Think about it, is this the real cost of Global Warming Alarmism?

Published by Karl at 3:03 am under Global Warming, OTA

Obviously this ad is over the top, but in a sense it captures one aspect of the problem.

The Global Warming activists are demanding that we perform what amounts to planetary miracles to fix a problem that we didn't even cause, and the end result will be emotionally generated laws that fix nothing, and are simply overreaction with dire consequences.

And the rich people, like politicians, won't be impacted.  You and I will.

So in other words, we are faced with a problem we don't fully understand, so we need to pass laws that make us feel good regardless of whether they have any impact, and without consideration to the consequences.

The notion of allowing real scientists to actually study the phenomenon unfettered by vilification and kibitzing is impossible to accept.

    You are speaking the truth. The Global Warming activists are preposterously looking for some miraculous solution to change the weather, rather than just adapt to the natural cycles that the earth undergoes. It is probable that humankind is baving some effect on the climate. Yet any incremental changes that we make in our consumer and industrial behavior are unlikely to have a significant material effect on the climate. I am all for conservation, energy independence, and for exploring cleaner technology. But what the Global Warming activists want is to tax and regulate the vitality out of the capitalist system.

    They are behaving like socialists, which I believe many of them are. If their objectives are achieved, it will hurt the common folk the most.

    LSU,

    I just read this article about the old wonderboy. I’ll send the article if the link doesn’t work let me know. I don’t know what pile of gold poop he keeps stepping in but I wish I knew where it was.

    He was on a Canadian show being interviewed and the host asked him a question about his “facts about global warming”, he said he didn’t say “facts” that he said “conjecture”. What is he trying to do distance himself now? Now that he has scared the wits out of every jerk that thinks he’s so good to warn them of coming doom?
    With as many times as he has been proven wrong by expert after expert the sheep just keep coming out.
