Sunday Skool: I Cap ‘n Trade Yer Ass

We might as well pray to the Sun God for a more hospitable climate. Prayer would be about as effective as “carbon credits.”

Anthropogenic Global Warming Theory (AGW) was developed in order to herd investors into a new economic bubble: Cap and Trade, or The Tax That Dare Not Speak Its Name. Nevermind that one cannot stimulate an economy by taxing it:  So-called “growth” would be achieved by artificially raising commodity prices.  As with the so-called “stimulus” bill we ordinary citizens are to be shaken down AGAIN for whatever spare change is left in our pockets.

Obama can speechify all he wants but it’s not going to work: Citizens are finally waking up, because they’re BROKE.

The carbon trading bill is probably dead on arrival in the U.S. Senate but the zombie minions of The Powers That Be (TPTB) keep marching along, figuring they can use repetition and threats to cow skeptics into submission.  They’re getting boring and shrill: Al Gore pretty much Godwined the whole argument last week. Why is that bloviating gasbag still in the media?  Hasn’t the man been utterly discredited, especially given his own energy consumption habits and lavish lifestyle?

It’s unfair and insulting to characterize AGW skeptics as SUV-driving, Exxon-loving pigs, using emotionally loaded WWII-era Holocaust terminology. Many skeptics are also environmentalists. For what it’s worth I’m as ecologically conscious as I can be given my lot in life since I care about my health and my child’s future. I don’t have to believe in crap scientific theories before I’ll get off my ass to do good things for the environment.

There are economic benefits to being “Green:”   I don’t like to spend a lot of money on energy.  Who does?  I economize whenever and wherever I can: Installing energy-efficient windows, driving a hybrid car, turning down the heat and using space heaters during the winter, etc. I even have a solar powered generator and a solar oven! However, I’m economically privileged and can afford to purchase these things (except the oven: It’s cheap).  Poor people shouldn’t be made to suffer artificially high energy costs because they can’t afford efficient technologies, all because a bunch of statist control freaks have grand plans for “global governance.”

That’s right, I said “Global Governance.” With a sneer.  Al Gore says cap and trade will help to bring about World Government. Bah hahahahahah!

We are witnessing the use of a lie to create a national ponzi scheme of rationed energy to enrich the Goracle and his merry band of globalist thieves. This is why the AGW storyline is basically an IQ Test: If you fall for the bamboozle and propaganda, you are said to “care” about the environment, but it also means you are sufficiently dumbed down and gullible enough to be herded like sheep, which makes the globalistas happy. On the other hand if you are clever enough see through the cap and trade scam you are a denialist and worse than Hitler and are a threat to State authority and thus should be hunted down and prosecuted.

I’m tired of the predations of the State. If the State really cared about ecological sustainability it would pay more attention to pollution, garbage dumping, and chemical, biological, and genetically engineered contaminants instead of imposing their carbon credit bubble economy on an increasingly skeptical public.  The State can kiss my ass. I’d be an anti-AGW political activist if I thought it mattered.  I don’t think it does, because I’m pretty sure the whole scheme is DOA:  Basically it’s all over but for the privileged whining. The death of the U.S. dollar and the crashing economy will cut our fossil fuel use in any case.  I suppose the chattering classes will chalk it up as a . . . erhm . . . “success” of sorts. Whatever.

A more believable explanation for climate change is that we live and die by our place in the Universe relative to our sun, which does its own thing relative to its place in our galaxy.  The Universe is a dynamic place, and climate changes because it is meant to change.  Our job as humans is to deal with it, and we don’t need global governance and a global tax to adjust to the Otherworldly cards we’ve been dealt.
