However, I received the following e-mail from a lady whose strong liberal views I might often agree with. It said in part, “The Sierra Club, Brave New Films and MoveOn.org Civic Action launched a campaign to ask Home Depot to pull its advertising from Fox News, which has been relentless in trying to portray global warming as a hoax and a lie. More than 360,000 people have watched the video Fox Attacks: The Environment on YouTube since then, and more than 30,000 have signed our petition to Home Depot.” She was asking me to sign this petition.
Well, despite my moderate leanings, I (like millions of others) am unsure of the veracity of the claims about global warming being created by emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and refrigerant gases. Why? Because carbon dioxide and methane emissions are a most natural part of ecology and life, and refrigerant gas emissions are so minimal and unnecessary that they are negligible. Oh yes, I still believe that CFCs are damaging the earth’s protective ozone layer, but that’s another story and argument.
