Climate Change: The Greatest-Ever Conspiracy Against The Taxpayer
Breitbart ^ | March 28, 2016 | by JAMES DELINGPOLE

Posted on 03/28/2016 11:49:24 AM PDT by Hojczyk

If all the countries do their bit then the total reduction in global warming – by the year 2100 will be 0.170 degrees Centigrade.

As a climate sceptic friend of mine pointed out at the time, you’d experience a bigger temperature increase than that just walking down from the top to the bottom of the Eiffel tower.

So there’s your deal folks: you – and taxpayers like you – are paying $1.5 trillion a year to reduce the world’s temperatures by the end of this century by 0.170.

It’s so perfectly ridiculous it’s almost funny.

And I suppose on a personal level I shouldn’t complain. I call climate change “the gift that goes on giving” because day in day out I get an endless stream of stories to write about the corruption, incompetence, skullduggery of the climate alarmism industry.

But, putting my career aside for the moment, is this really a world we’d like to live in? Can it be right that people who have worked hard for their money should have it taken from them and then wasted in so spectacular fashion?

And it’s not just the waste that’s so bad it’s worse than that.

If it were simply a form of taxpayer-funded welfare scheme for otherwise unemployable environmental sciences graduates that would be one thing.

But this is causing real, lasting harm in any number of ways.

The corrupting effects on science – and the scientific method – which at times are almost redolent of Lysenkoism of the Stalin era.

The brainwashing of schoolchildren such as you might have found with the Young Pioneers.

The economic damage caused by the misallocation of resources, as so frequently happens in Communist countries

It’s a scam they get away with because nobody stands up to them. Another reason to vote Trump.

It is hard to stand up to them - all but illegal, in fact.
It might just BE illegal in Canada and parts of Europe.

Jacki is joined by Todd Young, the COO of the Southeastern Legal Foundation, to discuss the Washington Times op-ed piece: Obama Lawyers Would Deny Free Speech to Climate Change Skeptics. Jacki also talks with Frank Gaffney, the Founder and President of the Center for Security Policy, about threats to the electric grid. Jacki also speaks with Glenn Gannt of the TX Energy Council tells us all about the college scholarships they are giving away to students entering the energy sector, especially petroleum and chemical engineers.

If the people at the top pushing global warming really believed it, they wouldn’t live as they do.

climate change BS is pushed by the ultra elite as to aid their absolute take over of the world’s economies. They have more money to force this crap upon us than do the people collectively to fight against them. The ultra ruling elite aren’t going to quit until they get their way.

Exactly. The Left took control of all our information and all major corporations/public institutions, and can control most “thoughts” and “attitudes” (all that MSM does), and all they have to do is repeat the big lies in concert with all the institutions, and then the useful idiots will believe it.

Anyone who will not go with the meme of the Left is punished, fined, fired, or has to go to prison like a D’Souza, or get killed like a Scalia or spend thousands of dollars and hours in court fights.

There is no Truth allowed in the Public Square——Solzhenitsyn told us that in 1978 and our SCOTUS made sure that truth was banned from our “Justice” System and from the schools and pubic square in the 40s-60s so children could be brainwashed and the children could be programmed to be atheist, humanists, mother earth worshippers and satanists, and totally irrational—enough to believe the big lies like the Hitler Youth and Black Lives Matter thugs. (Future Brownshirts).

And coming to the USA soon if Loretta Lynch has her way!

But doesn't this give credence that SOMETHING could be done? I mean if we did enact those changes and it DID lower the global temps, I can see the alarmists stating "we just need to do more!"

To: Hojczyk; All
Thank you for referencing that article Hojczyk. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Even if global warming had been proven by the consistent results of repeatable, scientific method-base experiments, it remains that the states states have never delegated to the corrupt feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate environmental issues.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Remember in November !

So if patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they will also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the president, and no longer tax and spend for PC global warming issues until the states appropriately amend the Constitution.

In fact, note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices who likewise help to empower bad-apple presidents to do unconstitutional things.

“It’s a scam they get away with because nobody stands up to them. Another reason to vote Trump.”

Nobody’s stood up against climate alarmists such as Michael Mann more than Mark Steyn, who is currently being sued for all he’s worth by that charlatan. Unfortunately, Steyn has a different view of Trump’s willingness to take on these scam artists (and I say this as one who will vote for Trump if he’s on the ballot).

From “Steyn Online”:

“But Trump didn’t like National Review coming at him. So over the weekend he Tweeted an approving link to a two-year-old column arguing that National Review is doomed. Unfortunately for me, its thesis is that National Review is doomed because of the Michael E Mann lawsuit. So, when it comes to global-warming fanatics vs free speech, Trump is apparently cheering for the global-warming fanatics.”

Lysenkoism

Allow me to introduce Lysolism - the attempt to disinfect a great, stinking lie.

Of course they would. Their bigger motto is “rules for thee, but not for me!”

Many have compared what is going on with respect to Catastropic Anthropogenic Global Warming to Lysenkoism. Heck, there’s where I did last year:

Here in 2012 I comment on the damage to Science:

I’m not saying I’m unique, just that many see it that way on this subject.

No, that would be so-called “progressivism” and the Arbitrary government that it requires to exist at the US federal level.

As with regulatory capture, all this extends from the view that government should be able to do *stuff* for ordinary citizens just because they are there.
