The evidence being used that man’s use of fossil fuels is causing the planet to warm is not consistent with fact. Earth isn’t even warming. Temperatures have not increased in any appreciable way in almost two decades. And it wasn’t man who caused the end of the last Ice Age when there really was global warming.
According to media reports, some poor countries say they’re victims of weather disasters, their residents becoming refugees escaping catastrophe. These nations want the U.S. and other wealthy countries to cough up more than the $100 billion a year that’s already been pledged to them to mitigate global warming.
More specifically, they’re asking for “additional compensation for weather-related disasters as well as a ‘displacement coordination facility’ for refugees,” says USA Today. “And they want all this to be legally binding as part of the larger anticipated Paris accord (coming in December).”
Of course they do. They know a good racket when then see one. Everyone wants money for nothing and chicks for free... The socialists want to use climate change as a club to punish developed nations for having successful economies. It’s a way to redistribute wealth on an international rather than national basis.
In the late 1980s — almost 30 years ago — a former Canadian environment minister admitted to the Calgary Herald that it doesn’t “matter if the science of global warming is all phony.” What matters is that climate change provides “the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.”
What do you want to bet that Obama is fine with giving away “other people’s money” to this cause while he’s dragging the sack for a billion dollars to build a monument to himself (Presidential Library) in Chicago? Why not give the billion to poor countries suffering from climate change, Barack?
Karl Marx and his philosophy will probably never get assigned to the 'trash heap of history' where it properly belongs. On paper, it just sounds marvelous. In practice, it will never work because of human nature: why work if the goods are laid at your feet? It's only human nature to bend down and pick up the goodies. And it's only human nature to become used to seeing these goodies show up regularly once they are redistributed systematically. And it's only human nature to get surly and angry if anyone or anything disrupts the gravy train.
But now that this philosophy has been around for about 150 years or so, and has been tried many places and has failed each and every time, it sounds so good on paper that it must be that it has failed simply because the right people were not in charge of spreading the goodies out to the proletarian mobs.
Sadly, Karl Marx and his crap will be around probably forever. And will never work, ever.
Sigh.
People love that free cheese, the subsidized rent and the Obamaphones (money for nothing and chicks for free)
This all fits into Obama's grand scheme.
But LL, it's "settled science," like Hillary's natural superiority over every other life-form.
There is no justice. Witness the lack of obamas in jail cells.
I wonder if you simply handed all you had over to the government if that would be enough?
It's settled alright.
No justice – no peace
Global warming or not, I feel the will to not look past the disagreements is a worse threat.
The disagreements are not really over climate. We can look at very old trees (the oldest are the sequoias) and examine the rings. They tell the climate's story. The disagreements are about whether one person or group of people have a claim on what others have worked for, and whether their property should be forced from them.
This isn't about charitable giving. It is about taking.
