JLA, on the hot air global warming problem, that's retarded democrat politician having a hissy fit so bad that they are raising the temperature of the planet.
THE WEEK/Hot Air
The global warming debate reveals that plutomores—rich fools—have reached
high positions in the Administration of George W. Bush. Apparently fooled
by copious coverage of the Democratic "victory" in Florida, many
Republican grandees remain baffled by the presence of conservatives in
Washington. Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill actually came to believe that
he was moving to the city to serve as a token Republican in the
administration of Al Gore. The Alcoa corpocrat devoted his first Cabinet
presentation to an earnest tract on global warming, urging his baffled
companions to save the planet from Republican religionists apparently
awaiting the second coming in rubber boots on Long Island beaches and golf
courses. He all but said the Earth Is In the Balance.
Washington is not alone. In a scientific establishment fifty percent
financed by government, scores of scientists have undergone the pressures
that befall any critic of the cult of human-caused global warming.
Fortunately, not all. My friend Arthur Robinson has been battling climate
doom sayers for a decade from his Oregon redoubt. Craig and Keith Idso's
Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global
Change--www.co2science.org --picks up pieces the heat-addled press won't
touch, including a trenchant summation by Columbia's National Medal of
Science winning climatologist Wallace Broecker in the prestigious pages of
Science earlier this year. Entitled “Was the Medieval Warm Period
Global?,” Broecker's answer is a resounding “yes,” and builds the case for
a series of climatic warmings spaced at roughly 1500 year intervals.
Harvard astrophysicists Sallie Baliunas and Willie Soon, citing evidence
from peat bogs in northeastern China, have extended the record of such
swings back a full six millennia. They report changes in the Sun's energy
output 70,000 times more significant than all human activity put together.
In the end, the global warming panic will take its place in the history
books next to other environmental chimeras, such as the threat of DDT (but
not of pandemic malaria), the peril of nuclear power (but not of coal
mining), the brain curdling effect of cell phones (but not of far more
potent sun rays), the menace of power lines (but not of poverty).
Politicized scientists with government grants and dubious computer models
persuaded the world’s politicians to make pompous fools of themselves in
Kyoto. Socialist politicians were happy to join a movement to impose
regulation over the world energy supply, and thus over the world economy.
The science is blowing up in their faces. But rather than admit error they
persist in fear-mongering. When this happened with DDT, hundreds of
millions of people died of malaria. They continue to die. How many people
would die as a result of an energy clamp on global capitalism?
