It’s Climate Change, Not Global Warming

            I, for one, am so tired of people who, when it gets extremely cold, complain that global warming is nonsense. Someone used this term initially and, unfortunately, it stuck, no matter how often it was corrected by scientists and meteorologists everywhere.

            There was another one of these fools in the ‘Voice of the People’ section in the New York Daily News on February 18. This is someone who does know the difference between climate and weather. The latter is in one specific location is short-lived. The latter is over a large area and is of a more permanent duration.

            Global warming indicates that the temperature around the world is rising and it cannot and does not get cold anywhere. This is absolute nonsense.

            Without espousing the entire theory, climate change indicates that the climate in large areas around the world changes over time. If it’s humid and temperate in a large area at a certain time, it can become more of a hot desert if the climate changes. Temperatures in some areas of the world will rise over time and in others it will decrease. Since records have been kept since the 1800’s, the average global temperature has steadily risen since the 1990’s, and it’s going higher every year.

At the moment it is extremely cold in the northeast of the United States where we have to deal with the Siberian Express, a weather pattern that originates in Siberia and comes through along with high winds, drastically dropping the wind chill. If you check the temperatures throughout the Northern Hemisphere for January 2015, you would discover that  the northeast United States, Greenland and north central Asia are the only places that are very cold. All other places are above normal and much of Asia is way above normal. This is a signal of a change in climate.

            Anyone can research this theory in more detail anywhere on the internet. I strongly suggest that everyone does research it.

A Week without Kim Kardashian

            Do you get the feeling that if all forms of the media in print and verbal were to stop printing or saying anything related to Kim Kardashian, the industries in question would collapse?

            Think of the multitude of people who are struggling to make a living and are just getting by. She doesn’t do anything but take pictures of herself and makes millions through publicity. It just makes me sick.

For the sake of my sanity and everyone who thinks like me, please give us a rest from Kim Kardashian.

Where the Maxim of the Law is in Reverse

            It is generally known that the adage when pertaining to the law when someone is accused or arrested is that the person is innocent until proven guilty. It is the fundamental principle that, no matter how guilty the person is, even though any obvious evidence, they are innocent until proven guilty when a court passes judgment. This goes for everything, except in matters of sex.

            In all instances regarding sex, the person is guilty unless proven innocent. The list is endless. Three examples come to mind immediately: President Bill Clinton with Monica Lewinsky, Prince Andrew with an underage girl, and Bill Cosby with numerous women.

            The ‘guilty until proven innocent’ belief is so pervasive in our society that periodicals don’t stop printing their opinions on the matter, every celebrity must give their view, every comic must make jokes at the accused’s expense, etc., etc., etc.

            But why is this stance taken on this subject?

            Is it the fascination about sex? Is it that a famous person could have done something against societal mores? Is it that sex is usually what people love to do, they don’t talk about out in the open, but to hear about it concerning a celebrity makes us feel uncomfortable?

            I really do not know. What I do know is that the axiom that the aphorism is backwards. It’s morally wrong. Anyone is in the place of being accused should not be held to ridicule until they are proven to have committed the crime.
