Random Musings for the Week Ending Feb 2, 2007 - On Global Warming and Super Coaches
How do you know it has been a slow week newswise? When the entire media becomes focused on the victims of the tornados in Florida. Don’t get me wrong, it was a tragedy, but tornados and tornado destruction and death are a regular feature of life in the United States, so why the 24-7 coverage? Slow news week. Though that doesn’t mean we cannot be in prayer for all the folks who lost loved ones, homes and jobs in the tornados. With that note, this week’s two main stories.
Global Warming Report – Big Yawn - So the U.N. releases its summary of its report that is not coming out until May. And the results? Well, if you read the press releases, it is now undoubted that the Earth is warming, that the cause is human beings, and that we have a decade to repair the damage.
The actual facts – they reduced their estimates to 3 degree C rise over the next century, they admit of the now 9 factors in climate (down from 12 by combining some), they still cannot accurately estimate 6 of them. In other words…they don’t really know but they are committed to the idea of global warming being true.
