you do,
drop us a line and let us know what you find out. BR
“Okay,
here's the bombshell. The volcanic eruption in Iceland, since its first
spewing of volcanic ash, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT
you
have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet
- all
of you.
“Of course you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying
to
suppress - it’s that vital chemical compound that every plant requires
to live
and grow and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans and all animal
life.
“I know, it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon
emission
savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and
expense of:
driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up till
midnight to
finish your kid's "The Green Revolution" science project, throwing
out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of
toilet
paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV
and
speedboat, vacationing at home instead of abroad, nearly getting hit
every day
on your bicycle, replacing all of your 50 cents light bulbs with $10.00
light
bulbs... well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the
tubes
in just four days.
“The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in just four days
- yes -
FOUR DAYS ONLY by that volcano in Iceland, has totally erased every
single
effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And there are
around 200
active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud at any one time -
EVERY
DAY.
“I don't really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should
mention that
when the volcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it
spewed out
more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race
had
emitted in all its years on earth. Yes folks, Mt Pinatubo was active
for over
one year - think about it.
“Of course I shouldn't spoil this touchy-feely tree-hugging moment and
mention
the effect of solar and cosmic activity and the well-recognized
800-year global
heating and cooling cycle, which keeps happening, despite our
completely
insignificant efforts to affect climate change.
“And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud but the
fact of
the matter is that the bush fire season across the western USA and
Australia
this year alone will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world
for the
next two to three years. And it happens every year.
“Just remember that your government just tried to impose a whopping
carbon tax
on you on the basis of the bogus “human-caused” climate change scenario.
“Hey, isn’t it interesting how they don’t mention “Global Warming” any
more,
but just “Climate Change” - you know why? It’s because the planet
has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century and
these global
warming bull artists got caught with their pants down.
“And just keep in mind that you might yet have an Emissions Trading
Scheme - that
whopping new tax - imposed on you, that will achieve absolutely nothing
except
make you poorer. It won’t stop any volcanoes from erupting or
lightening caused
forest fires, that’s for sure.
“But hey, relax, give the world a hug and have a nice day!”
