I totally agree that the alarmists aren't acting concerned. If Al Gore believed a fraction of what he says, he would be living in a small home instead of maintaining at least 3 mansions, each of which uses enough energy to power 30 average households. Then he jets around, rides in limos and shows no signs that he cares at all about the huge carbon footprint he is leaving. The actions taken by the left have nothing to do with climate and everything to do with redistribution of wealth and more government control over resources. Remember, for America to be taken down and turned socialist, they must control food, energy, healthcare and industry.
Every. Single. Thing. Liberals. Do. Is. Designed. To. Take. Over. Those. Things.
Once that happens, we are done. Hillary wasn't shitting about the support for one world government, and it would be a socialist/communist one. Liberty and freedom have no place in a liberal utopia. They are focused on conditioning people to obey government and believe what is told to them. They want robots, not human beings. And they want less human beings because there are too many people to efficiently control right now. Healthcare is designed to weed out the sick, elderly and fragile. Education is designed to ensure that future generations are not patriots who appreciate the constitution and Bill of Rights. The riots and protests across the country are designed to generate hatred for the right, who they have painted as villains.
"Gore’s prediction fits right in with the rest of his comrades in the wild-eyed environmentalist movement. There’s a veritable online cottage industry cataloguing hysterical, failed predictions of environmentalist catastrophe. Over at the American Enterprise Institute, Mark Perry keeps his list of “18 spectacularly wrong apocalyptic predictions” made around the original Earth Day in 1970.
Robert Tracinski at The Federalist has a nice list of “Seven big failed environmentalist predictions.” The Daily Caller’s “25 years of predicting the global warming ‘tipping point’” makes for amusing reading, including one declaration that we had mere “hours to act” to “avert a slow-motion tsunami.” But for sheer vivid lunacy, nothing matches this Good Morning America report from 2008:
The images show Manhattan shrinking against the onslaught of the rising seas — in 2015. Last year. Gasoline was supposed to be $9 per gallon. Milk would cost almost $13 per gallon. Wildfires would rage, hurricanes would strike with ever-greater intensity. By the end of the clip I was expecting to see the esteemed doctors Peter Venkman, Egon Spengler, and Ray Stantz step forward to predict, “Rivers and Seas boiling!” “Forty years of darkness!” And of course the ultimate disasters: “Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together . . . Mass hysteria!”
Can we ignore them yet? Apparently not. Being a climate hysteric means never having to say you’re sorry. Simply change the cataclysm — Overpopulation! No, global cooling! No, global warming! No, climate change! — push the apocalypse back just a few more years, and you’re in business, big business.
In reality, I respect the wild-eyed rapture-pastors far more than the climate hysterics. They merely ask me to believe, they don’t use the power of government to dictate how I live. Pastors aren’t circumventing the democratic process to impose dangerous and job-killing environmental regulations. Draconian fuel-economy standards have actually cost American lives. And now the coal industry is reeling in part because of stringent EPA standards. Overall, the EPA’s climate-change regulations are set to impose enormous economic costs. .
Even worse, the hysterics are hypocrites. It’s austerity for thee but not for me as they jet around the globe to speak to adoring audiences about the need for sacrifice. As Good Morning America broadcast its shrieking warning about Manhattan’s imminent doom, how many environmentalist liberals were selling their Park Avenue apartments and moving to higher ground? They’re like a drunk preacher screaming about the evils of demon rum. They refuse to walk their talk. As Instapundit’s Glenn Reynolds often says, we should believe there’s a crisis when the alarmists start acting like there’s a crisis. RELATED: Obama’s Special Brand of Climate Doomsaying.
There are indeed scientists laboring away in good faith to understand more about our climate, and I applaud their work. But climate activists all too often are the close cousins of politically correct campus race hucksters — they cloak their raw will to power in the self-righteous cloak of the great and glorious cause. We’ve taken them seriously for far too long. Now, it’s time to laugh."
