Time and Time Again

I found the recent cover of Time magazine that associated the flag raising at Iwo Jima with the junk science of global warming offensive. How dare that liberal rag equate the sacrifice and courage of our forces in World War II to the political football of global warming.

This is not the first time that Time has sounded the "global climate upheaval" alarm. In June of 1974 Time warned all of us that another Ice Age was coming. Well Time, which is it? Are we freezing or burning up?

I know for a fact that I'm burning up! The man that I am named for, my uncle, died at Iwo Jima after having survived the D-Day landing in France. That's right, my uncle fought in Normandy and then at Iwo Jima. He was a medic and died attempting to save the lives of other courageous men. He fought and died for the freedoms which many, like Time magazine, abuse and twist into political sewage.

Global warming is not proven - it's hardly a decent theory. The facts are the Earth gets colder and the Earth gets warmer. Mainly due to solar activity which correlates much better with temperature than greenhouse gases. Until we nuke the place, the Earth will continue to go through warming and cooling cycles.

If Time magazine wants to make a positive impact on the environment, stop printing the magazine. That should reduce the heat by a few degrees.
