“Why aren’t people, ESPECIALLY political types, HAPPY that AGW is increasingly clearly false?”
Would you be happy if the horse you were riding suddenly broke all its legs?
As others have noted, it’s all about power and money (and in some cases, a la Gore, also about celebrity and adulation). The Left has for years been making noise about taking over the medical industry in the US, which is what, like 10% of the economy? Lately they are trying to take over the oil companies. They already own the media for all practical purposes. They even took a chunk of the financial industry with the various Fannies (what a shock that a host of Clinton-era vermin, including the disgusting Jamie Gorelick, made millions on this ponzi scheme). Bit by bit they want to take over everything.
In this context, Global Warming was a (ha ha) godsend. What industry doesn’t impact the “globe”? None. So it’s their excuse to take over every productive enterprise in the country or even the world. This is ego-mania of an astonishing order.
The advent of The Great Barack suddenly made it all possible. The Congress is already in the hands of Tyrants. All they needed to push it all over the top was a charismatic King, a pretty wind-up-doll that would go out and charm the ignorant masses into smiling as they handed over everything they own. I’m a little surprised myself at how darkly conspiratorial my thinking is getting, since I’m not a conspiratorial type by nature. But I really think we’re on the edge of something very, very bad if we elect this charlatan to be our new Messiah. The pieces have been falling into place for decades. Obama is indeed the One they’ve been waiting for.
Don’t expect them to let this chance go by. Far too much is at stake. They must be panicking already at McCain getting even with Obama in the polls. I expect an enormous slander campaign to begin right after the Conventions. McCain and the Republicans, slow on the uptake as always, won’t have time to mount an effective counter-attack. Nothing the Left does, no matter how heinous, will surprise me, since the Left has in essence called “all in” with this election, and what they’ve put on the table is everything.
McCain is going to have to hit an Ace on the river. And me, I don’t believe in that kind of luck.
