Most scientists believe global warming is a result, at least in part, of human activity. The accelerated rise in the world’s temperatures, they are convinced, is caused by pollutants we are introducing into the atmosphere.
A small group of “deniers” believes that global warming is a natural occurrence, part of a cyclical process in which the earth warms and cools.
Then there is Congressman Lou Barletta, who was quoted yesterday in a reaction to the Pope’s call for action on the global warming issue. Barletta, who represents a portion of Carbon County, says the earth is cooling. Really, he said that.
I have a friend who always refers to the Congressman as Lou Barlooney. I see his point.
