Well, it ain’t no joke, it’s going to cost all of us a lot of money if this whole charade isn’t stopped.
I don't understand why people say it's funny. The taxes, loss of freedom, loss of jobs when the worldwide economic depression hits, and socialism imposed by force is no laughing matter.
And it's all over some BS theory that has yet to be proven and makes no sense if you look at how small our CO2 emissions really are compared to the total and the volume of the atmosphere. That's not even including the cause (sun) and the real greenhouse gas (water vapor).
Y'know, the 'Global-Cooling' scare-tactics of the '70s just couldn't get any traction. Probably due to the possibility of having to convert B-52s into giant 'cropdusters' to spread carbon-black on the Northern and Southern ice sheets to melt the fast-freezing water and warm the world. Everybody knew it was bull$hit, so the idea fizzled before the money-angle could be proposed.
Remember, follow the money!
The 'gases-in-the-atmosphere' crap didn't start with CO2, but IIRC, it started with CFCs like Freons. 'They' said that the Freon was going up and destroying the ozone-layer in the stratosphere - there was a hole over the South Pole, don'tcha-know. The fact that Freon molecules zoom to the ground because they're heavier than air (same as CO2) was irrelevant. They had to go! The stuff that replaced Freon is even heavier.
The money-angle on Freon apparently had something to do with getting more firms manufacturing refridgerant.
Once people could be fooled into thinking that heavier-than-air gases could float up, the stage was set for another scam, so the buzzword that was chosen was 'Greenhouse', as in greenhouse-gases. CO2 was the first boogeyman gas, and methane (cow-farts) was added later because, well, there are lots of cows. algore jumped in because, well, he's algore and he's as smart as a cow.
Now, the money part of the scam (all this 'Global-Warming' bull$hit is a con-game, y'know) is to somehow convince people that it's necessary for somebody else to spend their money to save the world, i.e. the people have to want it! The cracks in the scam were really showing last winter when people started measuring snow in feet instead of inches, and the new boogyword became 'Climate-Change', but people were getting suspicious. The new Religion had a name-change. That don't look good! Gotta do something fast!
'Carbon-Credits' was an idea tossed out at the very beginning of the CO2 scam whereby the wealthy, industrialized Countries (USA) that burn lots of fossil fuels would somehow buy credits from the poor, backward Countries (them) that only burned camelshit, and somehow, this socialist notion would make everything alright. The details were never worked out then, because the scam was just starting. The cardboard box was set up, but the walnut halves and the pea were still in the Flim-Flam-Mans' pocket.
We know that algore generates tons of CO2, and all of his houses even more, but it's OK, because he's buying 'Carbon-Credits', and that somehow offsets his obscene gluttonny when it comes to generating CO2. Whoops - algore invented the Internet - algore's buying those carbon-credits from a Company that he himself owns - bummer! Well, who else lined-up to buy carbon-credits from algores' company? Anyone? ... Hello? ...
I learned a very long time ago that a successful scam is like a good pitch in baseball. It's a lonnnnng sloooww currrrve, with a fastbreak. The first step was to invent the sky falling problem without sounding like Chicken Little, and get a few followers. Step two is to turn it into a Religion so its' authenticity is faith-based, thus going unquestioned, and convert the sheeples to your Religion. Step three is to pretend to solve the problem, and then shear the sheeple to pay for the solution, and keep the money! Step one went OK because practically nobody was listening, but some reference papers about the theory got published.
We were well along the way towards the Unanimity of the Religion of the Flim-Flam-Man when algores Internet burped out some actual science. Exposed algore too. Everything happens so fast these days, and it's mostly because of the rapid exchange of information. The moonbat, Flim-Flam Religion was a 8:5 favourite for a while there, but it's starting to look like 'Global-Climate-Warming-Change' is gonna be a fizzle. They tried to set-up the fleecing part too soon because the sky-falling problem was getting exposed.
It doesn't mean that the High Priests of the Religion (damn that a$$hole, algore) are gonna walk away - they've got a helluva lot of Capital invested in this scam, both monetary and Political. The dhimmicRATS get a lot of money from the Hollyweird moonbats, and those vacuum-heads want something for their dough. Fortunately, most of them are wasteful sumbitches who are easily exposed by their excessive lifestyles. Unfortunately, they don't give a rats ass because they're the glitterati, and have a 'Do as I Say' mentality.
There'll be some noise through the warm days of summer, and if we get some hurricanes, they'll be blamed on G-C-W-C, but it'll all be passe' by the end of next winter. Let's do Hybrid Cars next (stupid, wasteful, dangerous idea), and then, Ethanol (INCREDIBLY stupid idea). ........................ FRegards
