Ok, I admit it. I have a man-crush on Stossel.
But it is over - it’s a hoax, lie and political ideology not based on any facts, reason or perspective.
Ping!.....
bump for publicity
I wouldn’t mind hijacking the “Global Warming” hysteria as a means of getting free of dependence on oil, since most of it is in the hands of nutjobs. Maybe if we declared a War On Oil Dependence (got WOOD?), we could have the same kind of technological advancement that SDI brought us in the 80s, and we could move into an era of more stable energy sources.
I like Stossel. He did a really good piece a while back on the myth of gun control. Very surprising to see that on ABC.
Good stuff.
The overriding myth is that global warming zealots give a rats butt about global warming. They know that it’s baloney, it’s just a means to an end.
Convince the sheeple that the end is near and their only salvation is to turn their lives over to Algore & Company.
FGS, I hope he doesn’t expose it before The Today Show goes to the “corners of the Earth” to examine and report on global warming. Matt’s going to Greenland to prove GW is real (no, he doesn’t see the irony in Greenland’s name, evidently), Ann is going to the South Pole, where evidently a large chunk of Antartica, the size of Rhode Island has broken off (bwhahahaha), and Roker will be at the equator, eating something, I’m sure. What a perfect storm of IRONY is building. Where in the world is Algore? It’s just not a true IRONY party if he’s not part of it!

Exactly what I have been saying. _IF_ the Environmentalists are REALLY concerned about the environment, and if they REALLY want to achieve a real lowering of CO2 emissions, then they would be a SCREAMING for Nuclear power.. all I hear is crickets..
bttt
Well there goes all the value of my carbon credits...
All you have to do is ask a global warming believer how Mars is warming up.
“Mr. Gore says ‘The debate is over,’ and those who disagree with his take on global warming have been ‘purchased’ in order to create ‘the illusion of a debate.’
I've always loved this 'debate is over' argument...Wonder what would happen if conservatives used this tactic?...
Abortion? The debate is over, we must ban it. Death tax? The debate is over, get rid of it. Social Security? The debate is over, let individuals handle their own retirement. Immigration? The debate is over - build the wall, lock down visas, deport illegals.
I highly recomend the book “Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming” by Bjorn Lomborg.
He makes the point repeatedly that the fears are way overblown, that there are more lives saved from “cold deaths” than those added by “heat deaths”, and that in a world with finite resources to spend on improving living conditions for humans, investing in carbon emission reduction has the least bang-for-the-buck by a long shot.
Water treatment, AIDS/HIV treatment, disease control, irrigation, etc all have much higher paybacks.
He also makes the point very well about the adaptability fo humans to changing climate.
Highly recommended!
I recently tried to post a response (I have been a regular on the “Readers’ Responses” page for over seven years—til now) on a Wall Street Journal editorial similiar to this one.But Opinionjournal.com has blacklisted me ever since I pointed out their constitutional hypocrisy and elitist ersatz conservatism as regards their seditious and avarice-driven stance on the illegal alien invasion currently seeding our holy land with scofflaw weeds and outlaw “rape trees.”
Anyhoo,back in 1991,Professor and Chairman of the Philosophy Department at Ulyanovsk State University in Russia,Valentine A. Bezhanov,wrote an essay about the junk science (the old boy saw it first hand)that buttressed the evil programs of the once defunct but now refulgent totalitarian state of Russia.Dissidents such as he in the Old Soviet Union called it “shadow science.”
Al Gore’s “The Inconvenient Truth” and it’s it nefarious laurels bears a terryfying in it’s repercussions resemblence to Stalin’s “Convenient Factoids” during the Soviet era of “shadow science.”
Prof.Bazhanov wrote:
“Advancement as a Soviet [or leftist] “scientist” is more a means for career benefits than the discovery of truth.The processes by which decisions in science take place for non-scholary reasons can be called “shadow science.”
Contrived liberal misanthropic “climate change” avoids the past negative proggresive (socialist) ideals with new proggresive (the new Nixon,as it were)”positive” ideals.Still the same leftist system however,money and power availiable only to the most political and clever than to the most principaled and competent.
Prof.Bazhanov concludes:
“I have given evidence of the importance of shadow science within Soviet [leftist] science—or should we say,imitation of science? In any case the product is dull [as in obtuse]science and the only product of dull science is more dull science.Rather than producing scientists with lively minds,they are produced with a death grip [or the fear of the tyranny of an ideologically biased consensus].”
The neocommunists and theophobes (they who hate God)will never stop.The earth will abide—can we?
