Last week, Utah--reaffirming its status as reddest state in the nation--took another jab at the vast international community that is trying to halt global warming when its House adopted a resolution that questions climate change, and criticizes federal programs aimed at curbing emissions.
As North America and Europe face their coldest winters in decades, many climate change deniers are taking the opportunity to do their best Nelson Muntz impression.
Well, as one might suspect, the science behind global warming is not actually that simple. I won't discredit myself by pretending I understand the science, but I will direct you to this US News and World Report article, which gives some explanation. Interestingly, the article avoids the conclusions I initially jumped to: extremes and variability.
"Unless you're a rock dweller, you've no doubt heard about so-called "Climategate": The hacked e-mails from University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) that prove scientists have manipulated statistics to hide the fact that global warming is a hoax.
Or, a series of catty e-mails among colleagues, with no bearing whatsoever on the scientific reality of catastrophic climate change."
"I was glad to see YPNation Contributor Nikki Gloudeman share her thoughts on the "climategate" saga. It's hard to recall an event that has caused such excitement in conservative print media, and on talk radio and Fox News. And with some justification."
When world leaders convene to discuss climate change in Copenhagen this December, they'd be wise to discuss the role of women, the United Nations Population Fund announced this week.
