"I happen to believe in the people and believe that the people are supposed to be dominant in our society. That they, not government, are to have control of their own affairs to the greatest extent possible with an orderly society." - Ronald Reagan

Sizing up the locals.

Posted: July 2nd, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Buffalo | 1 Comment »

I have to confess, my grasp of regional politics leaves something to be desired. To some degree, my ignorance reflects the greater indifference of the community.  National issues tend to crowd out local ones – in conversation, in news, in radio – even when they pale in actual impact.  Not that I excuse my own shortcomings, mind you.

The challenge now is finding trustworthy news and commentary, and I have to admit the task is somewhat daunting.  Not only are there far fewer sources, but my own lack of knowledge hinders my ability to evaluate commentary.  What sounds plausible in ignorance is not always reasonable.

Recommendations are appreciated, of course.

    I’m a liberal and I’m tenlilg you the “Man Made” part is not a complete fact. This issue has been politicized to the point its actually real doing damage to the actual solution. Let me explain. The Greenhouse Effect is based on emission of Greenhouse Gases, which come from natural and man made sources. Labeling this cause as the sole reason for global warming is the problem. Here’s the proof the sun is not the only source of global heat for our planet. The earth’s core also generates heat for the planet as well. Currently, you’ve heard of the “Ring of Fire” in the Pacific. There has been an increase of geological activities in this region as the North America plate move toward Asia one. The movement causes additional pressures and causes volcanic activities under the Pacific Ocean floor. Volcanic activity under Pacific heats the Ocean water which warms weather conditions on land. The Oceans set weather patterns for the globe. Man has nothing to do with the movement of the Continental Plates. More research need to be done without the influence of politics.
