According to The Flint Journal columnist John Tomlinson, we need to begin to pray for global warming. His column in The Flint Journal states that:
"At December's U.N. Global Warming conference in Poznan, Poland, 650 of the world's top climatologists stood up and said man-made global warming is a media generated myth without basis. Said climatologist Dr. David Gee, Chairman of the International Geological Congress, "For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming?""
The University of Illinois' Arctic Climate Research Center has discovered that the Arctic ice is now at the same level it was in 1979, and Antarctic ice has increased 5 per cent since 1980. The Russian government has just released a study saying that we are headed for a 100,000 year ice age. This is not related to carbon dioxide levels--core samples taken from the earth show that carbon dioxide levels follow the earth's temperature rise--not lead it. Carbon dioxide fluctuations follow the change in sea temperature. As water temperatures rise, oceans release additional dissolved carbon dioxide.
The cost of 'fixing global warming' on the successful economies of the world would be enormous. Somehow, someone has gotten the idea that taking money from people or economies that are successful and giving it to people or economies that have failed is a good idea. The missing part of this idea is that economic success if generally based on actions--for people, it involves freedom to pursue goals, for countries, it involves giving freedom to people so that they can create what is needed for a successful society. If your goal is to eliminate as much poverty from the earth as possible, all you would have to do is abolish dictatorships and communist and socialist societies. Look around and see which countries are prospering. Admittedly, this is a hard time for any country to prosper, but generally, the countries with the most freedom are doing the best economically. Where you have a ruling cadre that controls all the wealth of a country and no middle class--just poverty, no amount of money given by successful countries is going to make a difference. Any money given will simply wind up in the pockets of the corrupt leaders. Carbon credits and other similar plans are only ways to take money away from the people who have earned it and give it to people who have no intention of working for it.
