Why I Welcome Global Warming.

Every time I turn around, someone is bemoaning the fact that we are experiencing global warming. To tell you the truth, when I look at this past winter's heating bills I have a hard time believing that we are truly experiencing global warming, man-made or not. But if we are, I welcome it.

You see, I am retired, fixed income and all that. It doesn't take a Harvard economist to see that this country, in fact the whole world, is inflating the money supply. For folks like me, that means that in the future my fixed income will buy less and less. If the climate warms up, I will have to buy less fuel for heat. Also, increased CO2 will make plants grow better. That is going to be important because what little money I have will no doubt have to go to pay my taxes and I will have to grow what I eat. More CO2 will help the little plants feed me.

So when I hear someone talking about global warming, I say bring it. I would rather be laying around under a shade tree with a full stomach trying to keep cool than to be freezing to death and starving. Think about it!
