Global Warming Stupidity

Well, I'm sorry I haven't posted in forever, but I haven't thought of anything to post. In fact, I had thought about deleting the blog. Until, that is, this month's issue of Reader's Digest came in. As I flipped through, I found an article about a little village in Alaska called Kivalina. The caption below the title claimed that it was "melting into the sea." The island that it's located on has been shrinking for the past fifty years, mostly because of erosion. However, with the current warming trend and the global warming hysteria, they're starting to blame climate change. The inhabitants of the town were going to have to move, and since it's because of "global warming", they filed suit against TWENTY FOUR oil, electricity, and coal companies for causing climate change. That was not a typo. And the insanity doesn't stop there! They claimed that some of the companies conspired to create a "false debate" about global warming to "fool the public." First of all, the debate is real, and if anyone's attempting to fool the public, it's the other way around. Second, does Reader's Digest protest this stupidity? No! They claim that "global warming and its effects on the arctic are well-documented", implying that it's proven. I'll post again if I find out if they win the case.
