Goodbye Global Warming & Cap And Trade, Hello "Cap And Cash Back"
FOUNDING BLOGGERS
By admin on NYT

If this NY Times article is to be believed, the environmental fascism brigade wants to stop using the term "global warming" because the term is associated with hippies and other bad stuff.

>>> The term turns people off, fostering images of shaggy-haired liberals, economic sacrifice and complex scientific disputes, according to extensive polling and focus group sessions conducted by ecoAmerica, a nonprofit environmental marketing and messaging firm in Washington.<<<

Nice try. The real reason these leftists want to walk back the term "global warming" is because after the previous mild summer and brutally cold winter, you'd have to be a Kool-Aid drinking Obamafile not to notice that it doesn't exist the way we have been sold. The green pushers are worried that mother nature is exposing them as frauds.

So what do these geniuses of social engineering recommend?

Instead of grim warnings about global warming, the firm advises, talk about "our deteriorating atmosphere." Drop discussions of carbon dioxide and bring up "moving away from the dirty fuels of the past." Don't confuse people with cap and trade; use terms like "cap and cash back" or "pollution reduction refund."

It's just like when the left realized it should shut up about socialism and start calling themselves progressives, but a turd is still a turd, even if you dress it up in the finest Democrat approved language.

The good news is that this is probably one of the signs that their whole fascist green movement is in a death spiral. Link
