That, in retrospect, might really be the bad news. === Either way, global warming is probably going to be bad news. There are several reasons in my opinion why there have been die hard skeptics, including myself. 1) Al Gore was absolutely the wrong spokesman for the original message. His overall lack of credibility and borderline hysteria made him a poor messenger. 2) It is abundantly clear that there have been many past instances of global warming/cooling that demonstrably had nothing to do with fossil fuel emissions. Aren't you a die-hard skeptic because of your investments in fossil fuel? === Not at all. As a matter of fact I've always been an advocate of alternative energy strategies because I regard it as the right thing to do for several different reasons. I'm in a nearly ideal climate for solar power and will probably end up with panels on my roof one of these days as the total system cost continues to decrease and reliability/longevity increases. Fossil fuel is still a good investment however and I'll dedicate some significant percentage of assets to it as long as the returns are there. There's only so much oil in the ground and it will continue to be valuable as a lubricant and industrial feedstock. Additionally, natural gas could turn out to be the ultimate clean fuel as fuel cell technology improves and diesel to gas conversion becomes more common. |
