I Wonder If They Had This Same Problem With Gravity?
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
Climate Change is said to be an absolute fact, once upon a time caused by aerosols like underarm deodorant and now caused by our energy use, especially coal (that we have a lot of and can use to economically produce electricity). Now there happens to be some who don’t believe that Climate Change is the world-ending problem that true believes know it to be. These unbelievers may not see the end result as being bad, they may not even believe that it is happening – or, they might not be willing to accept the blame of mankind causing the situation.
Depending on your perspective, you can point at some expert study and prove whatever truth you want to demonstrate as being the case. As a non-believer I have provided numerous links to everything from the temperatures not increasing to what will happen from a negative consequence for the legislation just passed by the U.S. House.
As provided by a friend, this account supports the contention for those who believe the Cap & Trade proposal will not be the economy killer that we think it will be.
Trying to sort through the details of the polar opposite points of view I got to wondering if Mr. Newton had the same problem as he worked through the concept of gravity and the falling apple.
Was there an unrecorded effort by government officials to social engineer the outcome of objects falling downward to earth? Perhaps nations of the world got together to negotiate a “burden treaty” making sure that the undeveloped countries could still let as much fall as possible without constraint, but penalizing those countries with healthy economies from having too much fall. As we well know today, it wouldn’t be right to have an unfair advantage for the “haves” using too much gravity while not letting other nation’s fully have their stuff hit the ground…
I also wonder if there were findings back then that instead of falling, sometimes objects just slipped to half-way or maybe even on occasion fell up?
Maybe that’s the problem that today’s scientists have, Newton and the other guys got the easy scientific facts – the ones that were actually provable. Today we have to rely on how many scientists line-up behind your belief to cause it to be true. Then you can all chip in and put your name on a newspaper ad saying you’re right and anybody who doesn’t believe is a dunce.
It’s probably a good thing that the gravity thing settled itself out back when it did, otherwise Congress would have to try and figure out a new tax excuse to social engineer us through such a challenge.
