GLOBAL WARMING It’s a matter of physics, not opinion According to a recent Pew Research poll, the number of people who believe there is no solid evidence of man-made global warming has declined over the past three years from 71 percent to 57 percent.Whether man-made global warming is real or not is not a matter of belief; it is a matter of physics. As sure as heat rises and the sun will come up tomorrow, Earth will heat up as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels rise. The laws of physics and the molecular structure of the CO2 molecule make it certain — no ideological doubt about it. Since 1956, atmospheric CO2 levels have skyrocketed. Concentrations are now higher than at any time in the last 1.5 million years! So, deniers, take off your aluminum hats and stop drinking the Kool-Aid served up by the multi-national corporations that have a vested interest in polluting our atmosphere with the climate-altering CO2 molecule. Study the physics. Then join the realists and help address this challenge before it’s too late. Gary Lintz Lynnwood |
