Global Warming

In this world of relativism, there are still some things that are certain, besides death and taxes. The talent of Bob Dylan is a perfect example. Mass insanity is unfortunately another. If you need proof, look no further than the ongoing controversy surrounding global warming.
It is unfathomable to me that there are still some people who want to dispute the fact that global warming is occurring. Some of our elected representatives are guilty of this, Jim Inhofe, Republican Senator from Oklahoma being one prominent example. The fact that a man who holds this point of view gets elected is even greater evidence of mass insanity.
It is a fact that global warming causes the air to be more humid. This makes the hot summer days more uncomfortable and winter storms more intense. I live in New Jersey, and if last winter's storms and the fact that we have had nearly 30 days of 90 degree weather this summer, when the norm is 15, then you are willfully blind.
How can anyone be expected to be taken seriously when they dispute something that is obviously true? You can't believe anything that comes out of their mouth. I once heard Pat Buchanan say on the McLaughlin Group that he doesn't believe in evolution. This man was a presidential candidate. That's if for me. I will never take anything he says seriously again.
Do we want to let that kind of thinking become part of the higher level discussion? As we gain greater insight into the forces that drive the earth, will we let those who fear knowledge and espouse darkness become more powerful and vocal? The Roman Empire collapsed under the weight of its bureaucracy and complacency. The people that comprise the forward thinkers in our society should be very watchful that the same fate does not befall us.
