It's Not Really a Climate Thing: It's about Control
American Thinker ^ | July 14, 2019 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 07/14/2019 3:18:45 AM PDT by upchuck

Fascism, Communism, Nazism -- all gifts to the world from Europe. Now it's nonsensical worries about climate change resulting in deliberately built-in inefficiencies in everything from household appliances to transportation methods.

Compared to the U.S., Europe’s love of control-down economics leaves it in the dust:

“The US GDP is five times that of Germany, seven times that of France and UK, 10 times of that of Italy, and 14 times of that of Spain in 2018.” And when the UK leaves the EU as I predict it will, the gap will be much larger.

Still, the control freaks of the left are determined to copy the European model and hamstring us in ways that make us easier to control.

I’ve spent a great deal more time overseas than juniors on their semester abroad in Avignon have, and I can tell you that everything from working mothers to GDP are beset by control economies. It takes forever to do the laundry in Europe. The machines may save energy and water but it leaves housewives having to spend much, much longer to get the family laundry done. So much time it takes to accomplish normal household chores that full-time working mothers are rarer there than here.

I thought the hoax had little impact on us in the US, then I found out about car air conditioning freon.

We used to us R12. But because it damaged the ozone layer, we went to something called R134a. But now because of global warming, they are switching to R1234YF.

But watch the video below:

30 lbs of R134a cost $95.
30 lbs of R1234yf cost $3,000.

That’t baked into the price of every new car that uses it.

So I should buy a case of R134a? Because if you own cars a long time, they’re probably going to ban it like they did R-12.

The reason R12 started harming the ozone layer is Duponts patents ran out.

And it’s flammable as well as costly.

It reminds me of the washing machines they make now. It uses less water because of govt regulations, but takes twice as long to complete a load and your clothes are still dirty.

DOE granted the petition last week and has formally begun a rulemaking to determine whether a new efficiency rule is warranted that would permit dishwashers that can do the job in an hour.

Why does the DOE need to have efficiency rules for dishwashers? Why not let the consumers do their own capital cost/efficiency/performance analysis?

If it were not about control the socialists would be campaigning for nuclear power which produces no CO2 and might just save the world before the end comes in 11 years and change.

Exactly right. I looked it up recently; its been 23 years since the last new nuclear power plant came online in the USA.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

I say this as someone with family from Germany who grew up with the language and who has lived there twice: Dennis Prager is right. The key to running a country well is to figure out whatever it is the Germans are doing and do the exact opposite. A lot of this crap from Antifa to the Green New Deal to "social" democrats all stems from there. Individually they're often wonderful and have gifted the world with Goethe, Schiller, Bach, Beethoven, etc etc. Their scientific achievements are legion so much so that the brilliant "German scientist" is a cliche. But collectively....OMG! They are a COMPLETE disaster.

It’s always about control and the left thinks they should control all the levers. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ chief of staff admitted it this week, telling a crowd: “The interesting thing about the Green New Deal, is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all. Do you guys think of it as a climate thing? Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.”

That is all you need to know.

No matter how they attempt to package and sell it, it’s always about control. And it’s always them, controlling you.

Why I thank Heaven every day for the wisdom He gave our Founders to include a Bill of Rights, and especially the 2nd Amendment when they set this new country up...

The rights we get to keep are those rights we will defend...

They'll roll with the punches. If/when the solar minimum's effects become too obvious to be ignored, they'll revert to Global Freezing but continue with exactly the same policy demands. Using oil causes Global Freezing!
