I Don’t Think “Consensus” Means What Gore Thinks It Means
“What? You mean, global warming is just a load of crap after all?”
Nah, just kidding. Not about global warming fears being a load of crap; I mean about the likelihood of Big Al ever being susceptible to reason on the subject. He’s not about to admit that his gold mine doesn’t contain anything but pyrite.
But there’s no excuse for people who have at least a modicum of honesty and cognitive ability not to see the light.
First off, check out this article by Dr. David Evans, who has actually worked on carbon emissions models (h/t Cold Fury). Second, note the source of financial support given to “brave” little whistle-blower, James Hansen, at NASA.
And third, ask yourselves this question: even if anthropogenic global warming were to be established as a material threat, based on hard scientific fact, do we really want statist solutions cooked up by monomaniacal political losers and elitist, power-mongering market manipulators?

We don't want them in charge of health care either.

Open Society Institute, my rosey red. George Soros means to "open" our society to his predations.
ReplyDeleteSocialism is still a solution in search of a problem. Every situation it has been invoked to "fix" has steadfastly remained unfixed. AGW is simply the current problem du jour requiring the benign hand of statist control.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, I'd like to hop onto this convenient soapbox (thanks, Paco) and plea for some precision in terminology: socialism and Marxism are not interchangeable words. I refer specifically to His Sublime Holiness Obama (PBUH), who is unquestionably a socialist, but not a Marxist. The latter is a very specific type of the former, and I haven't seen anything to suggest that Obama believes, for example, in the dictatorship of the proletariat.
And I'd bet a paycheck he doesn't subscribe to the withering away of the state.
So critics of Obama (can such people exist? Surely not!) please drop the "M" word from your descriptions. It makes you look hysterical and ignorant.
Who called Obama the "M" word? Isn't that racist?
ReplyDeleteDon't forget that $250,000 grant from the Heinz Foundation that rewarded Hansen for his work on "global warming". I hardly think that was made with no political strings attached.
