Lies = Pain
If you need any more proof that the global warming hysteria is dangerous talk, look no further than this article where so called journalists meet to talk about ramming it down our throats even more.
“It’s surreal to have pre-eminent scientists tell us very seriously that civilization as we know it is over,” Blakemore said. “The scale is unprecedented. It touches every aspect of life.”
For one thing, it’s becoming clear that global warming is going to cost — big-time — across all sectors of the economy.
“All the major stakeholders are going to take a hit — unions, the energy industry, everybody,” Fialka said.
“The public debate is lagging way behind scientific consensus, which is as strong as the consensus on the link between smoking and cancer,” said author Eugene Linden, who penned a recent book on the issue called “The Winds of Change; Climate, Weather and the Destruction of Civilizations.”
According to Linden and Blakemore, the global warming issue has been the subject of a massive, industry-sponsored disinformation and propaganda campaign aimed at creating the perception that there is still a scientific debate on the basic facts of global warming.
“We have been spun by Exxon and Peabody Coal,” Blakemore said, comparing the situation to the long-running effort by tobacco companies to create uncertainty about the health risks of smoking.
Not only is it a lie that oil companies have funded a propaganda campaign against the global warming argument, there is no credible study that second hand smoke causes cancer or kills people. None. But once again, the lies spread by the anti-smoking fanatics have robbed millions of people of their freedom to smoke, just as millions of people world wide will lose much of their freedoms and livelihood over this madness.
It’s not a joke. Imagine having to pay huge fines and taxes because some politicians said their astrology chart said America’s Moon was in Jupiter. That’s what this nonsense amounts to. Once an ideology takes root in the political world, it gets ugly. History is replete with examples, from fascism, communist, etc. And all of this is based on pseudo-science. The so-called overwhelming consensus has never been proven to exist. But the media keeps talking about it as if it means something. It doesn’t.
Scientists are often wrong. Scientists are just as prone to being corrupt or lying as any other group. They are not some priestly class. They are badly paid nerds.
And when the climate fails to get bad, like they propose, they can claim it’s because they got society to change in time. But in doping so, poverty and calamity will prevail.
We live in the most prosperous age of the human race. And at a time where we have advanced so far, we are about to be forced to go back to a time where most people had a hard scrabble life.
Are we going to let that happen? We the people need to speak out against this madness before it takes too much root.
UPDATE: Orson Scott Card has a great essay on this subject.
The most aggravating thing about this is that not one of the things they want to do, even all taken together, with stop or even slow global warming…according to their own studies. So why do them at all, except for enviro-religious reasons?
As you say: power, money, control.
There is no known “solution” to global climate change. None. We will simply have to live with it. Why not spend some money on how to do so instead of trying to hold back the tide, like King Canute?
It would be risible if there wasn’t so much power and influence behind this scam.Posted by on 03/14 at 04:17 PMOnce the political class grab onto something, pain follows. Needless pain.
Posted by on 03/14 at 04:28 PMWell, I finally read Scott’s essay, and whoops, he makes the same points as I do. Read, then comment…good rule to follow.
Posted by on 03/15 at 11:34 AMWe’re all on the same page. What’s certain is, we citizens who aren’t suckered by the big lie need to continue to fight back against this creeping fascism, because that’s what it is.
They want everyone to give up their lifestyle and pare down to the bone and follow a bunch of insane, restrictive edicts or face penalties. Gee, what does that remind you of?
