Adele apparently didn't get the memo - we're supposed to keep pretending that global warming is more than just a global scam for the triumph of socialism.

The whole point of the global warming propaganda campaign is to turn us all into the slaves of our socialist overlords, those who know better than we do, such as Algore and his ilk. They won’t be happy until we are as miserable here as people in the Third World, but they, themselves, will maintain their living standards and lifestyles, because they know better than we do, the same way the Soviet communists enjoyed a comfortable standard of living while most Russians lived miserable lives. What I don’t understand is why so many people have fallen for it.

Stephen Schneider one of the lead scientist who wrote this 'report' was quoted in 1989 on Discover:

"On the one hand, as scientists we are ethically bound to the scientific method, in effect promising to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but — which means that we must include all the doubts, the caveats, the ifs, ands, and buts. On the other hand, we are not just scientists but human beings as well. And like most people we'd like to see the world a better place, which in this context translates into our working to reduce the risk of potentially disastrous climatic change. To do that we need to get some broadbased support, to capture the public's imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have.'

Ironically, Schneider was also a lead fear-monger of the 1970's global cooling scare. Hmmmm...

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

International communism has been active for many years, always in secret, trying to further its goals. In GW it sees a tremendous opportunity to take some money from those who have some and give it to those who don’t have as much.
I believe that’s the reason for the recent hysterical frenzied push about GW. They feel that victory is in sight.

The race is on to develop a viable climate change policy. The most disadvantaged Australians should not be left behind.

 

POLITICS OF CATASTROPHE IN A NUTSHELL:
(Lessons of history)

 

“The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule. ”
-- H. L. Mencken

• “A hypothesis is always preferable to the truth, for we tailor a hypothesis to fit our opinion of the truth, whereas the truth is only its own awkward self. Ergo, never discover the truth when a hypothesis will do.”

• “For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities, and are often more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are.”

• “Therefore a wise prince ought to adopt such a course that his citizens will always in every sort and kind of circumstance have need of the state and of him, and then he will always find them faithful.”

• “Besides what has been said, people are fickle by nature; and it is a simple to convince them of something but difficult to hold them in that conviction; and, therefore, affairs should be managed in such a way that when they no longer believe, they can be made to believe by force.”
  -- Nicolo Machiavelli

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
-- H. L. Mencken

---

“The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt.”
-- John Philpot Curran

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
-- Edmund Burke

“The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
-- Plato

 

 

Anyone who wonders what the UN/IPCC Anthropogenic Global Warming hype is actually about need only look no further than Europe to note the real agenda behind the AGW push, and it ain't science:

France and 45 other countries call for world environmental monitor
International Herald Tribune: Europe
The Associated Press Published: February 4, 2007

• PARIS: Forty-five nations joined France in calling for a new environmental body to slow global warming and protect the planet, a body that potentially could have policing powers to punish violators.

• "It is our responsibility," Chirac said. "The future of humanity demands it."

• "Without naming the United States, the producer of about one-quarter of the world's greenhouse gases, Chirac expressed frustration that "some large, rich countries still must be convinced" and were "refusing to accept the consequences of their acts."

• "So far, it is mostly European nations that have agreed to pursue plans for the new organization and hold their first meeting in Morocco this spring."

• "We are at a tipping point," Gore said to the conference by videophone. "We must act, and act swiftly." He added: "Such action requires international cooperation."

• "It is time now to hear from the world's policy makers," Tim Wirth, president of the United Nations Foundation, said Friday. "The so-called and long-overstated 'debate' about global warming is now over."

• "The United Nations also is considering a summit meeting of world leaders to tackle global warming, and de Boer said he would expect the United States to send high-ranking officials to to participate."

"Scientists who want to attract attention to themselves, who want to attract great funding to themselves, have to (find a) way to scare the public . . . and this you can achieve only by making things bigger and more dangerous than they really are."

"Emphasis on extreme scenarios may have been appropriate at one time, when the public and decision-makers were relatively unaware of the global warming issue, and energy sources such as "synfuels," shale oil and tar sands were receiving strong consideration."

Even so, the scene of thousands of poor black Americans huddled in the Superdome while the affluent fled in their cars is symbolic: climate change is not an equal-opportunity event.

No, it is symbolic of a failed local and state government.
