Science Denial

After inconsistency, nothing bothers me more than a denial of facts.

The glacier melt is a coherent sign of global warming.  CO2 levels are higher in the atmosphere.  Higher CO2 levels cause an atmosphere to warm. Burning hydrocarbons releasees CO2 into the atmosphere.  So do cow farts and other natural activities.  And we cannot ruin the global economy by asking for too rapid a change.

Those who focus on the latter facts can accept the former facts and still say we should not implement cap & trade policies.
However, now there is evidence that that the oceans, which absorb CO2, are becoming more acidic as a result.  These higher levels of acid are causing baby shell fish to not create their natural shells and die. I already knew we were overfishing scaled fish, and focusing my dining on shell fish.  Now there may be no hope for either type of seafood in the quantities needed to feed the population.

I guess there might be hope for shellfish if we started to focus on CO2 emission ASAP, but I know the GOP will not support that and there are more basic economic issues to be dealt with.

So enjoy your shellfish now, because to your grandchildren they may be the equivalent of the Dodo Bird.
