So I am seriously irritated with the whole notion of global warming. Many people are unaware that the natural order of things for the Earth is periods of warmth and periods of cold/ice. Not every single thing we do causes the Earth to warm up. If you don’t believe me, then please ask any geologists. I have a friend who works for FEMA in geo-studies. She backs up my theory on the global warming issue nearly a 100%. She ALSO agrees that this is just a natural Earth cycle, and we need not be so darned worried about it. We can’t force the Earth to do what we want..or can we?

Yes, I do believe we as humans have the responsibility to treat our homeworld better than we have been. I do NOT knock recycling and finding cleaner fuel sources. In fact, I am totaly gung-ho for it. When I bought a new care about 2 years ago, I made sure it was low on emissions and had a high gas mileage, although not totally because of environmental issues. Partly it was due to pocketbook issues. I didn’t foresee gas prices jumping this high. I feel that good ‘ole Bubba Bush is going to suck out the last little bit from all of us before he makes his grand exit. You can pick your friends…you can’t pick your relatives..and unfortunately we ARE distant kin. I kind of feel this gives me some right to criticize my VERY distant cousin

Anyway, back to global warming. Every so many thousands of years, there are cycles through a cooling period after a dramatic warm-up. What causes this you may ask if it’s not completely carbon/greenhouse emissions? Well, let me explain it in the best layman’s terms that I can. When the earth gets into a warmer phase, the world’s ocean temperatures also rise. This causes more warm water to dump into the North Atlantic Drift of the Gulf Stream. There are huge deposits of methane gas underneath the silt of the Atlantic Ocean. As it warms up, the methane gas unfreezes, releasing more gasses into the atmosphere. This in turn helps heat up the atmosphere to the point where the Earth eventually begins reflecting more sunlight than it takes in. The sunlight becomes partially blocked, plunging the Earth into ice ages, helping to slow down the Gulf Stream. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Stream

Then the warm-up begins anew. As the Earth begins freezing up, glaciers are formed along with huge ice sheets. These ice sheets ONLY contain fresh water. Salt from the oceans is basically spit out of these sheets, sinking to the very bottom of the oceans because salt is more dense than fresh water. As the salt levels and cold levels increase, both cause the ocean water in the extreme north (and south for the other hemisphere of Earth) to become extremely dense. This creates a friction pushing the Gulf Stream/North Atlantic Current back into full force. (Think of magnets that repel, because it causes a slip-sliding motion as they repel.) As warmer, much less dense water reaches the extremely dense cold water, currents are created from the overturn, pushing the Current along. Thus the cycle begins anew. (This website explains more about whate are greenhouse gasses http://www.physorg.com/news11710.html .)

I also saw on the news how the scientists in the U.S. have suggested releasing sulfur particles into the air to help reflect back some of the sunlight to help reduce global warming. HELLO! These scientists are only making suggestions for what they were asked. They have very much voiced that they do NOT know what this will do to the environment. They especially have voiced a fear of forcing us into a dramatic ice age. Um..shouldn’t we just let mother nature handle things. She’s been doing a great job for the last million or so years, let’s not screw it up!

Plus there are already some conspiracy theories about airplane contrails. Lots of people, mostly scientists or science-type people have noticed changes in some airplane contrails produced. They think the government has been secretly dumping chemicals into the atmosphere for who knows what reason. Well, what does this have to do with global warming you ask? Simple, if they want to put those millions of sulfur particles in the air..how else do you think they are going to get them up there? The media usually only reports something AFTER the government has gone and done it..so I think it’s safe to say that they are trying this idea out anyway..regardless of the consequences.
