Recall the teachings of the Pontiff of Global Warming Propaganda, Al Gore, for which he received acclamations, millions upon millions of dollars, and even an Academy Award. His documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth,” spelled out, in no uncertain terms, the apocalyptic doom that awaits Planet Earth and its denizens unless we all reduce our collective carbon foot print.
While Gore is definitely the most “prophetable” of the doomsayers, he is certainly not the first. In fact, Gore’s propaganda is nothing more than a re-tooling of the same alarmist nonsense that the communist wackos in academia were regurgitating to the world thirty years ago.
From 1968 to 1985 Paul Erlich predicted that:
• Without forced population control “hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death.” (The Population Bomb, 1968)
• That “England will not exist in the year 2000.” (Ibid)
• “In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish.” (1969)
• Because of “overpopulation” there will be a scarcity of food causing the death rate to “increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next 10 years.” (1970 interview in Mademoiselle Magazine).
• “By 1985 enough millions will have died to reduce the earth’s population to some acceptable level, like 1.5 billion.” (1969)
• “By 1980 the United States would see its life expectancy drop to 42 because of pesticides, and by 1999 its population would drop to 22.6 million.” (1969)
Of course within a few years it was obvious that Erlich’s predictions weren’t going to come true… ever. No one with any common sense was going to alter his or her lifestyle to accommodate Erlich and his communist friends, so the liberal elitist communists tried a different approach. In 1972 people and groups like the Club of Rome began predicting the coming new ice age. It seems there was so much carbon going into the atmosphere it was blocking out the sun’s warming rays, and soon habitable farm regions would be frozen over and become unable to produce food and other resources. (Erlich was quick to jump on the bandwagon). The world was warned that it was about to run out of food, oil, gas, lead, zinc, copper, tin, and uranium.
The leftist Carter administration issued a global forecast predicting that “the world in 2000 will be more crowded, more polluted, less stable ecologically … and the world’s people will be poorer in many ways than they are today.” Once again it didn’t take long for most people to realize that the once “settled” science of global cooling was nothing more than bovine excrement.
By the 1990s and the ascendancy of another Democrat president the” Prophecy” was altered again, but this time the end as we know it would be ushered in by man-made “global warming.” A supposed hole was found in the ozone layer over portions of the southern hemisphere. Global Warming Enthusiasts went wild with more dire predictions. Governments used the man-made threat to raise taxes and alter industry. Some businesses were unable to absorb the cost of these “necessary” changes and are no longer with us today. As temperatures warmed in the mid to late 90’s the liberals clamored for more “change,” more government intrusion.
Today, thanks to some Russian hackers, we now know the REAL inconvenient truth: that the socialist-minded purveyors of global warming have been purposefully manipulating data to “trick” people into believing in “climate change.” They even went so far as to destroy the original temperature data from the last 40 years; they only have the temperature data that they altered by recording temperatures that were cooler than they actually were 30 to 40 years ago, and temperatures that were warmer than they actually were up to 10 years ago, simply to make it look as if the world was genuinely heating up. The truth is that their record keeping has been a sham all along. Their new scientific method (taught now to all school children it seems) is akin to telling us that “the science is settled: 2 + 2 = 5!”
What you need to know is that this “Climate Change” propaganda is being shoved down your throat for a very simple reason: wealth redistribution. The rest of the mostly-socialist world is poor precisely because they are socialist, or some form of Marxist. The same communists who were peddling the B.S. thirty years ago are still the ones peddling it today for the sole purpose of taking your money from you, under the guise of helping others around the world. Al Gore is now a billionaire due to his climate change peddling. Too many turds; frozen turds; boiling turds. Sure, there are some new faces in the crowd, namely the Obama administration, but the propaganda is still the same crap.
I think we need to give our current government a good flushing come 2010 and 2012.
