Global Warming Novel - continued
At one time or another in our lives we all have heard the old saying “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with B.S.” And B.S. does not stand for Barbara Streisand. Another saying suggests that “Offense is the best Defense.” Couple these two and you have NASA scientist James Hansen who celebrated the twentieth anniversary of his appearance before a Congressional Committee in 1988 with another appearance in Congress. These sort of claims make it very clear that common sense and reasoning is not used to analyze this problem.
In 1988, Mr. Hansen told Congress that Global Warming was fact and that mankind had only twenty years left before irreparable damage would be inflicted on the planet, a point of no return if you will. Well, the twenty years are up, and so, Mr. Hansen was back in Congress on June 23 and warned of even greater and graver consequences if mankind would not take immediate action to thwart Global Warming. And once again, he warned that the planet had only twenty years left before we would reach a point of no return. But to strengthen his message, he also recommended to the Congressional Committee membership that the CEO’s of fossil energy companies “should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature.” A recommendation most likely anchored in Mr. Hansen’s belief that they, the CEO’s of Big Oil, had disagreed with him during the past two decades by supporting opposing viewpoints and actively lobbying against laws to curb global warming.
The arrogance of this man exemplifies the extreme beliefs of the Global Warming Scare Mongers (GWSM), led for many years by their number one spokesman Al Gore, who by the way, has reportedly made more than one hundred million dollars on this fraud. They have claimed for years now that the debate over global warming is over and that it is time to act when in fact, there has never been a debate on that subject. This is like someone coming to your front door and asking you for a thousand dollar donation for an as yet to be determined cause and when questioned will add “that it will make you feel better because it is for a good cause and that they might come back again in a few months.” Let’s face it, folks: This is all about your money and restrictions of your freedoms and lifestyles, nothing more and nothing less!
If these “planet-saving” advocates would be serious, they would lead by example. They would reduce their own carbon footprint to show us all that it is possible to live with less comfort. Are they doing this? Of course not! Their lifestyles (including their travels) have not changed one iota and they tell you that they can continue to live the way they live because they have “bought carbon offsets”. We wonder why no journalist or media person ever bothers to ask the simple follow-up question: “Excuse me, Sir, what exactly does that mean? What are you ‘buying’ to reduce your carbon footprint and how much does it cost you?” We do not get answers to these simple questions because nobody dares asking the questions. It is shameful to say at the least. What is even more shameful is that on May 20, 2008, a list of over 31,000 scientists who refute global warming was released. We all read the lengthy articles on the front pages of our favorite newspapers, right? We all heard this news on the evening broadcasts of all television stations, right? NO, WE DID NOT! Compare that to the coverage the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Pro Climate Change advocates, conference in Bali last December received, the papers were full of it for several days.
We have to ask at this point: Could there possibly be a hidden agenda in all this? We strongly believe there is, there should be no doubt about it. When the Global Warming alarmists conspire with the media to ignore the International Conference of Climate Change Skeptics in New York this past March, and the signature lists of over thirty thousand scientists, there must be a reason for it, we at this site are convinced of it. And we are asking them:”If you are so very convinced that you are correct about your beliefs, why should you be afraid to debate them with individuals of opposing views and beliefs.” While we here Common Sense Politics are not scientists, we have enough common sense to doubt what we are being told (and sold). Please, we beg you, one more time, you Global Warming advocates: “Dazzle us with your brilliance and respond to your critics!” Do not try to baffle us with B.S., remember it smells.
Finally, we like to suggest for you all to read the speech Mr. John Coleman before the San Diego Chamber of Commerce in early June of this year. Mr. Coleman is an experienced meteorologist with the San Diego television station KUSI. While it is lengthy, it is definitely worth the time it takes to read it. He gives some very specific examples of why he is a global warming skeptic.
