It is interesting to many of us that our “bad weather” is being blamed on global warming, which has been proven to not exist. Recently, in a Senate hearing on “global warming,” Sen. Ted Cruz asked the president of the Sierra Club to list any real scientists who believed global warming existed and to cit the reasons for it. He consulted with his assistants and after a few minutes he responded that they knew of no one.

Back in 1984, our government stated through its Sandia Laboratory that the world was wobbling on its axis and that it would continue indefinitely. The result would be earthquakes and volcanic activities from latitudes 20N to 20S and shifting of the earth’s tectonic plates. This has all happened, with the movements of our tectonic plates causing heating of the oceans when they move and cooling when they are stable. Thus, we have El Niños and La Niñas, which alter the weather in our country and around the world.

Obviously, the non-existent global warming has had no effect on our weather. However, smog levels produced by carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide have been high in the industrial countries over the past hundred years and have been the cause of the destruction of forests around the globe. Fertilizers and pesticides have been polluting our rivers and even the Gulf of Mexico with dead areas where there are no fish or organisms. For years, our governments have sanctioned the dumping of trash and garbage into the oceans, causing no end of poisoning of the seas.

There is much for the world governments and peoples to do to make our world a better and safer place for all of us and our children to live in but let us call it what it is, and it is not global warming. Call it polluting!
