"[A]larmists have mastered the art of illusion – or possibly convolution – to scare people, including policymakers. Their goal now is to take the means that allegedly would lower temperatures, reducing CO2, and turn it into the goal."

This is a good point that is worth remembering. These whackos: declare that X is bad; Y will prevent X; therefore, keep your eye on Y and don't pay any attention to what happens to X. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

The scientific evidence for "Global Warming" just isn't there. Thirty years ago the liberals were warning about "Global Freezing". That didn't happen either.

This entire crisis is manufactured by the MSM and Dems to get them back into power. They need to "prove" that their crisis is more important that terrorism. Time and money for only one crisis at a time.

In the 1970s Paul Erlich in those liberal books he wrote predicted that by the early 21st century nearly all of Canada would be covered by a glacier.

You gotta give them credit for trying.

Silly me... I figured Iranian nukes and asymmetric warfare coming from terrorists in a world where proliferation is about to get out of control was a threat and could lead to the end of the world.

Nope... it will be global warming and NYC turning into an arctic glacier overnight. Yep... I'm totally serial!

The most powerful logical fallacy.....appeal to higher authority. Now, we are going to have all sorts of politicians, religious zealots, and opportunists using this ultimate appeal...."save the world!"

Makes the other appeals, like doing "one for the Gipper", or "for the children", or "for the greater good", all are now pretty lame in comparison.

The global warming hoax will be exposed for what it is. That will have
profound effects. The people and institutions that advocate the hoax will
be simultaneously exposed. The mainstream media and environmentalist whackos
will lose credibility.

The solution to global warming is simple and easily with the control of humanity:

It is called nuclear winter. Perhaps, nuclear winter is a bit harsh. Therefore, we should probably just strive for a nuclear fall. This feat could easily be accomplished by, say, dropping a few hundred nukes on Iran.

This solution has a number of obvious merits beyond stopping global warming in its tracks. Not the least of these is taking care of two threats to national security, one imagined and one real. However, there others. This action would not only force Syria and other state sponsors of terrors to back off of their nefarious activities, but it would put Mother Nature on notice as well.

All of this accomplished without any negative impacts on the economy, SUVs or snail darters. What do say???

FTI: FreeRepublic does not 'bump' like VB or UBB. When you post, it does not 'move to the top', so it is useless to post "bump" here.

If you meant to bring it to someone's attention, convention is to type "Ping" in the reply box, and address the "To" field to whomever you wish to notify (seperate several nicks but comma)

I wish that were true, but I see nothing that is going to jump up and stop it.

This is a hoax that makes the believers and advocates feel good about themselves. These types of hoaxes are very hard to stop, since those who believe it feel they are more concerned and caring people, and thus, all detractors are simply selfish and evil. Thus, just like any good conspiracy theory, facts never get in the way.

If you have more to say as to how it will be exposed, please clue me in.

I will work tirelessly to see that you don't!

I will take my message to the corners of the earth. I will log thousand upon thousand miles to warn of the need to stop travelling.

Nothing will stop me from delivering my message.
-New Guinea?
-No Problem. We'll clear a goodly portion of the jungle to lay down a runway. then a gift shop. then...We'll deliver our message to those folks (native people staring blankly)

By Mother Earth, we'll save her! Essscelsior!

All I know is that when a major pharamaceutical company removes a highly-effective asthma medicine from the market and replaces it with an "ozone-friendly" type that doesn't work half as effectively in order to "save the ozone layer," the nuts have gotten control of the nuthouse. Where in the hell are the sane people?

Its already happening. Time's cover story and 60 Minutes' breathless "warming" story have been picked apart like pile of dead lobster. We're beginning to laugh at them and THEY JUST CAN'T STAND IT !

We see British Petroleum adds that are nothing more than leftist propaganda, I for one, refuse to buy BP products as a result of the sell-out hysteria the media is spoon feeding us with.

Fox, on the other hand, is giving a level headed perspective that Global Warming is not a panic issue and that it's effects have been dramatized and exaggerated.

Not many people in the worlds largest free society are willing to give up their comfort or financial gains and potential financial opportunity for any cause. Especially a cause that is still unproven and highly disputed by so many.

The guy's is the reincarnation of the bored pampered literary character known as Don Quixote. He's never had the chance to fight a real battle so he's going to go about slaying this defenseless and essentially contrived enemy.

Like I said, I mean he's big on Buddhist Temples and such, so it should come natural to do the right thing. He needs to find a hollowed out tree trunk, strip to his Hanes and assume the meditative pose of a true ascetic.

ONCE upon a time there
were four little Rabbits,
and their names were --
        Flopsy,
      Mopsy,
    Cotton-tail,
  and Peter.

They lived with their Mother
in a sand-bank, underneath the
root of a very big fir tree. ...
