Eco-Absurdity

Hurricanes seen from outer space

By Alan Caruba

There are no lengths and no depths to which Greens—environmentalists—will not go to advance the greatest hoax of the modern era. It used to be called “global warming”, but when that was exposed as based on falsified computer models put out by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the term “climate change” was adopted to mask it.

Billions of dollars have been wasted on claims of a massive increase of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth’s atmosphere and entire careers, organizations, and government agencies have been financed to advance the hoax.

So much depends on this cash flow that the fraud’s machinery continues to function. Yet another IPCC conference on climate change began on November 30 in Durban, South Africa for the purpose of extending the absurd Kyoto Protocols that some nations signed onto with the promise of reducing “greenhouse gas emissions.” The original protocols exempted China and India. The U.S. refused to participate and many industrial nations have indicated they have no intention of doing so this time around.

As just one example of this BIG LIE, on November 30 I received a news release from the Missouri State University stating that one of its professors was “delivering a message in Washington, D.C. today urging the nation’s leaders to address the moral issue surrounding climate change.”

Oh, so now global warming is a moral issue, too?

As I have frequently noted, climate is something measured in centuries, while weather is forecast in days and, even then, can prove to be incorrect. The definition of the weather is “chaos” as it is subject to change in just hours as various “fronts” shift course. Even the most powerful events like hurricanes are difficult to predict and the U.S. mainland has not been hit by one in years. By the time Hurricane Irene arrived on the East Coast this year, it had been downgraded to a tropical storm.

This and the revelations of “Climategate”, the thousands of emails exchanged by the IPCC meteorologists of the University of East Anglia’s climate center, has hardly made a dent on the frantic efforts to keep the global warming lie alive.

“Michael Nelson, MSU associate professor of environmental ethics and philosophy, is part of the Climate Ethics Campaign, a team of representatives from government agencies, business and environmental organizations delivering a national climate ethics statement to President Obama and Congress.”

Here’s where it really gets absurd. Having blamed global warming for everything, this gang of hucksters assert that “’Missing from the international debate is the deeply disturbing moral and ethical implications of climate change.’ Nelson said ‘Climate change is a real, dangerous and rapidly worsening problem that cannot be driven solely by short-term economics or national self-interest.’”

The level of fear-mongering reaches new heights with the Climate Ethics Campaign claim that “Climate change-related impacts are already harming and killing people here and abroad. Unless carbon pollution is rapidly reduced, the resulting natural disasters, floods, diseases, illnesses, water and food shortages, and environmental degradation, along with associated rising violence and social breakdown, will injure or kill millions more every year.”

So, there you have it. Either we spend billions on “climate change” or people will die and societies will suffer turmoil. Can you name a single day when the weather somewhere has not killed someone? Do societies experience turmoil because of the weather or because they oppress their population? And can anyone do anything about the weather? No.

I fully expect these charlatans to announce that Santa may not show up on Christmas Eve if we don’t do something about climate change..

The weather, deemed too warm or too cold, continues to be touted as the result of too much CO2 in the atmosphere even though it is a mere 0.038% of the atmosphere and meteorological science has established its impact is virtually non-existent. There is no correlation between its increase and the climate except that it shows up well after any change.

Prof. Nelson, apparently concerned that his job is on the line, said, “We want to urge every citizen to push for policies that reduce emissions and prepare for climate change.”

Some of those policies threaten to further undermine the nation’s economy in the form of the Environmental Protection Agency’s assertion that CO2 is a “pollutant” and is falsely trying to use the Clean Air Act to shut down every coal-fired plant for the generation of electricity—even though they provide fifty percent of all electricity generated.

These aren’t just bad policies based on utterly false and debased science, but they represent the real threat to the lives of all Americans and to the economy in general.

There is no real “ethical” component to climate change. There is only the need to clean up after a hurricane, blizzard or flood in order to help people get their lives in order again. That is already addressed in part by government agencies like FEMA.

The time has long since passed when the U.S. and other nations should pay any attention, let alone waste any more time and money on the “sustainable” schemes being pushed by the United Nations and the many organizations dependent on this massive fraud..

  1. Well let's see ...

    The world economy is in meltdown...

    Therefore,

    Clearly,

    Logically,

    And the science is settled on this issue!

    Climate change caused by excessive carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulted in the Great Recession starting in 2008. :-)

    Gee, ain't fun to be a climate scientist!

    Will you help me write a grant proposal to the EPA, Alan?

  2. For quite some time, I have watched the EPA and current administration actions regarding environmental issues. If one views what is taking place through the lens of UN Agenda 21 the evidence is clear. The EPA and the Obama administration are subservient to the UN's agenda of One World Government.

    Through the use of restrictive regulation and financial legislation regarding all kinds of environmental emissions and discharges, business and capitalism are being crippled if not completely strangled out of existence. All of this is done to subject nations, peoples and resources to the oversight of the UN. There is no need to look farther than UN Agenda 21 to locate the root of all of the eco-nonsense taking place around the world today.

  3. The archeologist in me has long held that "climate change" is real; always has been and will continue... (see Mars). I foresee that some in the not-distant-future will want to charge so-called "deniers" with crimes against humanity for weather related deaths (I'm sure seismic activity is one their agenda too, as its caused by extractions from the earth.

  4. Yes, Philip, there has been "climate change" for the last 4.5 billion years of Earth's existance and we are due any day now (in geologic time scales) for another Ice Age.

    The Eco-Liars would surely charge deniers with heresy because theirs is a religion, not science.

  5. Now that's a breath of fresh air...
    I have a copy of 'The Skeptical Environmentalist' on my bed-side. I strongly recommend it. I also recommend everyone familiarize themselves with the UN's 'Agenda 21.'
    Frightening reading for anyone who loves freedom.

  6. How ironic that a person so owned by the Agenda 21 partisans would lecture us on ethics.
