The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

another crackpot letter to the Editor of this blog

Editor:
.
Here’s a global warming test for you: What is the most important greenhouse gas? (Hint: you get it when you burn a fossil fuel). Correct answer: dihydrogen monoxide.
.
The loose conspiracy between Big Science with its quest for government grants and Nobel prizes and Big Media in search of ratings and Pulitzer prizes, has created an obsession with carbon dioxide in spite of the fact dihydrogen monoxide impacts the greenhouse effect more than CO2.
.
If you believe the environmentalists, there are some scientists out there called deniers who have been bought off by Exxon. But the real people we should be looking at are the scientists who are on the take in the form of government grants. There is competition for research grant money. Getting your environmental scare into the media helps get more grants. The alliance between the media and the scientists has almost created a positive feedback loop (getting more of something causes getting even more of it) like the global warming people talk about.
.
This controversy involves what science can really tell us, religious beliefs, mass communication and the politics and economics of how other people want to spend your money. A great book covering all aspects of the controversy is Climate Confusion by Roy Spencer (a UW Madison PhD in meteorology who is a denier with a sense of humor). By the way Spencer thinks the planet is warming .
.
Finally, I should also add Big Oil has not paid me anything to write this. Instead, they want my money to increase their obscene profits just like they want yours.
