The article “Cool spring dampening possibilities for corn crop” caught my eye. My immediate thought, given the plethora of recent articles about global warming, was that we are now going to see the wacko environmental nuts like Al Gore hypothesizing that global warming is the cause of the cool spring that is creating a greater crisis for food and ethanol production.

 

Al Gore and those same wacko environmental nuts are responsible for the ethanol scam, which has recently been the subject of other articles from respected authorities as an idea whose time has come and gone due to the fact that it is not a workable solution to energy conservation. Anyone who still thinks that using corn as an additive to gasoline to make cars more efficient needs to research this and learn the true facts. The shortage of food in the world and the high prices for food today are directly related to this mistake by some well-meaning gullible individuals, and more importantly, by large corporations and Al Gore’s foundation, which benefits financially from creating this problem.

I believe the ethanol “solution” has been thoroughly debunked and would like to focus this letter on “global warming” instead.

I would suggest that interested Register readers pull up “global cooling” on Google and read the following articles for current information. In my opinion, we won’t have a good answer to this climate riddle for millions of years but the speculation by Gore and his cohorts is just that — hysteria to sell his movie and enrich those that benefit from these scams. The articles are:

1) The cool wet spring article, by David Mercer AP, from May 31 Register
2) Blog comments from Stu Ostro, senior meteorologist, not dated
3) UC Davis, David Perlman, S.F. Chronicle Jan. 5, 2008
4) Power Line Global Cooling Alert, Feb. 9, 2008
5) Fox, Evidence of Global Cooling, Brit Hume, Feb. 28, 2008

Al Gore’s assertions that the argument over whether global warming is occurring is over, and the fact that our governments have accepted this false assumption at the local, state and federal level is premature and alarming since the costs to subsidize the creation of alternative fuels to petroleum may bankrupt our country. Let’s contact our representatives and ask them to vote yes on drilling, no on ethanol and a resounding no on government participation in any of these scams.  Source
