Pat Sajak asks 10 Legitimate Questions about Global Warming

Pat Sajak is much more than a game show host. Those who may disagree with him will, no doubt, be quick to jump on his job description or his experience in the real world, but having read many of his columns over the years at his website, it's evident to me that the man is a thinker (hey...he's got some time on his hands, after all!)

His most recent column appears in today's HUMAN EVENTS and he asks 10 pertinent questions regarding "man-caused global warming." Here are a few of them:

1. What is the perfect temperature?

If we are to embark on a lifestyle-altering quest to lower the temperature (or at least minimize its rise), what is our goal? I don’t ask this flippantly. Can we demonstrate that one setting on the global thermostat is preferable over another? If so, what is it, and how do we get there? And, once there, how do we maintain it? Will we ever have to “heat things up” again if it drops below that point?

2. Just what is the average temperature of the earth?

At any one time there are temperature extremes all over the planet. How do we come up with an average, and how do those variations fit in with our desire to slow global warming?

3. What factors have led to global warming in the past, and how do we know they aren’t the causes of the current warming trend?

Again, I don’t ask this in a judgmental way. There is no argument that warming cycles (or cooling, for that matter) have been a part of earth’s history. Why are we so sure this one is different?

4. Why is there such a strong effort to stifle discussion and dissent?

I’m always troubled by arguments that begin, “Everybody agrees...” or “Everyone knows...” In fact, there is a good deal of dissent in the scientific world about the theory of man-made global warming. A large (and growing) segment of those who study such things are questioning some of the basic premises of the theory. Why should there be anything wrong with that? Again, this is a big deal, and we should have the best information and opinion from the best minds.

You need to visit the above links to see the rest of his questions. They're good questions that demand answers. We can't afford to lay down our freedoms, pocketbooks, and American way of life as we know it to those who espouse dubious scientific data. The left is in desperation mode to impose international taxation to bolster the socialist agenda put forth by the United Nations.

Be sure to read Sajak's piece. More and more people are stepping up to question the faith-based consensus of "man-caused global warming."
