So right they are. In California, the political entity Flex Your Power blankets the air waves with propaganda about how all humans are evil in so far as they live, breath and employ some kind of labor-saving device that uses energy (cars, heaters, radios, lights, etc.). This commercial (featuring the phrase “Global Warming Is a Choice”) is paid for by Flex Your Power, which gets its money from the state-controlled public utility monopolies, which gets its money from all Californians who use energy. Hundreds of thousands of people didn’t endorse these ads, but we’re financing them.

These ads attempt to scare the current population with imaginary visions of a future apocalyptic world in which Al Gore’s climate conspiracy theories exist and future humans are indignant at present-day humans for not choosing some form of green dictatorship or socialism.

This scare tactic has been effectively employed through the ages: Hitler warned that the Jews needed to be erased. Preachers of religion warn that your soul will burn in endless fire if you don’t believe in some varying version of an undetectable god.

While some warnings do have merit, the global warming (a.k.a. climate change) political warnings do not. In spite of the overwhelming media attention to every shred of evidence of a warming climate, the real science behind the claims is still wrought with endless conflicting evidence.

Most politicians and all other totalitarians (who are not scientists) preach global warming with great certainty. To the extent that they succeed, real-world humans will suffer the real effects of increasing restrictions on productivity. These restrictions (like all environmentalism) work toward their ideal of erasing humans from existence (i.e., to attempt to eliminate the human footprint or any impact that humans have on anything else).

Capitalism Magazine has a good online article summarizing the current list of blatant contradictions in the anthropogenic climate change myth. It’s a must read for anyone temped to support the climate change hysteria.

This has been in my camera for a little while and I thought it so revealing when I saw it again that I had to post it for all to witness.

In Sunday’s Los Angeles Times (3/30/2008), the front page of the Business section (!) was a featured essay about how guilty we should all feel about our hopeless addiction to oil (in every way that improves the quality of human life). Particularly ominous was the large image of a woman with her hand covering her bowed head in shame.

This is the human condition that the environmentalists are seeking to achieve:

The self-hating human.

The people of Indonesia’s government have chosen to not allow Indonesian people to watch the online movie “Fitna” which shows how international Muslim terrorists and killers use the Koran to inspire their murders.

The Associated Press published a story about how these people have blocked access to YouTube and MySpace for all Indonesians because the film “could disturb relations between the faiths.” Such kid-gloves are only necessary for present-day Islam because of it’s leaders’ constant incitement of holy-wars against the west and promises of murder for those who speak poorly of their faith-based god.

Instead of significant groups of “peaceful” Muslims denouncing such acts of violence in the name of Islam, they continue to voice anger over such movies, and thus effectively continue to defend those who use the Koran to murder others. With equal if not greater culpability, non Muslims and western leaders continue to preach forgiveness and surrender to irrational Islamic demands to force others to obey Allah (as interpreted by Imam thugs).

While the broader problem has to do with the concept of faith as such, Fitna shows the nature and goals of the growing radical Islamic movement. If those government individuals in Indonesia want a future of peace and freedom, they should be watching and learning, not censoring out of fear and/or support.

The folks over at the Ayn Rand Institute (ARI) published a insightful analysis of the recent earth hour in which all humans were asked to turn off lights (at night) for an hour as a symbolic demonstration of their hatred of human activity.

The ARI article identifies the actual meaning of Earth Hour (the premises that go in to its purpose), and asks whether most people could or would support an “Earth Month” in which all electricity is extinguished for 30 days.

Food would spoil and food production would all but halt, criminals would achieve stealth, tap water would not be treated, hospitals would completely close at dusk, etc. In short, the horrific occurrence would perhaps allow people to renew their appreciation for modern technology and the existence of fuels to power it.

This idea of extending Earth Hour to Earth Month further exposes the blatant hypocrisy and contradictions of those giving lip service to Earth Hour, and the nightmarish “utopia” envisioned by the environmentalist movement at large.
