In spite of all the doom and gloom, it’s obvious that man-made climate change is nothing but a myth. The National Academy of Sciences says that “because of climate change the cities and homes of millions of Americans will be under water, maybe sooner than expected, and the process can’t be stopped.” The World Bank says, “Climate change could thrust 100 million into deep poverty by 2030,” and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development says, “The $62 billion flowing into developing countries just isn’t enough.” Although the World Bank and the Academy scientists can’t put a date on the end of days for so many Americans’ way of life, Al Gore, the man who in 2005 said the earth would burn up in 10 years tells us, “Houston will be under water in 1,000 years.”
Evidently Mr. Gore and the rest are completely unaware of the new technology we’ll have during the next 1,000 years. Since the Wright Brothers’ first flight, just 112 years ago, modern technology has put a man on the moon, explored the possibility of colonizing Mars, and worked unheard of medical and technological miracles, yet liberal Henny-Penny Democrats are running around all panicky over carbon emissions and rising sea levels. Alaska’s Exit Glacier where Obama said, “This glacier’s melting right before our eyes”, has actually been melting for 200 years, while according to the latest report the infamous Antarctic sea ice is actually increasing instead of melting.
Weather’s been going on for billions of years, often cataclysmically, before man came on the scene, yet suddenly it’s such a high priority that Obama calls it America’s top national security threat. National security means protection from coercion or attack by foreign invasion or international terrorists, which of course has nothing to do with weather. The whole idea of anthropogenic climate change is a myth, just like the so-called “greenhouse effect” liberals are so fond of talking about. A greenhouse has a solid, clear cover that traps heat. The atmosphere does not trap heat as gas molecules cannot form surfaces to work as greenhouses. Molecules, as in liquids and solids, must be in contact to form surfaces, which they are not.
Freeman Dyson, former Princeton University professor of physics, nuclear engineering, quantum electrodynamics, and climate studies, says, “Climate change is not a scientific mystery but a human mystery. How does it happen that a whole generation of scientists are so blind to obvious facts?” and, “What we’re really talking about is not climate change but carbon emissions, and when talking about carbon emissions we’re really talking about pollution, which is separate from climate change. One can be solved and the other can’t, but for some reason liberals can’t understand that.” In the meantime climate and green vegan alarmists have literally cost people hundreds of thousands of jobs in the gas and coal industry.
University of Colorado Climate Specialist Roger Pielke calls the whole concept “noble cause corruption,” fabricated by those who not only love being seen as ‘saving the planet,’ but who realize that total control and taxing of everything carbon-related would give them more money and power than anything since the Magna Carta. If one reads the real climate data instead of that which is ponied up by the Goddard Space Science Institute and the National Oceanic and Space Administration (neither of which will honor Congressional subpoenas for the original data), there’s actually been a cooling trend for the past 18 years, with some of the most severe winters in recent memory.
In 2012 the Carbon Engineering Company committed $15 million dollars toward research for reclaiming carbon emissions and turning them into graphene, a substance stronger than steel. Who’s to say we couldn’t build a graphene seawall around those 414 low-lying cities and towns, or extend them out over the ocean on already proven platform-type structures which are mounted on concrete legs, anchored directly to the sea bed, and designed for depths up to 1,700 feet.
Skeptics ask if all these things are economically feasible, and they would be if they’d take some of the $29 million they’re spending on new campaign ads for Obama Care; the $37 billion they hand out to governments who hate us like China, Iran, and Pakistan; or the untold billions spent on freebies for another 20 to 30 million illegal immigrants invading our borders and use them to solve real-life problems instead of creating imaginary ones with no solutions except higher taxes, more spending, and more doomsday propaganda designed to scare people out of their money. One wonders if it weren’t for all their lies, fabrications, and crises du jour, would liberals have anything to talk about at all?
