Janice, you asked
The left believes absolutely without any doubt that man made global climate change is happening, and that there is something wrong with people who think it is not.
The right believes absolutely without any doubt that man made global climate change is not happening, and that there is something wrong with people who think it is.
Those are the belief systems I was talking about. In a way they seem pretty similar to me.
Wrong, although, of course I can't speak for all.
I believe it would be more accurate to write:
"The right believe absolutely without any doubt that man made global change is not happening, although there are multitudes of people who have a vested interest in suggesting that it is. These people generally have a financial agenda at the heart of their "belief" and thus, they and their opinions cannot be considered as remotely without bias."
Going on, I'd say that climate change, in and of itself, DOES exist. The question is, "how does man's activity impact the climate?" And to that, I have to say:
It doesn't -- at least not on an appreciable level. Too many truly gargantuan things have happened in our history which, on a single basis, makes anything man has ever done over the past 200 years look inconsequential in scope and effect.
But the Al Gores of the world would have you believe that the world will cease to exist as we know it if we continue to burn coal to make electricity. Al this, of course, while he maintains pretty nice digs for himself and his soon-to-be ex-wife Tipper.
