It’s now official.
The United Nations, the omniscient governing body of the world, has
identified the real source of global warming.
According to the United Nations, utilization of the resources
necessary to develop and maintain this source of global warming account for 9%
of the Earth’s emissions of carbon dioxide, the most common greenhouse
gas. 37% of all methane emissions
(which has 23 times the effect of CO2 on global warming) and 65% of the
nitrogen dioxide emissions (which has 296 times the effect of CO2 on
global warming) also come from this source.
Additionally, this source also produces more than 100 other
polluting gases, including 64% of the world's emissions of ammonia. It causes water pollution that contaminates
drinking water, kills coral reefs, and creates "dead zones" in the
oceans, one of which covers more than 800 square miles in the Gulf of
Mexico. It also is responsible for
turning a fifth of all pastures and ranges into deserts.
Unless drastic changes are made, the massive damage done by
this source of global warming will more than double by 2050, according to the
UN’s 390 page report “Livestock’s
Long Shadow” (4.95 Mb pdf file).
That’s right.
According to the UN, this official source of global warming is cows!
But it doesn’t stop there.
This same report cites the infamous Kyoto Protocols, not as a method of
solving the problem, but as a mechanism for financing it. So once again, it’s the United States that
has to pay for another UN “solution.”
Just a reminder…an independent analysis of the Kyoto
Protocols by the Cato Institute, published in 1998 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, found
that if 100% of its recommendations were implemented, it would result in a
decrease in global temperatures of 0.07o C over 50 years, or 0.14
o C over 100 years.
And all these “greenhouse gasses” together make up less than
1% of the Earth’s atmosphere, which is composed of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen.
When our esteemed Congress holds hearings on the subject of
global warming, they call in expert scientists like Kathy Ireland to testify. Meanwhile, it took renowned environmental scientist Dennis Miller to remind us of the April
28, 1975 article in Newsweek by Peter
Gwynne, warning us all about global cooling and the coming ice age.
According to that article, “There are ominous signs
that the Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically….The
evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so
massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it.”
Remember when Chicken Little was just a fairy
tale?
