Big headlines t’day…water on Mars…proof of the possibility of life…have all our vaunted space scientists been wrong all these years…does this have anything to do with climate change?  

We humans tend to have a lot of what my Grandmother use’ta call ‘gall’…

First, that we are the superior beings on this planet,that all the other creatures, great and small, are somehow inherently inferior to us…

Secondly…We have looked for ‘intelligent life’ and not found it so we must surely be the only creatures cast in the image of God, which loosely translated means that God looks like us, so…well, draw your own conclusions…

Which brings me to Numero tres (three for those folk who believe that the rest of the civilized world should learn to speak good old American English…which brings me to the subject I really wanted to comment on t’day…namely, Climate Change…

Climate change use’ta be known as global warming, at least among the intelligentsia of the progressive liberals who have taken it on themselves to instruct all the rest of us in the proper way of doing everything…

When the theory of global warming began to collect so much doubt that it was in danger of being laughed out of business, the savvy Liberals decided to ‘change’ the name, not the game…’n they replaced the term global warming with the term climate change. (Liberals tend to do a lot of shuffling non-essentials around 'n calling it progress)...

Now, no one can actually argue with the term climate change because climate actually refers to weather and the weather, as we all know, is constantly changing…a tired old bromide that everyone complains about but no one actually does anything about...

Anyhow, the progressive liberals who have a really high opinion of themselves, being made in the image of the God that they tend to deny, observed that Man was responsible for climate change…that Man, by his own exertions, created poisonous gases that rose to the heavens and blocked the sun…oops, that would lead to global cooling and that ain’t the subject today…but man has created a blanket of gases that let the heat of the sun through but blocks any natural cooling and the result is going to be…global warming where the oceans are going to rise and flood the worlds most expensive properties (doesn’t matter that every junion high school science teacher proves an entirely different theory when they allow ice to melt in a full glass of water and the water never spills over the top)…

Oh well, Bill Nye the science guy swears that if the polar ice melts, why we’ll have exponentially more water so naturally, the oceans will, unlike the ice in the glass of water, will rise and flood the earth…(and here we won't say anything much about Al Gore, the leading proponent of global warming, using just some of the profits from his book 'n movie to buy a very expensive house in Malibu...just saying)

So, if you point out the seeming incongruity of this to those who embrace the theory that religions are false because one must accept them on faith alone but science is real because it is fact-based and you can’t argue with the facts…but first, one must accept that facts are true and it takes a leap of faith for everyone to believe…sort of a round robin carousel…like a circle in a circle or a wheel within a wheel…

Anyway, it’s a quiet (so far) Saturday morning…I’m on my last cup of coffee…I didn’t get to view the Blood Moon last evening (cloud cover) but I’m so old I recall seeing the last one back in the early ‘80s and the world didn’t end then ’n it ain’t gonna end now…makes me wonder when we oh so superior humans kill each other off and somehow the world just keeps spinning, what specie then will rise and believe they’re the special ones???
