I just read this article where 650 international scientists have banded together to dispute the “consenus” on so-called man-made global climate change.

It is so refreshing to see these scientists, and their findings, to get some coverage. It’s nothing short of arrogance to believe that a consensus could be arrived at so quickly on a topic of such vast scale.

Climate change is something that I openly admit I know little about. My skepticism is based mostly on intuition, so if I’m proved to be totally wrong, I’ll accept it.

But one thought occurred to me the other day when I read a story about the Creation Museum’s assertion of a “young earth”:
“Rapid” climate change is logically considered extreme for the Old Earth (millions-of-years) folks, but for the Young Earth (6k-12k year old Earth) folks, the pace of these climate changes fits right in. I’m not saying this has any weight in the debate – I simply found it to be interesting.

I guess the thing that bothers me about Big Govt. and Big Media’s rush to assume consensus on man-made global climate change is that it is nothing but a segue for more intrusion and control. I’m already seeing stories written about Carbon Credits, etc. and it makes my eyes sore from rolling so much.
