A Glenn Beck special... Coming to CNN, Wednesday May 2 at 7 PM ET and repeated at 9 PM ET. Check out the preview... "Media hypes global warming"
Who's responsible for global warming and what can be done to fix it? Why would someone be harassed just for raising questions? Glenn Beck takes on the media hype surrounding the global warming debate and asks whether some proposed solutions would do more harm than good.
I'm going to try to make this short and sweet...Okay, maybe not... I have a problem with the whole "Church of Climate Change" and more so, Kyoto. Some are stating that The debate is over about whether or not climate change is real. I'm not as convinced as David Susuki is. Nor will the latest report from the IPCC with its "explosion of new data" convince me. Now as sad as it may sound, even the threat of the Glaciers MAY vanish from Alps by 2050 will not help me. I'm just that evil. Now before you go off on a rampage like all the other fear mongering folks in the MSM and IPCC just for starters, let me try to explain my reasoning.
Every time I hear anyone speak on a subject with all the zeal and zest of a used car salesman or even worse, a TV Evangelist(thus why I refer to this topic as "The Church of Climate Change"), I tend not to take it too seriously. Everyday I read a new revelation as to how climate change is killing off this, destroying that and a prediction of what will happen in the future if we don't take drastic steps now. All in the name of science. Sorry but I have heard this all before(PDF file). The other problem is, the debate is not over. Many scientist do not agree and some of the so-called facts don't jive at all. Heck, there is even this little ditty on youtube. Now if that is not enough to make you scratch your head, lets get into the economic part of climate change. The infamous Stern Review would have you believe that we must spend 1% of Global GDP or 350 billion now and 1 trillion by 2050 to prevent the catastrophe that is climate change. This article soundly refutes Stern. Here is where I really get skeptical on the economics of it all. First of all I read this story, which explains who is making megatons of money and who ain't. Then low and behold I see this article about "C.E.O's of 10 major corporations urged the U.S. Congress on Monday to require limits on greenhouse gases this year, contending voluntary efforts to combat climate change are inadequate". Now is that not a coincidence or what? And about the debate thing that is over... well maybe not. When people try to threaten others to change their views, I really start to wonder, more than ever. Now toss in the God Father of Kyoto... Maurice Strong and his dubious record.....Yup I'm a skeptic/flat earther/asshole/whatever you want to call me....
In closing, you now know why I am a skeptic, besides, I just can't believe we could ever cause this! Poor Polar Bear....
Lots of H/T's here... ABFreedom, Lone Pony, Bloviating Zeppelin, Gayle
I'm on a roll why stop now....
Some may remember just 30 years ago when climatologists were predicting an impending ice age that they said would cause pestilence, hunger and economic ruin. At that time they were proposing to cover the Arctic ice cap with black soot to melt the ice.
Today climatologists have forgotten what they said 30 years ago and are predicting global warming that they say will cause flooding, fires, pestilence, hunger and economic ruin. Now they are proposing to inject the atmosphere with sulfur dioxide to create a pollution shade to cool the Earth.
A little common sense goes a long way.
Just as overconfidence in a teenager may lead to unwise acts, overconfidence in projections of climate change may lead to inappropriate actions on the parts of governments, industries and individuals, according to an international team of climate researchers.
"Climate researchers often use a scenario approach," says Dr. Klaus Keller, assistant professor of geosciences, Penn State. "Nevertheless, scenarios are typically silent on the question of probabilities."
I'm on a mission from dog, mans best friend, and she has told me to go forth and scream from the tallest mountains,
I AM A NON BELIEVER!
So here for your pleasure, or not, yet another "climate change" related article.
This is a very interesting read for the skeptics out there. Here are a few samples I have selected from the article by Tom DeWeese, President of the American Policy Center and the Editor of The DeWeese Report.
Imagine living in a world where no one is allowed to think independent thoughts or take independent actions. Only pre-approved human response would be acceptable. To break the rule and engage in forbidden thought would result in terrible retribution, perhaps leading literally to ones destruction.
This is not just an Ivory Tower intellectual exercise. Those who practice it believe the only way we can have a well-ordered society is for everyone to think and act in unison. Those who break the rules and think for themselves or take action contrary to the "consensus" are simply causing havoc on all of their well-laid plans.
The last time human kind was strapped into such a mental straight jacket was during the Inquisition of the Dark Ages. The period was called the Dark Ages because it was an era of ignorance, superstition and social chaos and repression. Anyone caught questioning the doctrine or power of the church was labeled a heretic and found his or her way to the rack or into the middle of a fire while tied to a stake. The church, of course, was practicing its own brand of globally acceptable truth.
The global warming message is literally everywhere. It indoctrinates our children in the classroom. It flows from the advertising messages of corporations, in their corporate social responsible ad to sell their environmentally-responsible products (for which research and development was probably paid for with federal tax dollars). Huge numbers of Hollywood stars and international political leaders have endorsed the mantra of the church of global warming. Billions and billions of dollars are being spent to influence literally every corner of the earth to accept global warming as a fact.
As George Orwell once wrote: "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
