If you're wondering how the robot-like march of the world's politicians towards Copenhagen can possibly continue in the face of the scientific scandal dubbed "climategate," it's because Big Government, Big Business and Big Green don't give a s*** about "the science."
They never have.
What "climategate" suggests is many of the world's leading climate scientists didn't either. Apparently they stifled their own doubts about recent global cooling not explained by their computer models, manipulated data, plotted ways to avoid releasing it under freedom of information laws and attacked fellow scientists and scientific journals for publishing even peer-reviewed literature of which they did not approve.
Now they and their media shills -- who sneered that all who questioned their phony "consensus" were despicable "deniers," the moral equivalent of those who deny the Holocaust -- are the ones in denial about the enormity of the scandal enveloping them.
So they desperately try to portray it as the routine "messy" business of science, lamely insisting, "nothing to see here folks, move along."
Before the Internet -- which has given ordinary people a way to fight back against the received wisdom of so-called "wise elites" -- they might have gotten away with it.
But not now, as knowledgeable climate bloggers are advancing the story and forcing the co-opted mainstream media to cover a scandal most would rather ignore.
The problem, however, is those who hijacked science to predict a looming Armageddon unless we do exactly as they say, have already done their damage.
The moment they convinced politicians the way to avert the End of Days was to put a price on emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the unholy alliance of Big Government, Big Business and Big Green was forged.
Big Government wants more of your taxes. Big Business wants more of your income. Big Green wants you and your children to bow down to its agenda of enforced austerity.
What about saving the planet, you ask? This was never about saving the planet. This is about money and power. Your money. Their power.
If it was about saving the planet, "cap-and-trade" (a.k.a. cap-and-tax) -- how Big Government, Big Business and Big Green ludicrously pretend we will "fight" global warming and "save the planet" -- would have been consigned to the dust bin of history because it doesn't work. We know it doesn't work because Europe's five-year-old cap-and-trade market -- the Emissions Trading Scheme -- has done nothing to make the world cooler.
All it's done is make hedge fund managers, speculators and Big Energy giddy with windfall profits, while making everyone else poorer by driving up the cost of energy, and thus of most goods and services, which need energy to be lighted, heated, cooled, grown, constructed, manufactured, produced and transported.
I got one word for the global warming crowd...LEMMINGS but, I’ll be darned if they’re going to drag us over the cliff with them.
Great article,,,easy read and hits hard below the belt and from Canada too. Eggs meet faces of the American LSM liar hacks!
The Toronto Sun? We’re getting there. Tell everyone you know about this story. “Did you see where they found those scientists have been hiding the data from the public?”
“I’ll be darned if they’re going to drag us over the cliff with them.”
The problem is there is a nasty little force of nature called inertia..they have it on their side and unless we find some way to counteract it, we go over the cliff with them.
Luckily too, the Sun, often descibed as a tabloid, readership has not suffered the way our left wing newspapers have. People will read this here in Canada now, this is one of our big 4 newspapers.
It's pretty tough to break through the spin.
The damned thieves are the law, with the power to intimidate and extort. What do they care about what we know? What are we going to do?

...and admit it, some of you were taken in, at least at first by climate change. Why would people make up such a complex story? What on Earth could they gain? So now, now that the facts are not matching the agenda, we (actually you guys - you know, the one’s who think that Rush was embellishing a bit for ratings...I’ve known since college) get the real truth as to who, exactly, these people are.
"Here, have another glass of kool-aid. Drink up!"
Not me, not for a second.
They’re Goliath, we’re David. Big Monster going down with thud!
You mean momentem. Inertia means to remain at rest.
Inertia applies to rest and motion, undisturbed or acted upon by outside force, the mass will retain it’s inertia.
We need to do some sort of marketing campaign (for lack of a better term) against the greens. How about cartoons of little greenies with funny comments? We’ve been beaten over the head with this green nonsense for so long. Why have we never countered it with some fun imagery? (Because the Republicans are asleep. Go back and stuff your faces with turkey.)
“Not me, not for a second.”
Excellent. But you’d be surprised at how many of conservative icons were fooled. I specifically remember both Tony Snow and Dr. Laura admitting that they thought Rush was ‘putting on a little show’ for ratings, when he discussed how the liberals deal with people they don’t like.
Those two made it to the top...I barely listened to them, yet they were clueless as to the nature of the enemy until they became a big-time threat to them. That is our biggest problem - we (i.e., conservatives in general) look at this as a football game - when the game is over, we all shake hands. They look at it as being the Japanese on Okinawa - fighting to the death, to the last man. That is EXACTLY who they are. (and I don’t exaggerate - given their history in other countries, the only reason we haven’t have a bloodbath here yet is that they cannot figure out a way to pull it off).
Also flash2368: Ihave just had a learning moment. Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving!
That’s pretty much my take on it, too. The Global Warming Scam is too big to fail.
