The Greens are going CRAZY ... (the failure of the global warming hoax)
intellectual Conservative ^ | July 29, 2008 | Alan Caruba

Greens are increasingly frantic over the opposition being voiced against global warming, one of the greatest hoaxes in modern history.

It’s hard to ignore the fact that the Greens are going crazy, not just in the United States, but around the world. They are increasingly frantic over the opposition being voiced against global warming, one of the greatest hoaxes in modern history.

The Greens have bet everything on global warming as the reason for giving up the use of long established sources of energy such as oil, coal and natural gas. The object has been to slow everything the modern world calls progress.

In India, a spokesman for that nation of one billion people has flatly refused to accept the global warming hoax. China shows no sign of yielding to the global warming lies. The greatest agricultural and mercantile economy to have ever existed, the United States of America, continues to thwart its own growth by yielding to the lies.

Recently the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, said that, “coal makes us sick. Oil makes us sick. It’s global warming. It’s ruining our country. It’s ruining our world.”

No, what makes us sick is listening to such preposterous lies. A Rasmussen telephone survey taken after Senator Reid’s absurd statement found that 52% of voters surveyed rejected his views about coal and oil, double the amount of those who agreed.

What is troublesome, however, is that the same survey found the voters evenly divided on whether global warming exists or poses a threat. Fully 47% of those surveyed believe that human activity affects the climate. Both candidates for President are publicly committed to the global warming hoax by varying degrees.

Despite an intense, decades-long propaganda campaign, coupled with indoctrination in our nation’s schools, the truth is beginning to emerge.

Actually, it’s just a bunch of disappointed socialist/communists

that have failed, through this venue, and at this time,

to bring about the control of the population that they crave.

I'd agree with this too, on a local scale. One only needs to look at Mexico City, or Beijing to see this.

On a global level? nah.

It is only going to get much worse in the coming years. Get used to it. I actually expect some sort of legislation that will forbid opposition to GW. In a way, there already is.

It’s called Cap and Trade and Carbon Credits. And those who try to avoid it, will be taxed out of existence.

They are in a fury b/c their moment has passed. The temps are dropping, and even they intuit that their hoax can’t stand up to cold summers and frigid winters.

Funny, how McKeating’s belief in Global Warming - the Establishment cause if there ever was one - is evidence he’s a ‘maverick’...

Leftists will always seek to use the guns of government to eliminate any dissenting viewpoints,

because their ideology is logically indefensible and can only survive when it is the only ideology being voiced.

The Left proclaims a belief in dissenting viewpoints, until they discover that those views aren’t in agreement with theirs

No more paper hand towels at Premium Oulet Malls. Hand dryers only in an effort to be green.

“The Greens have bet everything on global warming as the reason for giving up the use of long established sources of energy such as oil, coal and natural gas.”

What’s the difference between the Greens’ strategy and the Democrats’. Absolutely nothing. The Dems have latched on to global warming as one of the keys to their political future. And they can buy a lot of support by channeling tax dollars to “alternative energy”. Witness their courting of T. Boone Pickens.

They need not worry because Pelosi is busy saving the planet.

Regrettably, so has John McCain.

That is an excellent point usually ignored or not considered and I think we can mark that up to the Marxist indoctrination in our schools.

They’re not calling it global warming anymore, as warming cannot be proved. They are now calling it Global Climate Change.

How they manage to get people worked up about fluctuations in the weather is beyond me.

Wrong, pollution may affect the ability of people to breath in some areas, such China and Mexico, but affect the climate locally? Just how does it do that? Does it rain more in Mexico city, hotter than average, heavier snow fall in Beijing maybe? I don't think so, poisonous air but no climate effect. There is a big difference between climate change and air quality. Nothing humans do affects climate, nothing, not on a local level or a global level.

If the media weren't involved in promoting the cockamamie idea, nobody would buy into this crap.

The nation faces three enemies:

1. Islamofascist terrorists
2. The radical socialist left
3. The mainstream media

And, of the three, the media is the most pernicious and dangerous. Because, without the media, the other two enemies would've already been defeated.

Fight’s not over yet.

It will get much, much worst in the US before it gets better.

“NASA now begrudgingly confirms that the hottest year on record in the continental 48 was not 1998, as previously believed, but 1934, and that six of the 10 hottest years since 1880 antedate 1954. Data from 3,000 scientific robots in the world’s oceans show there has been slight cooling in the past five years . . .”
