It
is vital to note that these details are based NOT on “conservative” or “Trumpian”
opinions, but on scientific facts brought to light through scientifically-disciplined
investigation. In regard to Seattle for
example, the scientific evidence for the glacier that buried that region consists
of parallel north/south ridges (drumlins) along the direction of the glacier that
are separated by rounded valleys, and vast layers of moraine (glacial gravel)
and “erratics”[1] (boulders)
carried there by glaciers, but later left behind when the glacial tongue melted.
It is also crucial to note that these ice
masses began retreating 16,000 years PRIOR to the 2nd Industrial
Revolution (dated in the mid-1870s) with its introduction of mass-production
and use of fossil fuels to power industry and transportation. This neglected fact, in and of itself, refutes
the alarmists’ assertion that people are a necessary cause of “runaway”
global warming. Indeed alarmists can
only maintain their agenda by both ignoring such evidence and limiting
their analytical timeline (AT) to about the last 150 years.[2] For example, in my “google” search on
the topic, “scholarly articles for shrinking glaciers and global
warming,” of the first 65 web-sites (where I arbitrarily stopped), virtually
all of them worked within the above AT, and neither of the two exceptions referencing
older dates (4,000 y.a.) sought to reconcile them with con-temporary charges of
human-caused CC.[3] By way of illustration, retreating Athabaska
Glacier (AG)[4] lying
just north of the border between Banff and Jasper National Parks in Canada, has
heightened the allegation of our complicity in global warming.[5] Yet that glacier is merely a tongue to what once
was an immensely larger glacier, which is now (again, conveniently) never referenced
in this context. The rounded aspect of the
huge valley trough which routes the famous “Icefields Parkway” proves that it
was carved by 250 miles of glacier,[6]
flowing two directions from a common beginning point, that vanished at the end
of the last ice age.[7] It is fully reasonable to assume that if these
references to geological history didn’t challenge the CC agenda, the alarmists
would eagerly refute the challenge that I am posing. So, their silence is palpable and their chronic
failure to concede the above data is very
telling.
If
we are to really believe that it is the purpose of the CC agenda to save our
planet, then questions demand to be asked which confront the following incoherent
circumstances:
Firstly,
at the same time that CC alarmists (CCA) insist on overhauling both our
society’s economic philosophy and our industrial means of production and
transportation, they themselves exhibit no signs of self-reform in their own personal,
private lives.
