Climategate!

Here’s an “Inconvenient Truth” for you … the warmest year recorded globally was back in 1998.

ELEVEN years ago.

Over the intervening years, global warming alarmists have sought to stifle debate about whether or not anthropogenic global warming (AGW) was threatening the planet. (Anthropogenic means man-made, in this case supposedly by carbon dioxide emissions.)

We’ve watched with disgust as AGW alarmists shoved their beliefs down the throats of little school children with mandated screenings of Al Gore’s propaganda film “Inconvenient Truth.”

We’ve listened to them argue that there was no point in debating, because the “science was settled.”

“There is a clear attempt to establish truth not by scientific methods but by perpetual repetition.”
- Richard S. Lindzen, Ph.D. Professor of Meteorology, MIT

We’ve cringed at reports of them bullying dissenting scientists, getting them ex-communicated from important panels and publications, killing research funding and destroying careers.

We’ve been ridiculed and reviled by believers for trying to speak the truth even as reports emerged of alarmists hiding, lying about and even destroying data that didn’t support their claims.

And just a few weeks ago, President Obama hit out at “the naysayers, the folks who would pretend that this is not an issue” and warned that they (we) would surely turn to “underhanded tactics” to try and stop climate change legislation from passing in the Senate.

FINALLY, mainstream news organizations have begun to report what a lot of us have known for some time — i.e., that global warming may not be caused by man. In fact, it may not be happening at all. And even if it is happening, so what? The climate has been warmer in the past and all evidence points to those centuries having been very productive and healthy ones for humans.

Last June, the House narrowly passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act. The 1,200 page Waxman-Markey bill is commonly referred to as the “cap and trade” bill. If the Senate passes it and Obama signs it, it will have a devastating impact on the American economy. For example, it will damage the coal industry which supports some low-income rural areas of the country.

It will also markedly raise energy costs for all Americans. The Heritage Foundation sets the cost per household at $1,870 per year; the Treasury Department sets the number at $1,761 per household. A lot of the increase is expected to come in the form of a rise in the cost of electricity, directly in your home electric bill and indirectly in higher prices as businesses pass on their increased electric costs to consumers.

These higher costs will hit lower, working and middle class folks much harder than those making six figures … like our representatives in Congress or those who make more than $250,000 a year and therefore “need” to be taxed more and more and more … because the fact that they’re already footing the bill for nearly half of all taxes paid is somehow not good enough to satisfy the class-envy of Democrat voters.

What a shockeroo that this legislation would also happen to result in Democrats grabbing more power for the federal government, steering even more porky tax dollars to their own pet industries and campaign donors, and further eroding the country’s free economy and industrial landscape.

We’re talking about 1,500 regulations and mandates over at least 21 federal agencies that would require thousands of new federal employees and cost BILLIONS to implement. It is to energy what ObamaCare is to health care.

Just one of the odious regulations buried in the bill would require EVERY HOMEOWNER to get APPROVAL from the GOVERNMENT before they could put their house on the market! You want to upgrade, downgrade, retire or just sell because you’ve got a job opportunity elsewhere? You desperate to sell because you need the money for urgent expenses? Tough.

Before you could even list your house, some government bean counter would first have the absolute power to decide if your house met federal energy efficiency regulations and what you would have to do to make up any short-comings. You could easily be required to replace windows, doors, insulation, appliances etc. with more energy efficient models BEFORE you would be ALLOWED to sell your own home.

Let me just think how rife THAT plan is for corruption and graft … or how lengthy and burdensome any supposed appeal process might be. On second thought, let me not. My head might explode. I mean … what if you couldn’t afford all those improvements and couldn’t get a loan and really had to sell … well, gosh. That would be too damn bad.

Because OHMYGODGLOBALWARMING!!!!

But what if ALL of this evil power mongering is in the name of something that isn’t happening. Talk about your Inconvenient Truths.

Where the heck is global warming – Oct 16 2009
One of the hacked emails remarks on the record breaking COLD we had in October. These are pics I took out our back door.

Meanwhile, Environmental Eugenicists (like the “good” folks at the United Nations) are using “preventing climate change” as their latest big excuse to push birth control and abortions on women around the world. Last year for Mother’s Day, the London Times ran an article entitled “Having Large Families Is An Eco-Crime!”

According to the “think tank” called Optimum Population Trust, “The effect on the planet of having one child less is an order of magnitude greater than all these other things we might do, such as switching off lights. An extra child is the equivalent of a lot of flights across the planet. The greatest thing anyone in Britain could do to help the future of the planet would be to have one less child.”

To which JavelinaBomb wisely remarked, “So you’re saying that for every child we have, we have to kill one of the liberal sacred cows to balance out our carbon footprint? That’s silly, most of them have HUGE carbon footprints. Al Gore by himself is worth like a peewee football league. And who says we can stop when we get just one? We’ll be hav
