Climate hysteria--the "perfect propaganda tool"
An opinion piece in the Toronto Sun by Lorrie Goldstein titled, Cool the climate hysteria, makes the point that the climate change/global warming/global cooling hysteria being foisted off as fact is the "perfect propaganda tool:"
Discouraging, isn't it.
On a related subject, Walter E Williams, columnist and economist extraordinaire, wrote a brilliant piece on the Big Corn and Ethanol Hoax. Be sure to read it!
This blog first examined the ethanol hoax here about a year ago. More people are waking up to this bogus panacea which is wasting energy and causing food prices to sky rocket around the world. That, of course, takes its toll on those least able to afford it; the poor.
Still, Big Govt and vote hungry politicians spout failing and failed policies because the masses are largely uninformed and the green movement just feels good!
Global warming is the gift that keeps on giving to climate hysterics.Be sure to read the whole thing and keep in mind that all three of the presidential candidates agree that climate change is man-caused which translates into more confiscatory taxation, higher energy costs and greater dependence on foreign oil.
For those already pre-disposed to being anti-western, anti-development, anti-growth, anti-capitalist and most of all, anti-U.S., it's the perfect propaganda tool.
After all, as they screech, the survival of the Earth itself is at stake and they alone are on the side of the angels. They alone care about the legacy we will leave our grandchildren.
To this crowd, the rest of us are "climate deniers," in a league with the devil, in the pay of Big Oil and out to destroy ... uh ... ourselves.
Even better for climate hysterics, they will never be called to account for their simple-minded campaign to demonize fossil fuels, which is aimed more at arbitrarily controlling human behaviour -- and for so-called "green" politicians, raising taxes -- than reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
That's because everyone alive today will be dead long before we know how much of the scientific "consensus" on global warming is correct.
Discouraging, isn't it.
