All
leftist politics is based on the notion of redistribution of wealth through the
mechanisms of taxes, violent revolution or intimidation mediated with lies and
misinformation assisted with propaganda. This current tax exercise began with
the 1990 Kyoto Protocol. There have been several phony ‘programs’ and examples
of proposed international legislation that seek to reverse the rise of temperature
attributed to human activity. There are no firm scientific data that show a
correlation of carbon dioxide gas levels in the atmosphere that mathematically
correlates with temperature changes. The scientific method demands that any
hypothesis must incorporate all pertinent data into any model that may be
proposed. The problem with their conclusions and predictions is that cause and
effect of the ‘pollutant’ gas, known as carbon dioxide (CO2) and other
greenhouse gases (GHGs) is shown to change in manner that does not match a similar trend in
temperature. The matter is complex and many scientists and political operatives
vie for power and juicy research grants in this exercise in politics. [1]
I
am a retired senior research scientist from the chemical industry, an inventor
and product developer with six patents, 24 peer-reviewed scientific papers and
a dozen successful products that have generated more than 50 million dollars in
sales. I was skeptical about the Kyoto Protocols as only the United States was to
make major cuts in fossil fuel energy production giving a ‘pass’ to China and
India and most of third world. I was finally convinced when I attended a
lengthy and in-depth scientific presentation by Professor David Legates of University of Delaware . [2]
His presentation was very direct in terms of what the data show and how models
cannot predict the outcomes of weather. He has no political agenda. More proof
that this thesis on Global Warming is political comes from the Delaware governor.
Governor Ruth Ann Minner, a Democrat, who has a G.E.D. as her crowning academic
achievement, demonstrated that this was a political dissertation when she “…
prohibited Legates from using his title as state climatologist of Delaware in
his public statements related to climate change” [3]
Translated, this means that any opposition to this attempt to raise global
taxes must be suppressed and that any smear tactics available to politicians
may be used at will. She also supports the phony and expensive Bluewater Wnd
project that will hike electricity costs some 500% . [4]We
are led to believe that the facts are in and commentary is not allowed. We
heard this in other political arenas such as busing, welfare, The Great Society
and more. The left only exists economically on the products and wealth of their
victims and a chance for a massive tax increase cannot be ignored.
Matching
the mental menisculicity of Minner is Al Gore, the famous scientist from Tennessee who also
presents ‘scientific’ proof that the temperature is rising with charts and
graphs. The Russians have recently published their comments on this political
circus pointing out that the sun has the controlling effect on global
temperatures and that a cooling period may be next. [5]
The eminent scientist Al Gore has announced that the scientific matter is
‘closed’ and we must begin with carbon emission caps and work out some kind of
carbon credit market to solve this problem. Did Al Gore flunk out of seminary?
The fact that Gore and his father are intimately intertwined with Marxism
for a few generations out to be tip off as the far left wants to attack capitalism and curtailing
the energy usage is the best way. Hillary Clinton endorses this ‘cap and
credit’ system on her current website. [6]
Her ties with Marxism and taxation are legendary.[7]
The Petition Reads:
“We urge the United States government to reject
the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto , Japan
in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on
greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and
technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.
There is no convincing scientific evidence that human
release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or
will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's
atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases
in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural
plant and animal environments of the Earth.”[8]
I
have a general distrust of politicians as their craft is not based on truth but
on persuasion. The disgraced Russian politician and pseudo scientist Lysenko
and US
liberals have much in common.[9]
When I see some movement where huge tax revenues are to be directed into
specific areas where politicians or their supplicants may benefit I become
suspicious. I have commented before on Global Warming. [10] We saw some ‘computer
models’ predict 14 major hurricanes after Katrina of the next year [there were
zero] and ‘about the same’ for 2007 and we also saw zero! Where is the
top-shelf science in weather prediction when we get 0 for 14 twice in a
row? We saw the beginning of this brand
of phony science with the 1972 with the publication of the book The Limits to Growth [11]
, a book that made hilarious predictions and made the authors look like fools
as they used their ‘computer model’ to alert us that we would run out of out of
oil by 1992, diminish our supplies
of copper and lead about the same time and then run out of natural gas by 1993. Is there no shame here? Can the political
left think they can just make wild predictions and that we must follow their
follies? Why can they not explain where their predictions went wrong? The answer is political.
We
must remember Rachel Carson’ Silent Spring[12]
and the phony ‘science’ behind the DDT ban that was not based on good science.
This was a political victory for the far left who vacated the government pressure
groups world wide when the USSR
crashed in 1989. That is when the Sierra Club and other organizations suffered
an influx of far left political operatives who have only an attack on
capitalism as their thrust. I have discussed some of this phony science before.[13]
This is not science; this is gutter-level politics of the far left. Their
psychotic hatred of capitalism is driving this phony Global Warming Circus as a means
of producing the biggest tax haul in the history of the Universe.
The current
Global Warming effort is political and destructive to our economy.
Vote
accordingly

[11] The Limits to Growth in

“…
one of her[Carson ] chapters reads like a Lillian Hellman play
and was entitled: “A Fable for Tomorrow” that outlined how “life had been silenced” by the
pesticide DDT.
Or we could mention Margaret Mead’s crass political stunt[13]
in the infamous and phony Coming of Age
in Samoa replete with maudlin theater and
‘definitive’ research that was limited to an interview from a single couple. We
must note that these two pieces of phony science are still celebrated by many
so-called scientists in the best traditions of Lysenko. There is no science in
these two examples, but science is implied and the correct political message is
loudly touted. That is enough for a political crusade.
