First, I woke up this morning to -11 degree temperatures. That's cold enough to freeze your nose hairs to a flagpole, which I don't recommend trying. Second, this has been one of the coldest winters I can remember. Even Texas is experiencing snow. Texas is like...completely desert, right? You don't get snow in the desert. Clearly these scientists are making up their facts, and I think I know why. It's way easier to get us to focus on some poor whether problem so they can make money on all their green products. Who benefits from those things? The people who make them, of course. Scientists, sitting in a room developing ways to cost us more money and make us feel bad if we don't do it.
"You're killing the earth!" -Scientists
"You're killing my pocketbook!" -Me
And unless you're one of the scientists, you're going to have an awful time proving them wrong. So I say, let's spend less time focusing on this global warming talk and more time figuring out who is paying my heating bill this month.
End rant.

ReplyDeleteThese green products do in fact benefit us. Polystyrene for example, is a product that we are now trying to replace due to the fact that it will never naturally decompose. Other methods to dispose of it, like burning it, cause it to release CFC's or Chlorofluorocarbons that eat away at the earth's ozone layer. The layer that protects us from the sun's harmful UV rays. these greener products may be pricier, but that is because they are more complicated to make and distribute. And Texas is not all desert. it has temperate forests, valleys and lakes and stuff.
