“Hypocrisy
is the essence of snobbery, but all snobbery is about the problem of
belonging.” — Alexander Theroux
Smart
people continue to do stupid stuff…personifying the Metcalf bromide
about “some people don’t want to be confused with facts
that contradict their preconceived opinions or prejudices.”
Notwithstanding
the Nobel Prize, Oscar, and ubiquitous fawning of the limousine liberal
legions, the empirical reality is Global Warming is an urban legend/myth.
Over
650 international scientists are out of the closet and articulating
their dissent over the folly of man-made global warming bull excrement.

My
chronic criticisms (of over a decade) are insignificant. However, others
(far more credentialed and knowledgeable) are finally being heard.
The
list is long and growing.
What
remains amazing is that smart people (who ought to know better) continue
to enable a scientifically discredited, overwhelmingly expensive, junk
science boondoggle.
California
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger remains captive of liberal lieutenants
to feed the Hollywood myopics fueling the gospel according to Al Gore.
President-elect Barack Obama seems intent on placating his disgruntled
liberal base with the way expensive bone of global warming fanaticism.
Meanwhile,
“real” threats from Iran, North Korea, Russia, China and
wildcard terrorists are only exacerbated by the begrudging acknowledgement
that terrorists have a major “Jones” to deploy biological
weapons of mass destruction. States, national and global economies are
lower than whale poop and bailout mania inevitably will spark big-time
inflation.
Why
do the nattering nabobs continue to feed the fictional global warming
beast?
According
to Dr. Arun D. Ahluwalia at Punjab University and a board member of
the UN-supported International Year of the Planet, “The IPCC
has actually become a closed circuit; it doesn’t listen to others.
It doesn’t have open minds… I am really amazed that the
Nobel Peace Prize has been given on scientifically incorrect conclusions
by people who are not geologists,”
Frankly,
the problem (which most pols are scared spitless to admit is a problem)
is the same challenge scientists now face. Atmospheric physicists James
A. Peden, formerly of the Space Research and Coordination Center in
Pittsburgh, noted, “Many [scientists] are now searching for
a way to back out quietly (from promoting warming fears), without having
their professional careers ruined.”
Despite
the overwhelming contradictory science, the promoters and enablers of
the Global Warming panic lack the courage to admit they were wrong…and
move on.
Dr.
Eduardo Tonni, of the Committee for Scientific Research in Buenos Aires
and head of the Paleontology Department at the University of La Plata,
hit the nail on the head when he candidly said, “The [global
warming] scaremongering has its justification in the fact that it is
something that generates funds.” Follow the money honey…but
wait…what money?
The
Washington
Times recently noted, “It is time to file this theory (Global
Warming) in the dustbin of history…Alarmists are in denial and
running for cover.”
The
650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of UN flacks
who authored the media enabled (hyped) IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers.
Obama
has said he plans to cut U.S. emissions of greenhouse gases, now about
17 percent above 1990 levels, back to 1990 levels by 2020 and then by
80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.
According
to the Guardian, in Britain, European Union officials have proposed
making an 80 percent to 95 percent reduction in greenhouse emissions
by 2050 in exchange for developing countries’ reducing their emissions
by 15 percent to 30 percent over the next decade.

Bush
rejected Kyoto, which sets 2012 targets for 37 developed nations to
cut emissions, because it would cost too much. What was “too costly”
for the Bush administration (given the current global economy) is confiscatory
for the new Obama team.
Global
warming is bogus…to throw billions of dollars that don’t
exist after a media enabled liberal dream quest is counterintuitive
and a cancer that needs to be surgically and finally removed from the
body politic.
