GLOBAL WARMING = Global taxation
The biggest hoax in decades....and much cash to be made
Ask yourself this when looking at a new florescent energy saving light bulb. Does the savings in power offset the pollution caused by an increase in total weight (logistics), plastics now used, as well as circuitry, much greater energy consumption during manufacture (total net) and BEST of all, added Mercury which is in the florescent tube?
Yes Mercury: http://www.epa.gov/bulbrecycling
When Gore tells us the planet is easy to save with little simple steps like energy saving light bulbs, and of course GE and others quickly peddle off their product and legislators (for our children of course) pass tax incentives etc., does it really make sense? Environmentalism is faddish and trendy, largely based on junk science, the politics around it is emotional and often irrational. There is a reason why we didn't build a nuclear power plant in over 25 years, and that's not because of a lack in demand for power. Ask those pushing to allow DDT back how many have died of malaria? Environmentalism is full of cool music, it has its own lingo, fashions, magazines and of course leaders. Business has tapped into this market and in fact if given a chance would like to legislate that you MUST spend your money on their product, for the children of course. There was actual talk by some to have government programs that more or less buy carbon offsets, of course we today give green cars with 450 pounds of batteries on board special tax incentives.
It's more than just a scam for those who voluntarily want to play along. It's a fleecing; where by law and tax codes etc you are forced to play along even if you don't realize it and the wool is pulled over your eyes. It's about money for business and popularity for politicians who years past took up the crusade against acid rain and saving the baby seals.
