Moving the goalposts onto another field
The Virginian ^ | 11/26/2009 | Moneyrunner

You can’t say that the MSM is totally ignoring the scandal caused by the release of the CRU memos showing that man-made “global warming” is either unproven or a total fraud. They just have not deigned to discuss this issue with the people. However, if you Google “H. Josef Hebert” you will find that he is the Associated Press bigfoot whose focus is on the environment, and specifically on global warming .. er climate change.

Well, the focus has changed. Hebert “reports” on Obama’s trip to the Copenhagen “climate summit.”

The headline is “Obama to vow greenhouse emissions cuts in Denmark”

With a few obligatory references to global warming and “congressional resistance” we are given an entirely new reason to reduce CO2 emissions.

His article dated November 26th 2009 reveals that the new reason for reducing carbon dioxide and it’s no longer global warming or climate change. The new reason for cutting carbon dioxide is “ … slashing carbon dioxide emissions also could save millions of lives, mostly by reducing preventable deaths from heart and lung diseases, according to studies published this week in the British medical journal The Lancet.

The frauds at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit have just been thrown under the bus by the MSM while the term “moving the goalpost” has taken on an entirely new meaning.

When the goal is government control of the economy and the tool for this control is carbon dioxide emissions, the reasons can morph in ways that make “Transformers” envious. The move from the term "global warming” to “climate change” (which covers anything having to do with climate) has now been superseded by “death prevention.”

“Obama to vow ...”

For a bug that can’t/refuses keep his oath of Office, he sure likes to vow a great deal.

I am so sick of this lying jerk.

It is interesting to note the subtle lies in the article. The health study shows that it is other pollutants that are emitted, ALONG WITH CO2 that cause the diseases. These other pollutants can be removed using known technology, although the CO2 would not be reduced. The author tries to imply that it is the CO2, and hence the fossil fuels that must be reduced even though this is not the result found in the sudy.

It's just another fraud. Rich people live longer. If you do something that makes people poorer, such as a carbon tax , people will die before their time, even if you can't say who the individual victims are.
