Global warming

I had the privilege to go through grade school in the remote West Texas community of Iraan. Somewhere in the process, probably fourth or fifth grade, we had a science problem.

The lesson began, “Students, scientists tell us we are entering an era of global warming.” The problem:

Students, if Houston is 6 ft. above sea level, and global warming causes the sea level to increase at the rate of one inch every seven years, how long will it be before Houston is impacted by global warming?

The purpose of this short dissertation is to point out that nearly 60 years ago, global warming was part of science discussions. If we had a discussion in an elementary classroom in the remote reaches of the West Texas desert, do you think discussions could have been going on internationally?

Then we have the much more recent Al Gorian phenomena, complete with pseudo science and the “sky is falling” mantra of the bunny huggers. This mantra includes the termination of any government scientist who does not agree with the ultra liberals and their pseudo scientists.

No, the sky is not falling. Yes, there is historic evidence of climate change.
