There has been a flurry of articles on global climate change the past couple of days. It all started with a scare tactic article that all seaboard cities will be under water in the future. They even named some of the most vulnerable.
The report takes inaccurate information and projects it out into the future as if nothing will change the curve. The result is that the temperature is warming and all the ice in the world melts. Now this is a ridiculous article on its face. First of all, no projection is ever accurate when taking things out on a straight line basis. You cannot go back over any 10 or more year period and make any backward projections that are even remotely accurate. So, to run this projection out 100 years is scientifically dishonest. It does allow them to scare people with a false scare and that is the point. That is the only reason the study was even done.
Humans account for 3.4% of the carbon dioxide emissions every year. That means that 96.4% of the emissions come from natural sources that we have no control over. There is no connection with carbon dioxide levels going up and the resulting rise in temperature. The carbon dioxide levels always follow the curve, not lead the curve.
During the Jurassic period there was about 9 times more carbon dioxide in the air than we have now. Plants are designed to operate efficiently at carbon dioxide levels much higher than we have right now. That the carbon dioxide levels are rising is no problem for the natural system. It will take care of it and bring the levels down before long.
Politicians like this global climate change hysteria. When everyone is afraid of climate change, they can impose new taxes and regulations in the name of climate change and people will accept them. There is talk of taxing all houses that are in excess of 3000 square feet. Politicians are trying to tack on new energy taxes.
What are the politicians doing with all these new taxes? They are trying to buy votes in their districts. They are funding boondoggle projects in their districts to help buy votes. Buying votes with your money is a time honored tradition of almost all politicians. There are a few that know that the money they get in taxes is really your money they have taken. Most politicians feel that all money is theirs and they allow you to keep the money they do not get as taxes.
What it all boils down to is this; politicians have figured out that global climate change is a perfect way to get people to accept taxes and restrictions on their freedoms they would not otherwise accept. If they couch the tax or restriction as being to save the planet, who can object? They then can impose the communist ideology that they truly want to impose on us. The reason they want to impose communist ideology on us is that it keeps them in power and out of the way of all the restrictions. Even though communism and socialism has failed every time it has been tried, these politicians believe they can do it. They are better people than all those older attempts at imposing communism.
Communism will fail here as well as everywhere else it is tried. It runs counter to what human instincts are. People do not want to be told what to do all the time. They do not want control over everything they see and hear. People want to be able to choose what to do. They want freedom to choose. Communism takes that away from them. For that reason, communism will fail. The imposition of communism will destroy America and all it has stood for these 230+ years. We cannot let that happen. We cannot let it start with the imposition of these “save the planet” taxes and restrictions. It will mean a lower standard of living for everyone in the country and the world. This lower standard of living will be for now and far into the future.
