Just read another letter on The Forum's opinion page about "global warming."
I would like to have some scientist prove to me the "power of pollution." If pollution is so powerful that it will destroy the Earth, would not every firefighters melt, disintegrate, outright die within a short time of being in close proximity to every imaginable chemical? On the other hand, we can demolish buildings if the Air Force breaks the sound barrier only once. I'd hate to see what would happen to a human.
There has been a lot written the past few weeks about biblical whatever. In the Bible, the Almighty destroys Sodom and Gomorrah with a giant ball of sulfur. Just think of all that pollution. According to our global elitists, how could the Earth possibly have survived? I have read nothing biblically that the weather back then changed at all.
It is written that man could discern the weather by watching the sky. (Sure can't do that today. With billions of dollars in
top-notch tools, meteorologists are wrong more than they are right about forecasting the weather.) Maybe the earth did warm a "degree" or two for a few months, but needless to say, the good earth is still here.

So now let's talk "weather." This past year, 2007, an area in New York had a tornado. Never before in the history of record-keeping had they had a tornado. Six weeks and two days after our last space shuttle blasted off, the Portland, Ore., area had the worst flooding in 56 years, as reported by a fellow who had lived there that long.
Figure this out. Everything in nature follows a pattern: It takes nine months to have a baby, (give or take); it takes 21 days to hatch a baby chicken, (give or take a few hours); it takes six to seven weeks from infancy to full-scale weather event, everything following a distinct pattern.
So with a little bit of God-given intelligence, I would say that six weeks and two days after the last shuttle blasted off, that launch had something major to do with the worst flooding in Oregon/Washington, for the very simple reason that breaking the speed of sound (the sound barrier) affected weather. You cannot break nature's law without consequences.
If pollution or the media-sanctioned "global warming" caused all this erratic weather, would not Los Angeles or Denver have been a better target than Oregon? Man-made pollution certainly must be worse there.
Rush Limbaugh goes on and on about how the majority of the masses do not trust the media. Is it any wonder? The media only report what the "powers that be" pay them to - except the opinion page and talk radio of course. Nothing ever changes.
Many of the letters are awesome, but the powers do not heed them. The writers are supposed to be awed by the "printing of their letter." Wow, I made the paper, I made the talk show. Unless the powers allow common sense and intelligence to dictate policy, the rocketing into space of satellites, and especially the shuttle, will destroy areas of the world much faster than pollution.
