Global Warming: Sahara The Seal
FINDING new and imaginative ways to work global warming into a story leads the Mail to Sahara the seal.
The clue is in the name, because Sahara, a hooded seal, has not been in the Arctic but off the coast of Morocco.
Found on a beach in Morocco, scientists took Sahara to the National Seal Sanctuary in Cornwall and fitted him with a satellite tracking system.
Once back in the water, the scientists were able to watch him swim to the coast of Spain.
Says the Mail: “Sahara’s latest trip south has baffled scientists, who are wondering whether global warming could be to blame.”
Such is man’s impact on nature and wildlife…

Another example of here of what is so very wrong with the pseudo-science behind global warming. Take an anomolous attribute and do all that is possible to trace it back to some aspect that supports the spurious contentions of global warming’s dire effects on the world.
This leads to the question (logically, if not of course illogically):
Human civilization, which has developed over the past 10,000 years or so as the Wiscosinian glacial episode went into decline–and continues today–is largely made possible because of the very global warming that is still in progress. Our society and our huge population is a direct result of the moderating climate. The rampant flourishing of humans has lead to our relatively recent industrial and technological revolutions, which continue to evolve, and are accused by a large segment of our population to be the cause of present-day global warming. Thus, the orginal, natural global warming of millenia ago, gave rise to human domination of the planet, which in turn is viewed increasingly as the driving force behind modern global warming. Is this not the ultimate positive feedback loop? Would not this be the case of global warming causing more global warming by fostering the growth of human civilization?
I propose that the climate change of today is simply the continuation of natural processes that initiated 12,000 - 18,000 years ago. It is not a linear progression, but recent times have seen the resurgence of a general global warming that predates our earliest villages. Why must we now go into the self-incrimination phase of existence and look for ways to blame ourselves to account for what is and has been going on naturally?
