Climate change pact

Many people are celebrating the agreement to reduce carbon emissions that was reached in Paris. The people that reached the accord generally are saying that the pact won't stop global warming. So basically people are celebrating an agreement that does nothing but siphon money out of wealthier economies. Now even taking the global warming alarmists at face value this celebrating seems absurd.

The truth is a funny thing enough people claim there is a disaster looming and pretty soon something that is hotly debated becomes consensus.

Climate science may be a real scientific discipline but I remember how many of these climatologist claimed throughout the 1970's that we were heading into a new ice age.

They say scientist I say charlatans who have found a cash cow in a grant process that reward those supposedly protecting us from certain doom but a truly only protecting us from having too much extra cash.

Racism

The murders in Charleston last week have fueled many accusations of America's racism. From lawmakers to pundits we have heard that these 9 lives lost point to our countries continued racist reality. Some seem to claim that this is proof of a need to do much more to combat racism. While other people almost completely dismiss race as having any part in this tragedy.

I don't think that we can see the direction of our country from the acts of one foolish racist. Racist is a singular noun where racism is a collective verb. When I look at the people I know there are several that I might label racist but the promising thing is how shocking it is to hear them utter racist comments. Another hopeful sign is the fact that almost no one younger than myself expresses racist ideas.

Let's try not to use the actions of one fool to label our whole country.
