I don’t know about you, but as I look out my window and see 10 feet of snow I wonder what happened to good old global warming. I guess it skipped over us this year! As you can see from this article  it’s not the first time either.

It seems the discussion about global warming always gets more intense during a political season. I guess that’s good–or it’s at least better than Congress wanting to talk to has -been-athletes about steroids.  I have to admit that I forced myself to go see Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” and what I found was an inconvenient use of facts subject to various interpretations. Call it denial if you will, but most, if not all of the end of the world scenarios I read about relative to global warming are at the extreme edge of scientific believability.

If as a world we want to cut down on global warming and become more environmentally sound we have to make some difficult choices; choices a lot of folks won’t want to make. Here’s a big one! Why not build more nuclear power plants in this country? It’s not because they are unsafe nor is it because they pollute. It’s because we don’t have the political will that the French do (good heavens it hurts me to say that).

So if global warming is in the eye of the beholder, as I behold the 10 feet of snow outside my door I say I would like to behold a warmer globe.
