They called us Global Warming Holocaust Deniers — sneered at us, snarked at us, and snubbed us.

None of them bothered to read “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”

I have no time for paybacks or saying I told you so.

But pay attention to why they fell for this billion-dollar hoax which almost became a trillion-dollar tragedy.

Why they fell for the global warming hoax

They called us Global Warming Holocaust Deniers — sneered at us, snarked at us, and snubbed us.

None of them bothered to read “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”

I have no time for paybacks or saying I told you so.

But pay attention to why they fell for this billion-dollar hoax which almost became a trillion-dollar tragedy.

1. The pseudo-intellectuals fell for it because none of them ever cracked a science book. 2. The policy wonks fell for it because it gave the government more control. 3. The bleeding hearts fell for it because they always want to save the Earth. 4. The communists fell for it because it portrayed capitalists as destroying the Earth to make money. 5. The capitalists fell for it because they saw a new way to make money. 6. The Hollywood crowd fell for it because it made their pampered lives seem to have a meaning and purpose. 7. The newspapers fell for it because it was new. 8. The teachers fell for it because it was a new thing to teach the children to teach their parents. 9. The children fell for it because they wanted to show how well they are doing in school. 10. The parents fell for it because they wanted their children were doing so well in school and they wanted to be supportive. 11. The utility companies fell or it because they can raise rates. 12. The Nobel Peace Prize committee fell for it because Al Gore should have won in 2000. 13. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences fell for it because Al Gore should have won in 2000. 14. The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (Grammys) fell for it because Al Gore should have won in 2000. 15. The 30,000 scientists fell for it because while it was not in their field of study, they wanted to be supportive of science.

The only people who didn’t fall for it were we mouth-breathing, Bible-thumping, beer-guzzling, cousin-humping, baby-bumping, overfed, inbred, illiterate, gun-clinging, buck-toothed, trailer-park-living, truck-driving, ATV riding, Wal-mart shopping, knuckle-dragging, military-supporting, ain’t-recycling, patriotic, homophobic, xenophobic, sexist, racist hillbillies with cooties.

Don’t make the mistake that the ‘warmers’ fell for anything. They knew and have consistently known that their new mantra is just a shill for collective communism and control of the masses to accrue wealth and power. Any reasonable human being could not have chosen this crusade otherwise.

I am personally offended by this. I send my pregnant wife to do the Wal-Mart shopping.

All those reasons and more are what make a perfect “hoax” / “myth” / “religion”. It has to be something that touches the right archetypes within people, and better yet has something for everyone.

Make no mistake though, it’s not over. As far as those people are concerned, nothing has changed.

One you integrate a belief system, and begin to define yourself with relation to that system, you don’t give it up over little things like logic or evidence.

“They knew and have consistently known that their new mantra is just a shill for collective communism and control of the masses to accrue wealth and power.”

The entire “Global Warming” debate evolves from this quote 19 years ago, after the fall of the Soviet Bloc:

“We must embrace Environmentalism, for Socialism to survive”- Hans-Jochen Vogel, Chairman of the West German Social Democratic Party-1989

Gorbachev said in 1987 that ENVIRONMENTALISM would be the vehicle for Socialist control of the world.

The Religion of Climate Change is simply a vehicle to that end...

15. The 30,000 scientists fell for it because while it was not in their field of study, they wanted to be supportive of science.

...and, there was lots of easy money to be had from various private and government grants by signing on to the AGW gravy train.

The hoax appeals to the three motivating forces every good salesman tries to work into a pitch: pride, greed and fear.

I recited this to some coworkers in 2000 as our dot-com was going down in a flurry of worthlessness.

(Assume some version of a British accent) “Once upon a time two swindlers came to visit the king. They held up their hands like this (raise hands) and said ‘Your Majesty, this is a magic suit of clothes. Naturally since you are so very wise and intelligent you can see how beautiful it is, but to a fool it is absolutely invisible.’”

I resemble some of the above but fortunately not all.
