End the Silence

I know what you're thinking. But this post has absolutely nothing to do with any sort of gay rights movement. It's more about a very dangerous silence than any out there: the silence that is the global warming debate. It's really a one sided deal with schools showing films such as Al Gore's "An Inconvient Truth" and the media acting like it's a settled issue. However, today I'm going to do my part to break that silence and submit some evidence that needs to be considered by all. Here's a couple speeches from Michael Crichton.

The first one is called "Aliens cause Global Warming." It points out that the science behind the global warming movement is not science.

The second I consider to be one of the best cases against this assumption that global warming is an issue. It's called "The Case for Skepticism on Global Warming." It points out many of the flaws in the arguement for global warming.

Now why do I call this silence dangerous? It's quite simple. Because of this global warming concern, people are denied sources of fuel that would help lower fuel costs. These high fuel costs make it harder and harder for struggling families to bring home much of a paycheck. Regulations on third world countries force people there to deal with weak or unhealthy forms of energy for cooking heat or simple development within their country. This isn't a debate where we can side on caution. Because if we enforce stupid regulations that hurt people and it ends up being for no reason at all, then we will have caused needless death and suffering. This is the sort of thing where we need to be sure we're right.
