[Edmond Baratta]

Larry:

I'm not a 'Disciple' of Al Gore's climate change.  My recommendation was for 
those who subscribe to it.

>> 1. The Green House Effect is a recognized scientific fact.
>> 2. It is recognized that CO2 contributes to the phenomenon.
>> 3. Modern technology, automobiles, power plants etc. generate CO2.
>> 4. The green house effect results in warming of the atmosphere which
>> directly effects climate.
>>
>> Therefore, CO2 and man's actions contribute to climate change.
>>
>> One can argue the degree of contribution but not whether the phenomenon
>> exists.
>>
>> 4. Fact: CO2 is not the only green house gas that is generated by man's
>> activities.
>>
>> 5. Fact: sun spots don't contribute to ocean acidity.
>> 6. Fact: There has been a significant change in ocean acidity in the last
>> 150 years.
>> 7  Fact: CO2 is the major contributor to ocean acidity.
>> 8. Fact: There is already recognizable damage to coral reefs from ocean
>> acidity.
>>
>> Ocean acidity is not far below the level that will result in dissolution
>> of reefs and prevent shell fish from forming shells.
>>
>> So completely ignore climate change but don't plan to go scuba diving on
>> reefs or eat oysters in the future.
>>
>> The potential impact goes far beyond what I've described.
>>
>> Don't worry about that either because we can't afford to make the changes
>> to limit the problem and the full effect may not happen in our life time.
>>
>> Let me get personal. My father-in-law will turn 100 next year. He has a 5
>> year old grandson. This has caused me to rethink my attitude about many
>> things. Mostly, I make decisions which might affect people on a century
>> scale not my projected and somewhat limited life span.
>> I worry about bankrupting my children, grandchildren and potential
>> succeeding generations with the national debt. So do a lot of people.
>> The people who scream the most about the debt tend to be many of the
>> climate change deniers.
>>
>> Because of the debt, my great grandchildren may not be able to afford
>> food, shelter or clothing, but I don't worry about this because the earth
>> won't be inhabitable anyway.
