Are We Still Talkin' About This?

I can't believe that we are still following a course of action based upon claims of some scientists that may not even be true. Since the election last year it seemed to me that some of the supposed global warming science was not as prevalent in the media as it had been through the George W years. I thought, this is a good thing... there is no conclusive scientific evidence behind all this and it will just quietly fade away and we can move on to another supposed crisis. I guess I was wrong. Just this past week I have been hearing more about the insanity that passes for our actions to 'save the planet' from a man-made mess.

Don't get me wrong, I believe that we should do all we can to be wise and develop alternative sources of energy while seeking ways to reduce the amount of harmful waste we produce. What puzzles me is how so much of what is touted as a good alternative energy source is either unwise or not feasible. Burning up crops to replace petroleum products... that's just brilliant! Especially when it takes more energy to produce fuel from corn than is yielded when it is used. Or how about wind power. How many of the people that try to push this government subsidized alternative on us refuse to have any of the giant windmills anywhere near where they live? (If it is such a good alternative, how come it needs to be subsidized?) It is almost beyond my comprehension that some people actually believe that some of these insane actions will actually make any difference in our climate. I have heard (and I cannot recall the source) that some politicians want to outlaw the incandescent light bulb in favor of those little fluorescent bulbs that are hard on your eyes and are hazardous to dispose of. Now that's a bright idea!

What I see most of all with all the environmental hype is hypocrisy and deceit. Why is it that all the big name politicians in support of all this 'green' technology use more energy than any of us. The high priest of environmental ecstacy, the inventor of the internet, Mr. Al Gore is making literally millions on this false doctrine while leaving a huge carbon footprint with his excessive lifestyle. Supposedly he 'off-sets' his carbon footprint by buying carbon credits from developing nations. What a scam that is. Who really thinks that if I give my money away to others (so they can build a huge military machine, as with Red China) for imaginary feel good credits that I have helped to save the poor, failing climate of the earth? Sounds to me like a brilliant idea for the Chinese and Indians to suck money out of the capitalist system of America while making us feel good about it!

With all the scientist that have come out lately refuting the junk science behind global warming can we please move on to another imaginary crisis? If you are going to take all our money away from us and socialize everything (including our home thermostats), can you not find a more creative way to do it?
