Grocery Store Tabloids Can't Be Wrong - Global Warming is Real and Here to Stay They Say

Global Warming Theory specifically states that; the emissions of CO2 by humans is causing severe and irreversible climate change, a.k.a. a tipping point. These same alarmists tell us that the oceans will rise and there will be more disease, more droughts, more famine, and extreme weather in the process. Some say that our species is doomed, and many other species will not survive. As far as I'm concerned that's a bunch of poppycock, but let's go ahead and talk about this for a moment shall we?

Not long ago, there was a very interesting editorial in the Wall Street Journal on December 2, 2011. The gentleman who wrote the article, and I don't recall his name, made mention of the hypocrisy of the scientific community claiming that Global Warming is a fact, and already agreed upon by climatologists around the world. Indeed, we know that that isn't true, and as a coordinator for a think tank which happens to operate online, I can tell you of many scientists who are rather uncertain about the whole concept of mankind's CO2 output causing the climate to change, and increases in temperature.

There is one Berkeley physicist, and famous author of the book; "Physics for Future Presidents," who had looked at all the previous data and within the margin of error believes that the surface temperature of the landmass has increased 1.6 degrees F in the last 60 years. Of course, this is a lot less than the global warming alarmists had led us to believe with their hockey stick graph. We also know there was the controversy known as; "Climate Gate" - which noted several scientist talking back and forth agreeing to disagree on the subject, and even considering how to manipulate the data and figures to serve their scientific assessment and political agenda.

That is a scary thought indeed, sometimes when we talk about Global Warming, and I am talking with someone from academia who guarantees me that it is real, I just want to say to them; "The National Inquirer Announces Global Warming is Real, so it must be." Now you might think that's funny, but that's about the level of credibility I give to the scientific community for ramming this political agenda down the throats of the global community.

What I find fascinating is every time there is a storm, tornado, hurricane, Typhoon, drought, or anything of the sort such as a weather anomaly in California, high winds for instance - those who believe in this theory come out of the woodwork to remind us that they are right. In fact, if the weather is too hot, or too cold, they claim it is from this phenomena, and therefore, it proves their theory correct. That's utterly ridiculous, and I think everyone either knows it, or should have known it. Please consider all this and think on it.

A Discussion on the Controversy Over Automated Checkout Lines in Grocery Stores and Unemployment


Early in 2011 President Obama made a comment about automated systems such as ATMs and automated grocery store checkout systems. His political opponents gave him a hard time when he explained that sometimes advances in technology hurts jobs, and other times make our workers more productive and competitive. We all know this to be a fact, and although he was probably using his statement as a reason for high unemployment rates, or perhaps an excuse - the point should be well taken.

Not more than a couple weeks later President Obama attended a meeting and gave a speech at the Carnegie Mellon robotics college about how future robotics would help our technologically advanced society and civilization. Apparently, too many people took what he said the wrong way, and out of context and he felt he needed to shore up the negative publicity. In doing so, he and the professors at Carnegie Mellon explained to the American people how our future was unfolding now, and how robotics will make us more efficient in everything we do.

Indeed, another reason to study math and science and consider a field in robotics, which was a good pitch for the college as well. Three weeks later the West Coast grocery store chain; Albertsons, announced that it would be getting rid of its automatic checkout lines. The company that makes these automated checkout systems watched their stock deteriorate, but then gave a press compress explaining how grocery stores were only one of the many types of stores and industries that use their systems, their stock climbed back up.

Perhaps, you've seen these automated checkout systems in Lowe's and Home Depot as well. There are also in Walmart and many other places. Now then, many people understand that having 4 or 5 of these automatic checkout systems being monitored by one checker, human, means that less people have a job. Indeed, human shoppers have not found these to be at their favorite way to buy their goods, as many are not used to it or are merely adverse to change. Albertsons realizing that it's union grocery store clerks didn't like them, and that the shoppers didn't particularly like them either, decided to take them out.

Now then, this doesn't mean in the future that you will not have an automatic checkout system which scans all the groceries you have put inside your cart, as you wheel it through some sort of scanning system, as that probably is the future, especially considering RFID tags. Still, and luckily for many people who are unemployed it will be a while, because the shoppers don't trust these systems yet, the unions hate them, and our unemployment is rather high. Nevertheless, that will be our future. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on.
