I’ve long contended that, in order for progressives to actually seize control of our country or the world, they would need an enemy that couldn’t be defeated and only grew larger as the battle waged on. They not only need separation in the country, they need a quasi-civil war that’s both prolonged and bloody.
This has to do with the strides taken and those still to come. Blaming Bush for every one of the world’s ills created enough hatred to get a Democrat majority in Congress. Enemy! Oddly enough, the economy that liberals helped crash was called the wrongdoings of capitalism, and thus a Messiah-like figure emerged and was elected to the highest office. Enemy!
Now the greatest stride of them all: the fight to heal the climate. The enemy? Climate change “deniers.” Oh, hate these buffoons that don’t believe in the settled science that is climate change! It’s like not believing in gravity (which, ironically enough, isn’t “settled science” either… but let’s not hurt their feelings).
Here’s a great—and funny to watch—piece on the guilt-driven movement.
Since the 1970s, climate hysteria has spread through the world like a carbon-laden wildfire. It really intensified in the 1990s, after the “ice age” theory of the seventies fell through and was reinvented and relabeled “warming.” And since a few years ago, when, yet again, it was repackaged and resold as “climate change,” much of the guilt-ridden among us have been bending over backwards to save something we couldn’t destroy with carbon if we tried.
It didn’t take long for this issue to become political – right vs. left, with much of the left believing and the right denying. And it’s not that the right is unwilling to believe the frenzied science. It’s just that the left is all too willing to believe any cause presented with a victim.
People believe for one reason but seem to disagree for many. In a country that would dare question the political correctness of Christmas, it boggles the mind that those clinging to liberal philosophy refuse to so much as entertain the thought climate change may be a power play.
And don’t try to sell that black-and-white, either-or horseshit about wanting people to die if you’re not for Obamacare or hating Mexicans if you want the border controlled. Not believing the overstatements about climate change does not mean you want to poison the air and want your children to grow up in a world without polar bears. For fuck’s sake. Get a grip.
I do believe in science. I’m not a religious person. I subscribe fully to the real science (carbon dating, fossil records and real research) stating that the Earth is around 4.5 billion years old. During this time, it has gone through changes we cannot possibly comprehend; changes that were thousands and sometimes millions of years in the making.
Humans have been around for about 200,000 years, and civilization for only around 10,000. The modern industrialization and city-building of the planet has been going on for around 100 years.
I bring this up to urge people to look at the common sense here to see that these climate change proponents are woefully inept in their attempts to gauge the manmade impact on the climate.
It’s estimated that humans contribute around an extra 3% of carbon emissions to the atmosphere, outside of what volcanoes, forest fires and other natural sources emit.
This means that, simply, in around 100 years, our extra 3% has caused enough trapped heat to doom us all if we were to continue consuming at such high rates. Well, if you were to buy into the hysteria.
Buy that! Go ahead! Say it’s the truth and change how you live. Don’t even look at the difference in zeroes between 100 and 4,500,000,000 – or even 100 and 10,000. Cut out our man-caused emissions by 100%, as impossible as that may be, and see what we’re left with.
What? Another 100 years?
If what they’re saying is, in fact, truth, then the world is doomed regardless of what people do to stop it. If the Al Gore Bible is predicting man will cause catastrophe in two decades, then it’s still happening in three without man’s interference.
Maybe, just maybe, if you really feel like employing common sense, “climate change” and “global warming” and the next “ice age” are simply scare tactics being used to seize control.
If a televangelist is caught spending his flock’s donations on a fancy car or a new house or sins of the flesh, he’s labeled a charlatan and ran out of town. Yet, with Gore, he’s using his flock’s money for private jets, large homes, uber-vacations, and his ultimate sin, which is the insane amount of carbon he emits. How concerned is he?
How concerned are any of the people telling us all we should be concerned? Are they cutting back on their emissions or are they simply seeking to make us do so?
The 100-some-odd (elitists) “concerned” folks that showed up to the climate conference did so in high-carbon-emitting vehicles, with no real concern about the climate.
Have you ever asked what’s in it for them if they can transform the world to “green”?
Well, at a quick glance, a lot of people stand to make a lot of money. GE would be one of the most profitable companies on the globe with their green initiatives. GE owns NBC. NBC is Obama’s pocket press. Obama is a “green” proponent. Coincidence?
Unions stand to literally take over the global workforce. Van Jones, SEIU – ring any bells?
All businesses would be, at least, government regulated if not outright controlled by the government.
Al Gore will be a billionaire, and others promoting the idea will be in line to be anointed world authorities. (After all, the climate change can never go away. It has to continue.)
The only “scientists” allowed to speak—like it’s not this away already—would be proponents of climate change.
Other industrial nations, namely India and China, and others with large, obsolete and maybe even illegal oil reserves would be beholden to elite northern Europeans and American progressives. Third-world countries—what’s left of them—would take cataclysmic hits.
It’s not much of an accident that, in order to “heal” the world, there’s a line of willing participants a mile long – each with a jet nicer than the last and enough money to afford solar panels while still opting to use other (non-green) means for electricity.
It will be the government in control of all climate change legislation. It will be the government telling you what type of business you can run and how much it will cost you. They will tell you what type of foods you can eat and in what amount and what type of car you drive. They’re going to eventually tell you how many children you can have. And if you don’t believe that and think it’s just some right-wing loon being hyperbolic, look at what China does for the “greater good.”
I’ll never quite understand the amount of faith people put into politicians to do the right thing. With America’s progressives, they’ve never done the right thing. They’ve catered to select niche groups, throwing them enough bones to train a hungry attack dog, but never providing enough to keep them fed and happy. And as loyal dogs should, these niche groups have repaid their owners with seats of power.
Now, because some people buy into the finger-pointing, false history and fail to use their common sense, we’re trillions of dollars in debt and could all very well be under control of an encompassing government that gets to tell YOU how hot to keep YOUR home in the winter.
But hey, at least you'll feel better knowing the planet isn't melting.
