Global warming
I am finding the “media” entertaining right now. The contradictions to prop up global warming are making great humor for talk show hosts. For example, one talk show host who I suspect does not believe in man-caused global warming is having a great time with all the contradictions. He pretends to be completely confused by it all. One year they claim lack of snow is proof of global warming and this year they claim the massive snow fall on the East Coast is proof of global warming. Earthquakes and tsunamis are proof of global warming. As he points out, to those that believe in global warming, everything is fit into their world view. Everything is global warming. Another bit he had fun with is recent statements by science that there has been no significant global warming since 1995 and perhaps even cooling. The study quoted that showed shrinking glaciers wasn't a scientific study and not “peer reviewed” as we had been led to believe. And even admissions that some of the data used for comparison to history might be inaccurate, and that we actually may have had greater “global warming” in the past before CO2 levels we see today. Plus, even a study he found that shows CO2 levels rise after global warming instead of before global warming. Then a recent statement by a scientist prominent in the defense of man-caused global warming that there might actually be a vast disagreement on the whole subject. So what does the media do? Their anchors defend global warming as a pressing reality, even calling those of us who doubt it as foolish, ignorant, or possibly unpatriotic. Sounds more to me like they've got the narrow minds. I don't believe in man-caused global warming as being the extreme danger being shouted out, but I am smart enough to know that I could be wrong. And I am smart enough to know that just because someone jumps up and says that they've found a way to cure global warming and then everyone jumps up and follows them, I am smart enough to know that I might want to ask questions and doubt their solution. It is entirely possible that everyone is just running off a cliff like a bunch of lemmings without even asking if there is a better solution or if the proposed solution will even work.
So if I don't believe in man-caused global warming, why am I building low TDP computers? Because I do believe in learning to better manage our resources. Regulating it isn't the way to do it in my mind. Finding a way to better manage our resources and creating wealth at the same time would be the best way to do it. If there is a profit in it, then surely there will be those that move the economy that way without government intervention.
