The Public Square Radio Broadcast - Arnold on Global Warming, Information on Global Warming
I heard Arnold on TV the other day.
The Terminator, turned "Gover-nator" was on
Fox News the other day talking about Global Warming. It seems Arnold
Schwarzenegger plans to take California green in a big way.
He intends to keep driving a big SUV and
flying a private jet – all of which he contends famous people ought to be
able to do without criticism, as long as they do their part to buy
indulgences like carbon credits.
But I digress…
The most interesting point of the interview
was when Arnold was challenged on the science of global warming. “What if
the theories of man-made climate change prove to be wrong?” the Governor was
asked. His response was classic.
We’ll still all be better off for the
changes we make, said the Governor.
In other words, the ends justifies the
means. No cares about the science, let's just ride the bandwagon.
I was thinking about all this as I looked
at a picture of the Easter Bunny I took on my cell phone. This bunny was
huge, over six feet tall, with big yellow eyes and a cheery smile. It
was sitting on a front lawn this past Easter Season. It was made of snow,
that’s right, a snow bunny for Easter. It went along well with the snow much
of the Midwest endured in the coldest Spring in memory.
Some of the kids sang Christmas songs on
Easter morning, just for fun. Its fun to laugh at the weather because
it usually balances out in the end and no one holds weathermen to promises
they cannot possibly keep.
But should political leaders be held to a
higher standard?
Is it right to launch a national campaign that will heavily impact the
economy, even cost people jobs, if we don’t have the science right?
More arguments against global warming.
