Global warming has quickly become one of the most heated issues in America (pun intended). Rising temperatures and melting icebergs are indisputable evidence that the Earth is warming, but is this global heat wave a man-made crisis or just overblown hype?

    Global Warming Predicted in 1976

    I remember doing a term paper back in 1976 on sources of energy . My main reference, written by a physicist, said that we would run out of oil but long before that, the earth would warm due to the characteristics and volume of CO2. But we weren't ready to hear that because, at the time, it was viewed as a pro- nuclear , bogus argument.

    Now statistical anthropologist argue that it would be more cost-effective to fight global hunger than global warming . Certainly, global warming, if it exists, will produce winners and losers but my question is what are we not hearing right now?
