As the wheels come off Al Gore's bandwagon, people are going to have to come to terms with the fact that they've been fooled. Intellectuals and other authorities were mistaken or, worse, lied for political or philosophical reasons.
Now some of the principle figures in promoting climate change have been caught lying and have even conceded that Al Gore's global warming isn't happening right now. The famous "hockey stick graph" is a lie, an exaggeration for political ends.
Some random thoughts on the subject:
- How many billions of dollars have been lost fixing a problem that didn't exist? What third-world poverty, suffering, and underdevelopment is the by-product of our "green" policies?
- Al Gore's movie, and the hockey stick graph specifically, is blatant propaganda. Will schools apologize for making our students watch that garbage?
- Conservation and preventing pollution are still noble ends, but what arrogance did it take to imagine that human activity controlled the weather? Did we realize what tiny fraction of a percent our activity added to the world's total carbon emissions?
- Didn't anyone care that people like Al Gore, GE (which owns NBC), and others were making money hand over fist? NBC's "green weeks" have been an obnoxious source of indoctrination for a few years now.
- A few cold years doesn't prove anything, but neither did a few warm years. That's the point. The climate changes. It's been much warmer in history and much colder. It's likely to change and there probably nothing we can do about it.
