I have heard on TV that the amount of energy the whole population of
our planet is using during one year is equal to the amount of energy
which the Earth receives from the sun during just one hour.  If this is
really so, then the energy consumed by humans is less than 0.02% of the
energy received from the sun.  Even if the energy consumption by humans
will go to zero, the Earth will not notice this in any shape or form
and humans are certainly not responsible for the so-called global
warming.

We are so busy drawing horror pictures of global warming that we
neglect to mention some obvious pluses of global warming.  For example,
thawing of Arctic Ocean will allow cheaper and faster shipping from
Europe and Russia to American West coast.  Huge spaces in Siberia and
Canada will become inhabitable and fit for agriculture, mineral
exploration, etc.  On the other hand, they scare us to death that polar
bear would not be able to hunt.  Well, take 1% of additional profits
from above mentioned activities, hire helicopters and fly year-round
food drops for polar bears.  I hope they would not mind getting
ready-to-eat food thrown to them from helicopters.

Much is said about global warming and hurricanes.  Well, the last
record of named hurricanes was established in 1933, year when energy
consumption was the lowest due to depression.  Older people might
remember the drought and heat waves of 1930-ties.  These days,
scientists are scaring us with droughts, while forgetting that droughts
and other pestilence was recorded since Bible times, except then it was
attributed to God.

Carbon dioxide was vilified to such an extent, that everybody forgot
that it is an absolute necessity and if it disappears, all life will
disappear with it, because it is the main component in the
photosynthesis.  It is not harmful to health, so there is no need to
fight it.  We need to fight harmful pollutants, like mercury, sulphur,
etc.  Carbon dioxide is not one of them.  All this does not mean that
it is OK to cut forests or to destroy wild animals habitat; we just
should not confuse apples with oranges.
