Global warming debate

Recently at my place of employment we have started listening to Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. I know what you are all probably thinking I must be nuts. Well it interesting to hear their point of views about the current situation that we find ourselves in. It seems to be that day after day there is new evidence supporting the opposite of what people are professing to be true, that is Global warming is occurring. It seems to be that research from the biggest supporters has been forged and altered to make the global warming point. I read recently in a chemistry book that was published especially for the University of Utah that during certain months the hole in the ozone is bigger than in other months. Yesterday it was stated that the fog in San Francisco is lessening and this is due to global warming. It is interesting to see however that earlier scientists and experts said that the fog in San Francisco was getting worse and this was due to global warming.

I don't know who is right but I wish that if there were a true problem that we could get the straight answer about what is going on, what is causing it, and how do we overcome it. If global warming is a hoax and we are just being told these things to create mass wealth for the supporters of global warming that they would stop and let the truth be known. I do agree that proper management of resources is vital and essential to all people, I just wish that we wouldn't have to be scared into doing what is right.

another reason I hate politics. Scientists can only do research if they get funding. They get funding through various entities that have political affiliations. The results of the scientists most often agree with the political beliefs of the entity that funded the research. The few times that that is not the case, those scientists will never receive funding and be out of a job. This goes for any field of research. With very few exceptions, results are always biased. That's why we keep seeing contradictory results: opposite forces are funding that research.

I was thinking about what some older people want to do when they get old and for most of them it is to go and see the world. People want to enjoy nature at an old age. Why do people wait to enjoy nature until they're too old to really enjoy it. It's harder for old people to go hiking, rafting, etc. I think it is because it on the bottom of people's priority lists of life.
What happens if they don't take care of nature during their life and when they are old it is lost because it has been destroyed? I think we should enjoy it always and always have it high up on our priority lists of our lives.
