Washington Libertarian Review

Political commentary from the State of Washington with a libertarian perspective.

Sunday, February 20, 2005

"All the potential culprits have been ruled out except one."

The London Times reports that proof has been found that global warming is caused by man-made emissions of greenhouse gases.

Computer modeling of changes in ocean temperatures compared natural variations in the earth's climate, or changes in solar activity or volcanic eruptions to greenhouse gas emissions. The results strongly suggests greenhouse gases are the culprit for a .9 degree increase in ocean temperatures over the past 40 years.

And so the environmentalists now have their "proof." But to what end? Do we restrain development of better living standards in the third world to keep ocean temperatures down? Or does anybody really think people are going to give up their cars?
