Global Warming Explained
Global Warming Explained (For The Average Person)
Ideas, Ideals and Issues
Like most forerunners, I have been motivated by ideas, guided by ideals, and passionate about issues all of my life. I have considered it my duty to know as much as I could about the issues I was interested in and I didn’t mind doing the research to establish my position on an issue. In the early days of the global warming debate, I listened to scientists from both sides explain their graphs and adamantly assert their beliefs. I sat figuratively on the sidelines for years wondering why the two sides were so opposite and why they argued as if there was so much at stake.
Then Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” hit the screen and the debate became less scientific, more public, and far more political. The science of the film was without a doubt “suspect” and very emotional. I began to wonder where this was going. I was also suspicious about why the major US media promoted global warming and minimized or discredited otherwise recognized authorities on climate who strongly disagreed with the IPCC theory that man-made CO2 was the cause of global warming. The turning point in this journey was reading the “Cap and Trade” law which is currently making its way through the US Senate. It was then that I realized that global warming had very little to do with science and saving the planet and a lot to do with money, power, and control. I decided to plot the historical course of the issue and project into the future what I think will happen so that the average person can understand what the global warming issue is really about and what is at stake.
Global Warming Explained (For The Average Person)
- In the beginning, some scientists think the world is getting warmer.
- The UN sets up an official panel to promote the views of these scientists (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – IPCC).
- About 2500 scientists join their ranks.
- The official platform of the IPCC becomes: we can identify the problem but science can’t fix it – we have to cut our carbon emissions – we are sure of that!!
- When the “science” of global warming becomes known, 31,000 scientists and climate experts in the USA sign a petition denouncing the theory. Scientists from around the world join their ranks.
- No one really knows for sure if there is climate change, or if there is, what is causing it.
- A politician appears in a film which makes “global warming” a household word.
- There is a lawsuit over the “facts” and a judge calls the film “political propaganda” and requires it to be labeled as such in the UK.
- No one says anything about the film’s misrepresentations – more scientists join the opposition.
- The major media promotes the global warming campaign and marginalizes the opponents.
- People start to believe there is a problem and activists get into the game of saving the planet.
- It becomes social leprosy to question the science of the IPCC’s climate change campaign for those in and out of science.
- A war erupts between the “warmers” and the “skeptics” – the politicians have to step in.
- Politicians refuse to take testimony from global warming opponents in “hearings” in the US and UK – why confuse the issue?
- Politician-turned-filmmaker-activist starts carbon trading company along with other Wall Street “notables” to profit from a system that does not yet exist– what does he know that we don’t??
- Unexpected resistance from credible climate authorities is dismissed by politician/filmmaker as kooks or crooks. Ironic
- Major stock exchanges set up trading facilities to handle Cap and Trade (carbon credit trading) businesses years before there is a carbon tax law.
- Obama projects $680B income from Cap and Trade (taxes) in his 2012 budget.
- Politicians, businesses, and scientists are “sure” that only by introducing a Cap and Trade Carbon tax can they save the planet – they didn’t want to do it – they have to!
- Lobbying gets exemptions for most of the biggest polluters.
- India denounces the global warming “crisis” as a product of the western media.
- More nations join the “denouncers”
- Carbon emissions fall 2.6% in 2009 (the most in 40 years)- yet the carbon trading scheme is pushed forward by politicians.
The temperature of the ocean and land continue to fall – yet the carbon trading scheme is pushed forward by politicians.
Scientist and politicians insist there is only one way to fix the problem – carbon credit trading.
- Businesses who are given carbon credit trading licenses (politician/filmmaker included) are now making boat loads of money – more than anyone could spend.
- The scientists who said there was no solution to global warming except cutting carbon emissions now have a solution – “we can save the planet without changing your lifestyle, just give us the money”.
- Politicians who supported the global warming (scam) are now getting kickbacks from the carbon traders in the form of carbon credits which are better than money and totally unregulated. – “Who thought of this great idea!!!”
- Governments are getting their piece of the action from the carbon tax, the rest goes to “offsetting” the emissions – this is great for the economy!
- The highest consuming nations (the US included) actually get rewarded for their unbridled consumption because every company who sells them products has to buy carbon credits from them. Don’t you just love it!!
- The US Government and their “friends” are getting rich collecting carbon credit (taxes) from everyone on the planet. Consumption and credit income is up – “thank God, we were in trouble there for awhile!”
- The IPCC now has unprecedented powers – no one dares challenge them – there is too much at stake.
- Scientists who don’t cooperate with the “IPCC” are branded as “environmental terrorists” – “disgusting people, get off the planet!”
- Scientists get all the money they want to “experiment” with cutting carbon emissions without cutting consumption – and they are getting rich too!
- They of course can’t solve the problem “overnight” – it’s far too complex for that, but given enough time and money they will stop the “sky from falling”.
- The average guy is getting hosed for thousands of bucks a year – but that’s not the worst of it.
- Carbon cops are monitoring everybody’s every move in the name of saving the planet.
- Democracy and freedom are redefined as “living green our way ” – we thought 9-11 changed our lives.
- Orwell rolls in his grave.
- The rich are getting richer on the carbon trading scheme – they pay their carbon tax with glee.
- The planet is no better off – probably worse.
- The decimation of our forests and seas (a real cause of climate change, if there is change) are forgotten – didn’t we solve that problem?
- The US and UK force nations who trade with them to get into the game and “save the planet” or be penalized.
- No one can buy or sell anything without Carbon Credits – “everyone and everything has to be monitored!”
- The IPCC and their “science” becomes the final authority on just about everything – uniting everyone under one great religion.
- They put an implant in your forehead or your hand so they know who’s playing the game and who’s not.
- The US controls the Carbon Credit “World Currency” and world-wide commerce – why shouldn’t they, it’s their “game” – besides the US dollar was worthless.
- Round two of “pillage the nations of the earth”.
- Nice thing about this “deal” is there is something in it for everyone – but the average person.
P.S. 30 year ago scientists said the planet was cooling. Today, the oceans have been ”inconveniently” cold and the hockey stick graph that Big Al used to prove global warming in his film is now about as realistic as his claims that he invented the Internet. It’s not CO2 that is causing global warming, it’s low IQ.
