The Ostrich: A Truly Delightful Bird

Global Warming Is For Chicken Littles

I had much anticipation when a fellow art aficionado directed me toward Wildlife Art Journal. Imagine my surprise when I learned that it was just another vehicle to push the tiresome myth of global warming. In his blog entry Todd Wilkinson seemed to compare me to an ostrich with my head in the sand. He points to the 'prestigious scientists' at the National Academies who share his opinion. Thankfully, in only his second blog entry, this bird shows his true colors. He fails, by the way, to mention the scientists who dispute this message and say that the world is, in fact, not warming. (Also, not so many years ago many of the scientists who circulate the fable of warming declared that we were heading for an ice age, and that our earth was doomed to a catastrophic cool down. I guess they had their dart board upside down.) Global warming is a hoax.
The truth is that sometimes we are warmer, sometimes we are cooler. Cycles of the earth's temperature have been observed for many years. A more important fact though, is that this earth of
ours - the home God created for mankind - is a remarkably complex and adaptive thing. It is arrogance to say people are changing the climate.The Lord gives us a glorious home, rich with resources that neither naysayers nor Chicken Littles can take away from me. I fail to see how climate change has anything to do with art.
