Global Warming

Shunned by the BBC for doubting global warming...

A good read, and a break from all the election stuff.

Back to the election stuff, just wait for carbon tax, global tax for emissions, and the emegeance of a new agency on enviromentalism to deal with just global warming and has powers to inact laws in the name of mankind.

*Makes tinfoil hat* or I could just be about right.

As to the environment, Europe is already in the midst of wrecking their petrochemical industies (do a google on REACH. Heck, do a google on "tin whiskers"), and their CO2 policies have been a failure. Here's hoping that economic damage is so sever in Europe folks in the US will pay attention.

Seriously, Obama wants to reduce us CO2 emmisions to 80% of 1990 levels by 2050 - does he have a clue how utterly devistating that would be to the US economy? But it sure sounds good! It means shutting down massive sections of the US heavy industries, transportation, and automotive industries. Now there's a good idea. If he's serious, it's time to start building a crap-ton of nuclear power plants in a hurry. But wait, nuclear's bad - so we'll just wait for some as-yet to be invented technology to fix it. Same government-think that lead fools to throw away the blueprints to the SR-71 and the Saturn rockets - they were so much better than what we had in the 60's, that by the 80's surely we'll build something twice as good right?? Yea.

Could global warming really be an elaborate, covert liberal scam?

Global warming (or the new catch phrase "Climate change") has become the new religion of the left. If you are a scientist and question it's validity you are branded a heretic and excommunicated.

I don't know if human-caused climate change is fact or fiction. I do know that scientists, media, and politicians closing debate on a topic flies in the face of the accepted scientific method (a never-ending process of research and adjusting and improving your theories.)

For a group that likes to rub their intellectual superiority in the face of all and sundry, it seems here that they are pissing in their own holy water.
