| We need to save the planet from global warmi– wait, what? |
| 2010-09-28 |
| James Delingpole at The Daily Telegraph reports on this summer’s Bilderberg meeting, where the secret rulers of the universe meet every year to decide how to destroy Alex Jones. Delingpole has noticed an unusual item on the Bilderberg agenda: The 58th Bilderberg Meeting will be held in Sitges, Spain 3 – 6 June 2010. The Conference will deal mainly with Financial Reform, Security, Cyber Technology, Energy, Pakistan, Afghanistan, World Food Problem, Global Cooling, Social Networking, Medical Science, EU-US relations. Global cooling. It’s kind of like global warming, except the exact opposite. I don’t know about you, but every once in a while I hear about how I shouldn’t drive a car, or use proper light bulbs, or basically live the life of a 21st Century American because it’s melting the icebergs and making Al Gore cry. Why are these guys worried about global cooling? Could it have something to do with the way “global warming” became “climate change” became “global climate disruption”? Will they now try to shift from “the polar bears need life jackets” to “the polar bears need comfy sweaters” and hope nobody notices? Delingpole says: The next few years are going to be very interesting. Watch the global power elite squirming to reposition itself as it slowly distances itself from Anthropogenic Global Warming (”Who? Us? No. We never thought of it as more than a quaint theory…”), and tries to find new ways of justifying green taxation and control. (Ocean acidification; biodiversity; et al). That’s what it’s all about: using science, or something that resembles science, to control how you live your life. What’ll happen when everybody stops panicking about yesterday’s doomsday and they try to get us all worked up about tomorrow’s? P.S. Mark Hemingway: Big Green regulations suffocate jobs, economic growth. |

| #7 Oh, yeah, I remember, Tom. Particularly memorable is the Time magazine cover story about "The Coming Ice Age." That's one (of many) reason I don't take the Warmenists seriously - they don't seem to understand (or more likely are unwilling to admit, because then there's no money and power in it for them) that the climate cycles. Not a damn one of them seems to know about the Medieval Warm Period or the Little Ice Age. Educated ignoramuses, the lot of 'em. :-( |

| #6 WAFF > [Poster Analysis] I WILL PROVE WID A CALCULATION THAT GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT CAUSED BY [Man's]BURNING OF FOSSIL FUELS. WAFF POSTER attempts to mathematically show other WAFF'ers that any simul burning of all of the World's known fossil fuel reserves + consequent release of gases into the atmosphere will NOT significantly increase CO2, etc. to dangerous levels??? |

| #5 Actually, we were afraid of global cooling in the 1970s. Anyone else remember "the new ice age," "nuclear winter," "shortening growing seasons," etc.? |

| #4 IMO it still comes down to there is NO SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS on the Sun's behavior, nor on its role, etc. as per effects on Local, Global Environment. In any case, NATURAL OR MAN-MADE, GW IS NOT A GOOD REASON ENOUGH TO IMPOSE NATIONAL, GLOBAL SOCIALIST-GOVTIST ORDER + OWG + POLICE-WELFARE STATE, ETC, WIDOUT A POPULAR VOTE. LEST WE FERGIT, THE US-WORLD LEFTS HAVE HISTORICALLY ALWAYS PROMOTED THEMSELVES AS THE "TRUE DEFENDERS/PROTECTORS" OF THE POPULAR VOTE + "WILL OF THE PEOPLE", as compared to the Right or Center-Right. |

| #2 It's not science, it's Settled Science(TM)! |

| #1 using science, or something that resembles science Ummmm, no. This crap resembles science kinda like the way my old Mazda resembles a Ferrari. |
