"The Climate-Industrial Complex"

The Wall Street Journal Opinion Journal online has an ingenius moniker for the entire industry that is benefiting from the so-called global warming hoax and sheeple driven "green movement". They call it the The Climate-Industrial Complex. I hope the term goes viral. Here's a portion of the piece written by Bjorn Lomborg:

Some business leaders are cozying up with politicians and scientists to demand swift, drastic action on global warming. This is a new twist on a very old practice: companies using public policy to line their own pockets.

The tight relationship between the groups echoes the relationship among weapons makers, researchers and the U.S. military during the Cold War. President Dwight Eisenhower famously warned about the might of the "military-industrial complex," cautioning that "the potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." He worried that "there is a recurring temptation to feel that some spectacular and costly action could become the miraculous solution to all current difficulties."

This is certainly true of climate change. We are told that very expensive carbon regulations are the only way to respond to global warming, despite ample evidence that this approach does not pass a basic cost-benefit test. We must ask whether a "climate-industrial complex" is emerging, pressing taxpayers to fork over money to please those who stand to gain.

It's an important piece. We need to be keenly aware of who stands to make big money over this forced phenomenon, starting with politicians like Al Gore, who has made a vast fortune scaring entire generations into "going green".

Climate-Industrial Complex indeed.
