Population Growth "Alarmism" as a Deep Political Control Device

[Greg Burnham]

Unlike other greenhouse gases CO2 is transparent so CO2 allows incoming sunlight to reach the surface of the Earth. What it does trap are the infrared rays that would normally escape back into space at night but are instead absorbed by CO2 molecules. That is why the high nighttime temps are occurring more frequently in terms of record nighttime HIGH lows. Of course this is all enhanced by a larger human population functioning as an industrial polluting society. The most highly industrialized part of Earth is the agricultural sector which produces huge amounts of CO2 every time the vast acres dedicated to producing more & more food are plowed under to speed up oxidation of plant material to make next year's plantings grow more efficiently.

The "transparency" of C02 has nothing at all to do with this, Gary. There is a gas called, Dimethylsulfide (or DMS for short). This gas is responsible for well over 90% of the release of oceanic sulphuric gas, and accounts for a significant amount of cloud formation because it oxidizes (in the atmosphere) resulting in sulfate aerosols, which in turn seed cloud condensation. Its relationship to increased C02 is a subject you would perhaps do well to study.

Gary Severson said: "It's too bad people can't read the Minneapolis Star-Tribune weather section where every day meteorologist Paul Douglas explains why over-population is creating global warming."

Ok, so now we're at least somewhat back on topic. Why not question this paradigm, Gary? Why immediately buy into the doom and gloom scenario that we have all been led to believe since 1798? What if it's wrong? Isn't it worth questioning? Because if it is NOT wrong and there really isn't enough to go around and if too many people mean too much global warming, then what shall we do? Who should be restricted from having offspring? Shall we adopt the Communist China solution and limit the number of children that a couple can have to only two? What shall we do to those parents who don't comply with this mandate? Shall we imprison them? Of course, that won't solve the problem since we still will have one or more "too many" in that family. Shall we also murder the offspring that were born over the limit?

What shall we do to comply with the Severson Vision of Population Control? How will it work?

It is easy to point fingers at problems (real or imagined). It is quite another thing to offer solutions.
