Debating The Global Warming “Crisis” Scam
I'm not going to promote or defend the idea of clogging the skies with soot or turning nature into a dismal gray land of death. Indeed, clean skies, water, and oceans are a nice thing, a good thing, the right thing. But...a scam is a scam. There are plenty of web sites, books, and scientists that debunk the latest con-game of statist scare tactics. Unfortunately, like so much in the land of socialism inc., a virtual monopoly is held on the issue by mainstream media outlets, entertainment and, “education.” From elementary kids on up, citizens are told of impending doom unless we stop in our evolutionary tracks and learn to cooperate with the mandates and restraints of an evermore powerful state.
We don't hear much regarding the question as to why there was a pesky Medieval Warming Period in which average temperatures were higher than those of the present. We don't hear much regarding the Little Ice Age of four centuries ago. The question is seldom publically noted as to why kilometer deep ice sheets are better, or more "natural" climate conditions than an average temperature increase of less than one degree during the last century (or why the greater part of that increase didn't occur when the greatest industrial surge took place). Then there is the troublesome -- “Why is there global warming on Mars?” To address such questions would frame the global warming scare in a more sober light and maybe citizens would be less compliant in helping to trash their economies and lifestyles.
The left has, rightly, found the global warming scam to be a highly effective sacred cow to promote their usual agenda; a controlled centrally planned economy, a United States reduced in power and progress, and a world where everyone bows before the dictates of bureaucrats and philosopher kings.
The causes and possible “cures” to global warming should indeed be debated, but one side doesn't seem to like that idea very much – after all there is global warming on Mars (what's up with that?).
Al Gore, hypocrite extraordinaire, has become a hero to the international socialist clown-parade. No doubt he'll get a politically motivated Nobel Prize (left-wing, anti-U.S. Views have become one of the major criterions for receiving the Noble Prize for "peace," and even literature, now). Gore's movie is considered a documentary masterpiece (we've heard that bogus accolade before with Michael Moore's deceptive opinion pieces). Lets see, is it the brilliant cinematography of having a boring man show film clips of Hurricanes that elevates Gore's documentary to the level of high art in film making?
In any event, scare yourselves silly. Demand a more powerful government so we can eventually live in the style of North Korea's “superior system” (the inevitable result of the socialist ideal fully implementing it's stupid obsession with “equality” and an all powerful state).
If you disagree with the hype, or at least have some questions you'd like to see answered from either side of the issue, please sign this petition (thanks to my friend, Subhaash, for bringing it to my attention) – and get Al Gore to tell us how driving your car is melting the polar ice caps on Mars.

p.s. for what it's worth, I haven't owned a car in over 20 years (but keep hearing of the need for me to agree with the global warming lobby -- from people who drive cars)
