15 - Exposing Environmentalist Error

The earth’s weather is produced largely by three natural phenomena.

The first phenomenon is the sun, which warms the air and soil, causing the air to rise and evaporate water from on the earth. The sun also causes leaves to transpire water vapor from within the leaf itself. As the air rises it moves toward the North Pole in the north and the South Pole in the south. The air cools as it rises and sinks about the thirtieth latitude. Air at the thirtieth latitude rises due to the warming of the surface and moves to the sixtieth latitude where it moves to the north and south poles and moves back down on the earth.

Second, the earth also rotates, which causes air in the northern hemisphere to have a westerly flow and to mix at the zero, thirty, and sixty degree latitudes. In the southern hemisphere there is an easterly flow with air mixing at the zero, minus thirty (-30), and minus sixty (-60) degree latitudes.

Third, the earth is tilted on its axis, which further causes a mixing of air currents and peek warming at various latitudes as the earth races around the sun. This is what causes the weather and industrialization has little affect, if any on the energy output of the sun, rotation of the earth or the till\t of the earth.

There are some other considerations. Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is heavier than air and moves with the air currents. It is not capable of forming a canopy to reflect heat back to earth.

All the greenhouses that I know of use auxiliary heat to keep the greenhouse warm in the winter. Greenhouses allow the heat to escape out into the atmosphere and do not allow the heat to be reflected back by either the glass or the plastic. It is the condensation of water vapor on the inside of the glass that reflects any heat back into the greenhouse. Likewise, cloud cover will reflect heat back to earth keeping the earth warmer at night that it would be otherwise without a cloud cover.

An increase in CO2 would increase oxygen production by plants which each one of us breathes. Therefore, there is no global warming due to CO2 gas. If there is global warming it is because the sun is putting out more radiant energy and has been observed to vary in intensity over time. The melting of ice in the northern and southern extremities of the earth could be accomplished by a redistribution of earth’s heat by air current from the equator to these areas.

Rejecting many of the environmentalists’ agenda and overturning many of the inane environmental laws would be A Good Choice . . . for Ohio and for America. As U.S. Senator I would work to overturn such foolish laws and to de-fund many of the associated bureaucracies, which deal with the enviroment.

There are now only 15 more days until Ohio Voters can make A Good Choice on Tuesday, May 2nd in the Democratic Primary Election!
