I don't like public health less than you do. I do detest college educated putting out JUNK SCIENCE to defraud the public into thinking there is a problem concerning public health, when in fact they have another political agenda that they are pushing- and don't want the average guy on the street to know.
These are the worst of criminals- who benefit from the educational opportunities made available to them in this country- mostly supported by grants, and tax dollars, even for the small, so-called private colleges-- and use that education to LIE to people for their own narrow political agenda.Yet, if they pursue a popular cause- they never are prosecuted for their frauds, or even disciplined in their jobs. Many are rewarded for their lies- like Al Gore.
The American people deserve the truth- not lies about what the environment is and what it isn't. We need to know what we can fix, how much it will really cost us all, and more important, we need to know when government hasn't a clue what to do to fix a problem. When we know that someone in government is not going to wave a wand and fix some problem, then we all have a green light to do our own thinking and come up with possible solutions. That is where America, and Americans have proven to be the best in the World. Its in our innovation, and invention that we excel and outdistant all other countries in this world. The world looks to America for solutions to all world problems, but stabs us in the back because we are able to help. They don't want to change themselves and the cultural problems their societies create that contribute to their public health and medical problems, but they expect us to send aid everytime there is a problem. We don't even get a " Thank You" from these other countries and peoples.
You might think that as we approach the 50th anniversary of The Peace Corps, and other programs that have literally rebuilt societies all over the world that someone out there might just want to declare a special day of Thanksgiving to give thanks to the American People for our generosity, and willingness to help. I have NO expectation that we will ever be repaid the "loans" we have made over the years to foreign governments, and for the direct aid to the people.
I absolutely have no tolerance for liars, and the better educated the liars are, and the more voice they are given by our Press, the more I want them locked up for LIFE. We did have a water pollution problem in this country, but the strides made in the past 40 years have boggled the mind. Our waters are so much cleaner now than they were 50 years ago, that if our ancestors could come back to life from 1000 years ago, they would not recognize how clean the waters are today, even compared to their time.
We had a much bigger air pollution problem 50 years ago- and even worse, 70 years ago, when all home heating was done with coal or wood burning furnaces. If you think the air is polluted today, you should see pictures of our air over cities as it existed in 1950, and before.
Yes, we still have some problems, but we have made great strides, and are making greater strides. We are so far ahead of the rest of the world that it screams. Russia, China, and Africa put out more pollutants into their air, that affects the globe, than we have in years. We have no control over those continents and countries. We can show the world solutions that we have found- that inventive American again-- but we can't make the world follow our example.
In the 1990s, we were told that Green House Gases were responsible for the Earth COOLING. In the 2000s, we were told that Green House Gases are responsible for the Eart WARMING, and predictions of rises in ocean levels, huge floods that would inundate our coastal cities, and other dire predictions were all based on "cherry-picked " data to show a sharp increase in the Earth's temperature, when there has not been one. Gore's data chose readings only from weather stations in large cities, where the presense of so much brick, concrete and asphalt hold heat and warm the air artificially, and ignorred the readings from Rural and small-town weather stations where the readings reflect more accurately the air temperatures- day in and day out. That is how he was able to write his book about " Global Warming" screaming " The Sky is Falling", and earned his Nobel Award, and his Oscar for the movie made by his Hollywood supporters on his book. So, like the Oliver Stone movie on the JFK assassination, which totally omits Key, undeniable facts to come up with Jim Garrison's crazy conspiracy theory, People today still believe that there is a " Global Warming " crisis, that is man made, and that JFK was assassinated as the result of a Conspiracy.
Right.
And, " Rock and Roll " movies currupts our youth, Horror comic books cause kids to become bloodthirsty killers, violent video games cause people to run out into the streets and commit mass murder, etc.
I would hope your interest in good Science guiding our efforts to identify real problems, and find cures for them, will be at least as important to you as your interest in a " Green environment. "
