“So, America and Americans can continue to consume as they please, and it will have no effect on the planet.”
This comment really exhibits the underlying anti-Western and anti-American sentiment that is the core of global warming theology.
It matters little to GW zealots what the actual effect of CO2 is on the climate. They have a sledge hammer and they’re going to use it. It’s about taking natural variation and attributing it to man, so we can blame someone. And the someone is the US. It’s about blaming America’s greed, consumerism, and taking “more than her share of the pie”. Now, we punish them for their greed by wrecking their economy.
At best Kyoto and Cap-and-Trade programs are nothing but pure socialism. A tax on the rich.
At worst CW advocacy is Gaia worship. We have harmed mother earth and will be punished. I can’t tell you how many shows I seen and stories I’ve read with this theme. “Man is the cancer.” Earth is curing herself. What a screwed up view. Guess what? Without man, no one is there TO CARE about earth, Gaia, the pristine planet or any of that.
With so little proof of cause and effect, I’m frightened by how many people believe this druid nonsense. Maybe I can talk about God destroying San Franciso (Sodom by the Sea) for it’s wicked ways. Now when the big one hits I’ll say “See, God was offended and punished the evil doers.” You GW people have about the same evidencial case.
I feel sorry for people who have consern for the environment, but are not econuts, or watermelons. Little do they realize how much infomation has been withheld, how the data has been cherry-picked, and the outright lies made by the GW crowd and covered by the leftest media. They think they are doing good but they are just pawns.
Everyone is bitching about $4 gas. How much do they think it will be when the carbon crusaders get their way? $8? $10?
