If we are holding up our end of the democracy bargain, that is being informed voters with an expectation of good governance, our vote will be determined by issues we have studied and have informed opinions about. One such issue requiring study is Climate Change a.k.a. Global Warming.
That man through the combustion of fossil fuels can alter climate is the biggest swindle in human history. It is promulgated by control obsessed politicians, their sycophant media who wouldn’t know a molecule from a molar and the environmental lobbies grubbing for grant money. Prime mover is the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) whose raison d’etre is to scam money from first world countries for the benefit of the general assembly.
They all know it’s false, evidenced by really clumsy attempts at covering up the short comings of this bogus ‘science’. Deniers (to be associated with Holocaust deniers) are dismissed as outliers to this ‘settled science’. At the moment this was written, Googling “climate change deniers” got 470,000 responses.
When the U.S. government, which we freely elected, chooses to embrace and enforce climate change rules by executive orders, the economic impact is felt worldwide and it begins by putting development of cheap fossil fuel resources off limits. The effect is shown graphically:

When the U.S. government, which we freely elected, chooses to embrace and enforce climate change rules by executive orders, the economic impact is felt worldwide and it begins by putting development of cheap fossil fuel resources off limits. The effect is shown graphically:
If you divide the aggregate total of the difference in consumer spending, would be and actual, by $40,000 average salary and divide that by two under the assumption that labor is half the cost of producing goods, you find that 31,111,657 more people would need to be employed to produce the goods and services sold in a healthy economy. Since many of these originate overseas, the effect has been felt worldwide, especially by those at the bottom rung of the economic ladder.Plotting data from the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Commerce together, illustrates the impact of the run up in crude oil pricing in 2008. Peaking at $147/barrel, caused a precipitous drop in consumer spending with many cascading consequences. The “consumer spending would be” is a projection of increases, with respect to time, over the years.
Shifting Blame for a Non-Event
Since environmental activists in general and climate change lobbyists in particular have been an important part of the administration support team, a scapegoat had to be trotted out to take the blame for a slowing economy – and there was one handy.
Using the U.S. Energy Information Agency figures, a comparison of average energy costs to a family of four between the last four years of Clinton with the last four years of Bush 43, showed these had gone up $642/month under Bush. This includes energy costs for transportation, heating, electricity and the pass along transportation costs of getting goods to market.
Families had become accustomed to using credit resources to handle geopolitically inspired spikes in crude oil costs since the 1973 Arab oil embargo drove the price up from $3 a barrel to $5 a barrel but at prices topping $100, this was no spike – it stayed there. With credit resources exhausted combined with job losses, eventually the monthly mortgage payment became a casualty of climate change. And the “housing bubble” was invented along with the vilification of “greedy” lenders and “stupid” buyers.
No attempt is made to explain how one molecule of carbon dioxide can impart measurable heat to the other 2499 molecules. CO2 has no physical properties which could remotely cause this to happen. Such an occurrence would be like powering the lights of a major sports stadium through a single household extension cord.
Lies, Damn Lies and Hockey Sticks
Ice core samples taken to examine weather conditions going back thousands of year disclosed that warm periods were accompanied by higher concentrations of CO2,proving the science for the climate change folks. Closer examination showed that the high concentrations occurred at the end of the warm cycle from oceans who give up CO2 when their temperature increase. No discussion is offered about what caused the warming to begin with, a neat reversal of cause and effect.
The most egregious climate change chicanery was formation of the “Hockey Stick” curve.
In 1990, the IPCC said that this was probably the temperature pattern for the last thousand years
In 1994, the IPCC proclaimed the 20th century was the warmest in history prompting an internal email saying we have to get rid of the Medieval warm period.
Dr. Michael Mann of the Department of Geosciences at Massachusetts University proceeded to construct a temperature curve from tree ring analysis. He simply added current temperature records to the end of his curve.
Money buys influence and there are so many of them in politics that ‘face value’ is a depressed currency. Climate Change is a prime example. All this information is available on the internet plus there are many good books on the subject. Voters who complain about government and the people who win elections have only themselves to blame.
