[Vision2020] "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"

Dear Fellow Oil Hogs-

"Within a century the melting could lead to summertime ice-free ocean 
conditions not seen in the area in a million years, the group said Tuesday."

Above quote from this web link:

Global warming?  Just a questionable theory, like evolution!  There are too 
many gaps in the fossil record to really say for sure for the heck happened!  
And don't forget, how do you explain the "evolution" of a complex molecule like 
DNA?  Those silly scientists!  And the "law of gravity," also, just a theory, 
supported by sampling a very small percentage of all the possible samples of 
matter in the billions of light years of volume and billions of years of time 
passed in our universe...Well, that is, unless the universe popped into 
existence just a few thousand years ago, which is entirely "possible," with all 
memories and evidence to indicate otherwise just a fantastic trick to test our 
faith.  That's what those pre-homo sapien sapien hominid remains (my "mother" 
Lucy!) from millions of years ago are there for, correct?

What do these elitist scientists know, anyway?  Why, they have no "absolute 
proof" that suddenly gravity will not suddenly weaken, that evolution resulted 
in human intelligence, nor that the Earth will not soon become colder, making 
a fool of those who think the best scientific evidence indicates major climate 
change will likely kick humanity's ass in the next century or two, caused in 
large part by human activity.

I hope "intelligent design" is true, in some sense.  Then perhaps whatever or 
whoever is behind "intelligent design" can now induce the advent of 
"intelligence" on Earth.  As implied by the comedy act once done by Tily Tomlin, "The 
Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe," whether "intelligence" 
exists seems open to question.  Current human responses from the most powerful 
in the bastions of  political/economic/ideological hegemony to the coming 
crisis caused by melting ice raising ocean levels appears to indicate minds ruled 
by instinctual short sighted immediate gain, a characteristic of "lower" life 
forms, rather than leaving behind a better world for future generations not 
yet born.

Now, on to my fire breathing CO2 belching dragon (usually referred to as a 
"car") to be a good American consumer!

"Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"

Admiral David G. Farragut Mobile Bay,
Alabama August 5, 1864.
