GLOBAL WARMING ON STEROIDS
By Alan Caruba
DEMOCRATIC PARTY POLITICS, POLITICAL ENVIRONMENTALISM, & GLOBAL WARMING THEORY: MAKING SURE
THAT THE PLAN OF POLITICAL ENVIRONMENTALISTS & THEIR ALLIES AMONG LIBERAL DEMOCRATS TO RETARD
AMERICA'S USE OF FOSSIL FUELS AS ENERGY SOURCES WILL BE FORCED UPON AN UNWILLING AMERICAN PUBLIC --
PRESSURE TO FORCE THE U.S.A. TO RUIN ITS ECONOMY IN ORDER TO ACCOMODATE THE ERRONEOUS THEORY OF
HUMAN-INDUCED GLOBAL WARMING -- THE THREAT TO FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION POSED BY THE CONCERTED EFFORT
TO SILENCE THOSE WHO CHALLENGE & DISSENT FROM THE THEORY
FULL STORY:
On December 4, 2006, then U.S. House Speaker-Elect Nancy Pelosi (Democrat - California) issued a statement protesting the lifting
of a presidential moratorium protecting Alaska’s Bristol Bay from oil and gas exploration. Representative Pelosi had to reach
back to the Exxon Valdez oil spill of 1989 to find a reason why this energy-rich area should not be opened to exploration.
“Allowing oil drilling to go forward in Bristol Bay,” said Representative Pelosi, “puts our precious environment at risk.” We
are all in for heavy doses of global warming propaganda and hearing a lot more about “our precious environment.” In recent
months, the volume of global warming hysteria has markedly risen and, with it, came demands from two U.S. Senators that
any dissent from this Big Lie of human-induced global warming be silenced.
Coincidently with Representative Pelosi’s announcement, the Wall Street Journal published an opinion titled “Global
Warming Gag Order” in which it noted:
“Washington has no shortage of bullies, but even we can’t quite
believe an October 27 letter that Senators Jay Rockefeller and
Olympia Snowe sent to Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson. Its
message: Start toeing the Senator’s line on climate change, or
else.”
The Senators demanded that Exxon Mobil “end its dangerous support of the (global warming) ‘deniers’.” They went on to
demand that the company “should repudiate its climate change denial campaign and make public its funding history.” This
is comparable to the house arrest imposed on Galileo for saying that the Earth was not the center of the universe and that
the sun is the center of our planetary system.
Today we know the truth that Galileo revealed and we know, too, that real science, true science, is under attack by the
global warming crowd. Simply stated, meteorologists and climatologists have long established that the Earth goes through
regular cycles of warming and cooling, with the occasional blip of a mini-Ice Age or other anomaly.
However, the global warming Gestapo wants to make sure that their plan to retard the use of energy sources such as oil,
natural gas, or coal be forced upon an unwilling public. In addition to endless, non-stop bogus studies to “prove” global
warming is not only real, but affecting everything from polar bears to hurricanes, any suggestion by what the Wall
Street Journal calls “a doughty band of dissenters who can barely get their name in the paper” to the contrary must be
suppressed. (http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/warmlist.htm)
I haven’t seen any “proof” beyond the bloviations of the likes of Al Gore that indicates a significant warming of the planet,
because there isn’t any. It’s not as if there haven’t been plenty of studies debunking and disputing global warming. The
problem is that the mainstream media takes no notice of them, denigrates them, or mentions them only briefly as an effort to
appear even-handed.
No self-respecting scientist, other than those in the thrall or on the payroll of environmentalist organizations, will assert
there is any unusual global warming.
On July 25, 1997, by a unanimous vote, the U.S. Senate rejected participation in the Kyoto Protocol, an agreement made
under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, an agreement that requires participating nations to
greatly reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. At the time, the Senate noted that it “would result in serious harm to the
economy of the United States.” Neither the Clinton nor the Bush administration submitted the protocol to the Senate for
ratification.
What we are witnessing now is a deliberate effort to impose the conditions of the Kyoto Protocol on the United States,
despite the Senate’s rejection. This is manifest in the recent California “emissions” legislation that Senator Barbara Boxer
(Democrat - California) has announced she wants to extend nationwide.
The theory is that “greenhouse” gases, such as carbon dioxide, generated by the human use of socalled “fossil fuels” are
“causing” global warming. This is the justification for schemes intended to force “conservation” and other energy use
limitations, but CO2 is a natural part of the Earth’s ecology. All plants, trees, crops, and other vegetation are dependent
on CO2 for growth.
Also ignored is the fact that water vapor is a major socalled greenhouse gas, along with the constant emissions from the
Earth’s many active volcanoes. These and other factors are completely beyond the control or interdiction of mankind.
We are being subjected to demands that we alter our economy to accommodate an utterly false assertion of global
warming. At the same time, environmentalists are actively involved in schemes to put as much of the U.S. landmass as
possible off-limits to any development. All of this has been neatly spelled out in a United Nations plan alleged to insure
“sustainable development,” but which, in fact, is designed to inhibit and prohibit any development anywhere.
There is a reason why oil companies have been impeded from providing the United States with “energy independence”
by restrictions on where it may explore and extract this vital source of energy.
There is a reason why coal is under constant attack, particularly as regards the building of coal-fired utilities to provide
more electrical power for a population that now exceeds three hundred million. Coal is one of America’s most abundant
energy sources.
There is a reason why automobile manufacturers find themselves under attack for the use of gasoline and diesel fuel.
There is a reason why those engaged in agriculture are under attack from an utterly failed Endangered Species Act,
sometimes deprived of the water for irrigation that generations of farmers had in the past, or deprived of the herbicides
and pesticides needed to protect their crops.
There is a reason why the member-nations of the European Union have always exceeded the emissions limits placed on
them by the UN Kyoto Protocol, while nations such as China and India are exempt.
The whole of America and Europe, as well as other areas that are the engines of the global economy, have been under
attack by the environmentalists because an evil, corrupt United Nations wants to be an unelected global government
and we stand in the way of the environmentalists and the United Nations. This is why the worldwide environmentalist
movement is directed from the United Nations.
Behind the United Nations are those who subscribe still to the failed economic theories of Marxism and who hate the
success of the United States and other nations that have embraced capitalism.
They are the people who would suppress the truth about the greatest modern hoax, global warming.
They are the ones seeking to destroy the sovereignty of the United States by stealth, creating a North American Union
to merge our nation with Canada and Mexico, sinking the individual protections afforded by our Constitution into a
morass of regulations over which there will be no vote by Americans.
Global warming is the mask, the charade, the Big Lie by which the destruction of the United States of America is being
advanced. The new Congress, controlled by Democrats advancing the environmentalist agenda, is a renewed and
increased threat.
The mainstream media and press will continue to support the Big Lie by its daily repetition.
We have entered a period of global warming on steroids. It is a period in which every possible effort will be made to
impose this Big Lie on all of us. The reason for this is the increased skepticism of everyday Americans who have
concluded that there is no massive increase in global warming.
