GLOBAL WARMING TIPPING POINT

"The 13th tipping point is humanity changing back to a balanced interaction with earth that will allow our planet home to support all life in perpetuity."

You may argue, rant and become indignant about whether or not global warming manifests across the globe, but it won't do you any good if what the scientists tell us, is, in fact, true.

However, if you think the next added 100 million Americans as well as the next 2.1 billion people added to the planet by 2040 aren't having an effect on, or there is no such thing as global warming, well, "Golly Andy, I can't figure out why it's so dad burn hot out today."

"It could be that your car's on fire, Gomer," Andy said.

In this discussion on global warming, we discuss "tipping points" as they relate to global warming. What is a tipping point? Last football season, the San Diego Chargers fell behind three touchdowns and a field goal late in the third quarter. They didn't stand a chance of winning. But a pass here, a run there, and a touchdown, then an interception led to a tipping point where their momentum smashed their opponents and by the end of the fourth quarter, the Chargers made a last minute score that won the game.

Things ran smoothly with the planet in 1900, but then the internal combustion engine arrived on the scene. Nothing much happened with 76 million Americans and 1.6 billion humans around the planet. They burned whale oil, coal and wood. But today, with billions of cars and 6.6 billion humans burning billions of gallons of gas, fuel oil, natural gas, wood and coal, these become the factors in the "tipping point" of planetary imbalances.

History shows that scientific advances suffered scurrilous opposition by people who might benefit. The Pope persecuted Galileo for saying the earth revolved around the sun. Church leaders denounced Harvey for claiming blood circulated through the body instead of standing still. Newspapers branded Louis Pasteur a quack for his germ theory. Everyone knew' the Wright brothers couldn't get that new fangled flying machine into the air. Most figured that Lindbergh would not make it across the Atlantic in his "Spirit of St. Louis."
