Global Warming

Posted in Letters from Chaircat by Duma Duke on the August 7th, 2007

Chris Goodall, a leading environmentalist in the U.K. has us all rethinking global warming.

He thinks that all the known culprits for carbon emission are not as much to blame as man’s irresponsible solutions to change them.

If you ask me:

All this talk about the effects of global warming clearly demonstrates that there are too many of you. Yes, you humans, (and the cows that feed you according to Goodall.)

For those that want to turn us all green I say: the fault is certainly not ours… Cheetahs and the few Gazelles we are lucky enough to catch.

Now, if there were more Cheetahs, say hundreds of millions of us, there would not be so many of you, right?

But I am only a Cheetah, what do I know….

Yours most devoted,

   Dear Duma Duke,

   I am so confused. You are much closer to Nature than we mere people so please explain this new information about Global Warming. Thank you.

   Michael Asher at DailyTech:

   NASA has now silently released corrected figures, and the changes are truly astounding. The warmest year on record is now 1934. 1998 (long trumpeted by the media as recordbreaking) moves to second place. 1921 takes third. In fact, 5 of the 10 warmest years on record now all occur before World War II. Anthony Watts has put the new data in chart form, along with a more detailed summary of the events.

   1998 no longer the hottest year on record in USA

   For Chuck and other human friends:
   Now that the scientists’ differering opinions are challenged we may be one step closer to the facts.

   Meanwhile please guard our space before it is too late and there’s nothing left to conserve. Cementing over the earth to provoide more room for your own species is not the solution. I’m told we’re all agreed on that?

   Conservation is important without any question. And it’s also important to the development of economies in the most impoverished countries. (Eco-tourism, for example)

   Haiti, where I have visited, is about as desperately poor at as any place on Earth and they have also utterly destroyed their environment. So now their situation does appear truly hopeless.

   A place like Kenya can, I think, develop its economy and preserve its spectacular natural environment - both at the same time; with each helping to sustain the other.

   Unfortunately, meanwhile, there are other forces at operating… I’m sure I have no idea about the validity of the video shown below. It’s Part One of series of Eight videos all available at YouTube.

   Among the disturbing quotes:

   It is a story about Westerners invoking the threat of climatic disaster to hinder vital industrial progress in the developing world.

   One clear thing that emerges from the whole environmental debate is there is somebody keen to kill the African Dream and the African Dream is to develop.

   The environmental movement has evolved into the strongest force there is for preventing development in the developing countries.

   The whole global warming business has become like a religion and people who disagree are called heretics.

   Etc. Kenya is featured prominently in the later segments.

   I think one of the most pernicious aspects of the modern environmental movement is this romanticization of peasant life. And the idea that industrial societies are the destoyers of the world. …I think it is legitimate to call them anti-human.
