On June 25, President Obama<\/a> gave a speech on the subject of climate change. He also detailed his plan (which incidentally does not include Congress<\/a>) to structure America’s energy policies in order to avoid climate change.<\/p>\n

In the process of that speech, President Obama declared, “But I don’t have much patience for anybody who argues the problem is not real. We don’t have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society<\/a>.” I guess at some time I joined the flat earth society.<\/p>\n

Doomsday scenarios<\/a> depend largely on unreliable computer models whose builders have no explanation for such conflicts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bottom line here is simple. As much as our over-inflated egos would like to think that we totally understand changes in the earth’s climate and that we can control them–we don’t. And we probably won’t for a long time. I am not against doing what is possible to control pollution. I am against using unproven science to cripple America’s energy production and economy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
