Global Warming: A Con That Benefits The Few

Oh yes, and to complete the picture global terrorism no longer works as a scare, wars seem to backfire on you and attempts to create a new killer disease don’t really work out as you’ve hoped.

So what do you do to distract everyone from your incompetence and uselessness? Well, you pick a cause that has a global danger ring to it, create a stampede, jump on the bandwagon and get everyone talking about it, as if it’s the most important problem that needs to be resolved.

Enter global warming, or climate change, as the connoisseurs of fighting non-existent global threats like to call it – a great new challenge for the brave new world, run by buffoons and dominated by loudmouthed campaigners, greedy bankers and all types of slimy wheeler-dealers out to make a quick buck.

Global warming is all the rage now. Well, was all the rage untill this winter turned out to be the coldest ever. Still, it didn’t cool down the fanatics. There they go, insisting that global warming is still a danger. If you’re not into it, you’re out baby, you’re not with the flow, you’re out of touch, you don’t feel the f..king mood of the masses, these nutters keep saying. And then they accuse their opponents, who are in great majority, of all the sins in the world. You’re scum, lowlifes, they say, you probably eat babies for breakfast and hate everything that moves and breathes.

Every government is supposed to be into global warming now, promising to do things. Apart from the cunning Chinese. Don’t you just love the way they have taken the piss at that stupid Copenhagen climate conference. They told all those environmentalist to go to hell, and subotaged the gathering. The first good thing they’ve done in many years.

US President Barack Obama, a fervent supporter of global warming, has been keeping quiet about his dream of a world free of carbon emissions recently. Just like he is keeping quiet about a world free of nuclear weapons that have helped mankind to avoid WW3 for the past 60 odd years. He is now bracing himself to bask in the glory of his health reforms that promise to make American insurance companies even richer. So he’ll be busy for a while.

So what we have here, ladies and gents of the freaking climate change collective, is that the two biggest polluters in the world are showing two fingers to everyone, while the rest are playing games with their carbon targets that mean nothing.

And here’s more food for thought: Russian scientists have recently revealed the results of their research in the Arctic where they drilled deep into the ice and studied the layers to see how the climate developed in the past. And guess what they have uncovered: that in the past 100,000 years the climate was regularly cooling or getting warmer. Even though there were no factories polluting the world or cars driving all over the place.

The fact of the matter is that global warming, as it is packaged now, is all just a big con that benefits the few. Sorry to be blunt about it, but around 25 years ago the whole climate change debate was moving in the opposite direction, with the emphasis made on the temperatures around the world falling. In those days the climate fanatics were shouting about all of us getting frozen in the mountains of ice that would crawl from the north. The message then was: if you’re not into global freeze, you’re out of touch, baby. And then, all of a sudden, the mood had changed, along with the climate patterns. From then on it was about global warming.

How can it be that so many people were saying one thing twenty odd years ago and are now saying exactly the opposite, with the same gusto? And are they going to be saying the opposite once again, say, in twenty years’ time? Sounds distinctly false to me. Very Tony Blairish I would say.

But the biggest letdown for the global warming lobby has to be Al Gore, the Nobel Peace Prize winner. (Gore’s No-Bell Peace Prize is as puzzling as Obama’s, to be honest.) First of all, Gore’s film on climate has been slaughtered by scientists. Torn to shreds would be an even better description. And secondly, and most embarrassingly, Gore turned out to be a big investor into companies involved in clean technologies that get government funding. Which makes his passionate crusade against global warming seem a bit, well, biased. And somehow explains why so many politicians are jumping on the climate change band wagon as well.

But how come so many people, including some scientists, believe in global warming, I hear some of you asking. And here is what I’ll say to that: a lot of people, including scientists, believe in Darwin’s evolution myth as well. But that does not make us all look and behave like monkeys, now does it?
