A letter I sent to USA Today.

Regarding Pilkey and Young's "Doubt global warming? The planet won't tell a lie."

Once again they miss the point. The earth is a lot warmer than it was during the last Ice Age. The earth constantly changes, but the point should be "Does man-made CO2 have a significant impact on global warming?" According to the alarmists we should be increasingly getting warmer as more and more CO2 enters the atmosphere. However the temperature has defied their models for the last 10 years, according to some sources.

If man-made CO2 does not significantly affect global warming, we are wasting time and resources trying to eliminate CO2 emissions. If the sea level rises regardless of CO2 emissions, then we need to move people away from the shorelines or build seawalls and dikes. If the glaciers are going to disappear we need to provide alternative water supplies.

My suspicion is that "global warming" is being used to control pollution, capitalism, etc. If CO2 was the culprit, then why are they not supporting the building of 100 nuclear power plants to provide the energy our economy needs?

Are you disappointed in Obama?

Granted I felt Obama was going to lean to the left, but I am extremely disappointed in Obama's disregarding his promises. He said he was a candidate of change. He was going to veto bills with earmarks - not happening. He was going to allow CSPAN in on the negotiations of the health care bill, Pelosi just ignores him (despite multiple promises on the campaign trail).

He may look good and speak well, but the few things conservatives could hope for have been trashed. To me he has been a grand disappointment.
