Daily Rant – December 2, 2009

December 2, 2009

After a wonderful vacation in Hawaii, I am ready to get back to work. This Obama bum is getting on my nerves. I don’t care if he is the President of the US, he dishonors the office. But in the meantime, here is an article I posted about the global warming hoax.

Man Made Global Warming Hoax Exposed – OPINION

My biggest beef with the “science” of man-made global warming is that this hoax is being used to make policies which are hurting America. If people believed it and went on about their business, that would be one thing. But they are in our government which is forcing all sorts of decisions and taxes upon us based on this lie.

It has been shown that prosperity creates a cleaner environment so why would environmentalists want to trade all that for everyone living in a hut and pooping in a compost? Sheryl Crowe wants us all to be limited to one square of toilet paper. So much craziness abounds. Why would that be?

Because if there is no crisis, there are no dollars. If the earth only has 10 years before all is lost (as was reported 20 years ago), who wouldn’t throw billions of dollars at studies to see if we could reverse the trend? Seas were supposed to boil, crops were going to burn, forests were going to become deserts. So under this pretense, what we did was throw money at the problem to try and solve it. The problem was, the crisis was created to tug at our heart strings and pull at our wallets. Plus, no progress has ever been reported, no matter how much money we seem to spend.

The media has gone right along with the hoax as willing accomplices. Even commercials have gotten into the act and jumped on the “save the planet” bandwagon. All of this reinforces the notion that global warming is really happening. The only problem is that no warming has happened for the past 10 years. And why has the sun’s activity been taken out of the discussion altogether?

When having my discussion with seemingly reasonable people about the latest discovery of the e-mails illustrating the scam being perpetrated by many in the “global warming industry”, I often come up against the argument that man has certainly made his share of messes in the world. While true, is this evidence that man is causing global warming? Or that the earth’s temperatures are really rising? I don’t think so. I admit man can make a mess of things. But how long would the destruction last if we just left that area alone to nature?

In Panama, a project we are involved in was stopped for over two years because of financial and union issues and was essentially deserted. They had to hire people to “beat back” the jungle which kept threatening to overtake the land that had been cleared and building had begun. Many of the structures that had been started had to be torn down and rebuilt because of decay and pests after construction started up again. My point is, even on a small scale, this shows how nature finds a way to reclaim what was once belonged to it. If the earth recovers when man goes away, isn’t this same recovery happening while we are standing around in the middle of it? Over time, the earth recovers because there is a greater intelligence running things.

So if we can’t count on science to tell us the truth based on the facts, then it just becomes politics. If people are ignoring facts to prove a preconceived conclusion, then they are not scientists, but manipulators. And make no mistake; these people are zealots. As with any zealot, they have their followers.

Actor Ed Begley Jr. and people like him live their whole lives around the global warming lie. They are so invested in being right, they bristle when challenged at the notion that maybe they have been lied to. As a result they become willing dupes in the propaganda. Because of their notoriety, people listen to them and believe what they are saying, even though they have no background in science. Will we ever get an apology from them? I think they are so invested in being right that they will go to their graves convinced they are right, regardless of the truth. Just like the people who believe that 9/11 was a planned event, they will not be talked out of their beliefs.

Al Gore, king of the environmental movement, has a house that consumes many times the amount of energy as a common household does in year. While flying around the world in his huge jet from appearance to appearance, he tells us we must all do our share to cut our carbon output. I say walk the talk, Al.

What really amazes me is Gore’s carbon credit scam. In Mill Valley, I see people proudly displaying “TerraPass” bumper stickers saying to the world, “I’m gullible as hell!” The mathematics of this scam don’t work out. Let me get this straight. They are paying for the privilege to pollute more than their share by buying credits from someone who doesn’t pollute as much? How does that REDUCE carbon output? It doesn’t. We are also told these carbon offset companies will plant a few trees on your behalf. Has anyone proven that the trees actually been planted? And has anyone done the math on how many trees it takes to offset the carbon footprint of one person? I just don’t believe the earth is that delicate.

Gore still guzzling energy like a maniac

July 2, 2008

We really are for people using as much energy as they need. Afterall, it’s a free country. But what about if that person is someone who is preaching conservation? Isn’t that a little hypocritical? It’s like saying, “You conserve your energy so I have more to use.” Though this story is only slightly related to the gasoline crisis, it does point to some of the people who are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Al Gore [clueless] has been one of the leading faces on the man-made global warming crisis telling us to conserve and save the planet. But what is he doing? Newsmax broke this story today:

Former Vice President Al Gore is warning you and every other American we must drastically change our lifestyles and reduce our energy consumption. But Gore continues to fly private jets wasting thousands of gallons of carbon fuels — and a recent study of his home energy use found that Gore’s Tennessee home burned through 213,210 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, enough to power 232 average American households for a month.

Like we said, if people want to use energy and pay for it, that’s their business. But when they tell us we are using too much, and we need to cut down because we are heating the planet, and then continue to ignore their own warnings and use limitless amounts of energy, something needs to be said. It is hypocritical. My guess is he’s covering himself by purchasing carbon credits. But as most intelligent people can figure out, those are a scam. NewsBusters eloguently explains it.
