The Issues

WHAT ABOUT GLOBAL POLUTION?<
© 2008 by G. Edward Griffin

I recently received the following email:

Hello Mr. Griffin,
I read a few of the articles about global warming on your site, and it seems that there are many more people who oppose the idea than those who don't.

While I'm inclined to agree with the position of some who say the government is encouraging it as a way to enact more laws, hence reduce our freedoms that much more! However, I can't help but look at the issue from another standpoint, namely global pollution!

I don't think there's a soul who could deny that our planet is indeed polluted and that there is hardly a clean body of water anywhere to be found. I used to eat a lot of fish, but now refrain because of the Mercury contamination of sea life. There are toxins in our food supplies and industrial waste is everywhere!

So, while there may be a question about the veracity of global 'warming', I hardly see how there can be any question about global pollution. And in that context I believe human life is every bit as endangered......if not more so! Could this global warming be a red herring to take the focus away from global pollution? Something to think about!

This was my reply:

Hello Mary.
I agree that global pollution is a serious problem, far more serious than warming (which is a non-problem). The fact that the totalitarians are pushing warming rather than pollution is revealing. Pollution can be controlled by local ordinances and education whereas stopping supposed warming requires draconian measures that require the loss of personal freedom and mammoth intervention in our life styles, economic output, travel, and every other aspect of our lives. That is a dead giveaway that these people have a hidden agenda that has very little to do with the environment.

Thanks for really caring about our world.
