The EPA has just declared carbon dioxide a “major hazard to Americans’ health” paving the way for legislators to further penalize and/or prohibit its production. I can hardly believe it’s happening in a free society—humanity is truly in trouble. We now have a government agency declaring the very air that we exhale is hazardous to our own health.

Ideology matters. Hitler believed that Jews were hazardous—in the beginning, he passed laws to censure their activities. Today, environmentalists have humanity in their cross-hairs. All that humans do to thrive, and now even living itself is deemed officially harmful.

I must remind the reader that this is all based on Gore’s “consensus of scientists” (a consensus of government workers seeking more funding) and ignorant hoards ready and willing to (a) forget that the climate has always changed, (b) accept his story on faith, and (c) vote for their own destruction.

The biggest threat to humanity is the environmentalist movement itself.

You can read more about it here: http://www.heartland.org/events/NewYork09/newyork09.html

The only difference today is that environmentalists want you to believe that any changes in climate are due to nefarious human activity. The term “climate change” is quickly becoming synonymous with “we need green socialist dictators to put humans in their place.”

Please use your reason. The free world depends on it.

To add insult to injury, this satellite has crashed in to the ocean, so the value produced by this program is now exactly $0. However, there will likely be a second attempt in which even more of your (forced) tax money is used to further Al Gore’s conspiracy theories.

Ideas matter. Your government is robbing you, and then spending billions of dollars, and imposing laws to severely restrict the productive potential of humanity based on criminally flawed reasons. Please spend at least 10 minutes today reading about the ongoing debate between Al Gore and his “consensus” and the other consensus of climate scientists who do not support his fantastic claims.

You don’t need to be a scientist to employ reason. Most people simply believe Al Gore’s hysteria, and that’s good enough for them.

It’s not difficult to see how this “ideal” works in practice: mass human suffering and death. Since humans are increasingly not allowed to convert natural elements in to useful products, living as a human is becoming more difficult. (These natural elements are NOT scarce by any measurement.)

Although the media conspicuously avoids this point, years of environmentalist-inspired restrictions have reduced the supply of wealth-creating fuel. In 1995, Klinton vetoed attempts to open any of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil production. For decades, environmental laws have also kept the California coast off limits to any new oil drilling.

Creating vital goods and services costs more because the fuel that runs the wealth-creating machines is being choked off by environmentalist propaganda. Getting to and from the workplace is eating up more wealth. The rising cost of obtaining food has caused a “food crisis.” As the machines of wealth production increasingly slow down, will Al Gore, Greenpeace and their ilk apologize to the starving humans? Will they force more wealth away from the free world while at the same time making that wealth increasingly difficult to create?

You are now officially being affected by bad environmentalist ideas. It’s time to stop supporting them and start speaking up for reason and human prosperity.

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.

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 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.

Check it out here: The Real Meaning of Earth Hour.

It’s likely that the environmentalists’ public relations departments do not recommend that their published organizational goals include the elimination of humanity, but consider today’s issues that their current manpower gives them time to pursue.

Whether it is global warming, climate change, endangered species, nature preserves, etc., it’s always some variant of attacking human activity as such. No human (or living organism) can exist without “exploiting” the earth or creating waste material, so the final solution to the environmentalist contradictions is to eliminate all the humans. An environmentalist web site spells this out quite clearly (even though the site’s creators are, of course, hypocrites for still breathing).

Short of achieving the final solution of eradicating humanity, environmentalists continue to successfully inject this poison in to the culture under the guise of helping future generations. They continue to use unscientific scare tactics: e.g., depicting an imaginary apocalyptic future world. We suffer an increasing array of laws and restrictions aimed at making human life and prosperity more and more difficult. To the extent that people continue to accept the environmentalists’ doctrine unchecked, future generations will only inherit the slavery and squalor of totalitarian socialism.

It’s important for humans to identify the poison of environmentalism and label environmentalists as the hypocritical monsters they are. We owe this to our children.

Possibly, this reporter believes that anthropogenic global warming (AGW) is a fact beyond question. It would be important to ask her why she believes this to understand how this hysteria is spreading throughout the pop culture. Another possibility is that she wants her readers to believe that AGW is a fact beyond question.

Reality doesn’t care what people believe, it keeps on behaving according to its identity or nature. What does matter is a how human belief affects everyone’s political freedoms and individual rights. When the Christians were acting in accordance with the “fact” of their god’s wishes during the dark ages, there was tyranny and misery with little advancement in technology. Witches were burned at the stake for mystically hurting others. Today, those clamoring for power or envious of the unprecedented success and wealth of the free market seek to force people to submit to the “fact” of AGW.

There is little appeal to science and reason, and those politicians who choose to cite scientific studies (e.g., Al Gore) pick and choose those papers that support their agenda while shamelessly ignoring papers that blatantly contradict the entire premise of AGW. They are not interested in knowing reality, but rather the conquest of humanity. After all, environmentalists operate on the premise that humans are innately evil because of their ability to create more wealth than primates. Interestingly, this is not too different from the Christian belief in original sin. 
 
Unfortunately these days, humans have increasingly fewer supporters. The political culture will progressively reflect this trend.

However, these concerts will likely prove successful because, in part, (a) young people are taught by teacher’s unions that reason is not necessary to live, (b) those wishing to behave morally for the first time will latch on to this, or any, self-sacrificial hysteria, (c) young people are highly impressionable by music (when I was a child, I though that Iron Maiden was a way of life).

Even though the climate has always been changing, and there are countless studies that refute claims that humans are affecting the climate, politicians continue to trumpet a new socialist/fascist/communist/totalitarian world in which government power structures control the lives of all in the name of all that is not human.

It’s not difficult to understand why politicians seeking more power love environmentalism.

It’s important to understand how political and unscientific much of the international effort to address climate change is. These groups seek to convince people to allow further layers of government determine what they can and cannot do. These new government entities will certainly have the ability to bend the new restrictions for party members and friends.

To help reveal the agendas in the recent anthropogenic global warming hysteria, I’ve created a small Flash movie to illustrate the political motives of these seemingly objective groups. Feel free to distribute it far and wide, but please keep the credits intact.

This may sound like an extreme accusation, but one simply needs to listen to their rhetoric and identify the premises of their arguments. Protracting their arguments in to the future reveals a utopia in which humans are simply wiped from existence (except perhaps a few environmentalists living in caves).

This perverted rewriting of reality has recently gain political traction mainly due to the aging of indoctrinated public school students, and environmentalism’s compatibility with Marxist and Kantian ideals of self-sacrifice. Modern political demagogues (e.g., hypocrite Gore and countless other Marxists) know that the ecco-conditioned public is ripe to be led to a more Fascist existence with their party being the voice of the “people” and of “threatened nature.”
 
If humanity is to keep from plunging in to another dark age with the environmental church replacing the god-du-jour church as the source of earthly punishment, we must immediately reassert the right of humans, INDIVIDUAL humans to exist and to act in their full capacities as rational beings—not to be arbitrarily scorned and jailed for living larger than sheep.

Paying lip service to environmentalism or staying silent in the face of such absurd claims about the proper role of all individuals allows humanity to slip further to this nightmarish statist future.

Given the incredible face-value claim and package solution to this “problem,” I’m always amazed at how many people choose to believe it. Given that the entire array of facts and contradictions DO NOT support the overall conclusion that human exhaust is causing a rise in global temperatures and that the net effect of this would be catastrophic, why do so many people accept the whole package: socialism and all?

I’m beginning to see that the debate more about the lack of the rational mind and failing education/philosophy than about temperatures and gas emissions. Asking people why they believe it will be more revealing and relevant to humanity’s future than the junk science.

As the global warming (GW) bureaucracy marches toward installing world socialism and tearing down the wealth creating factories, this documentary will show how this GW machine works, that the movement is political and not so interested in reality, and the endless manipulations that are being put on the public every day.

It will at least prod some people to WAKE UP and start questioning the unquestioned, thus realizing that human-caused global warming is actually a rather bizarre claim when presented with all of the data.

If you love science, technology, and modern quality of life in the developed world, you should start paying attention because this GW movement is one manufactured/fertilized environmentalist tactic in the war against humanity.

Plus Ça (Climate) Change
The Earth was warming before global warming was cool.

BY PETE DU PONT
Wednesday, February 21, 2007 12:01 a.m. EST When Eric the Red led the Norwegian Vikings to Greenland in the late 900s, it was an ice-free farm country–grass for sheep and cattle, open water for fishing, a livable climate–so good a colony that by 1100 there were 3,000 people living there. Then came the Ice Age. By 1400, average temperatures had declined by 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit, the glaciers had crushed southward across the farmlands and harbors, and the Vikings did not survive. Such global temperature fluctuations are not surprising, for looking back in history we see a regular pattern of warming and cooling. From 200 B.C. to A.D. 600 saw the Roman Warming period; from 600 to 900, the cold period of the Dark Ages; from 900 to 1300 was the Medieval warming period; and 1300 to 1850, the Little Ice Age.During the 20th century the earth did indeed warm–by 1 degree Fahrenheit. But a look at the data shows that within the century temperatures varied with time: from 1900 to 1910 the world cooled; from 1910 to 1940 it warmed; from 1940 to the late 1970s it cooled again, and since then it has been warming. Today our climate is 1/20th of a degree Fahrenheit warmer than it was in 2001.

According to the Drudge Report, he has made some biting yet insightful observations of the AGW hysteria. I’ll copy the interview transcript below in case the Drudge Report link gets moved.

President of Czech Republic Calls Man-Made Global Warming a ‘Myth’ – Questions Gore’s Sanity
Mon Feb 12 2007 09:10:09 ETCzech president Vaclav Klaus has criticized the UN panel on global warming, claiming that it was a political authority without any scientific basis.In an interview with “Hospodárské noviny”, a Czech economics daily, Klaus answered a few questions:Q: IPCC has released its report and you say that the global warming is a false myth. How did you get this idea, Mr President?

He even has the gall to compare his prize with the 1675 longitude measurement contest that was eventually won by John Harrison. That prize was for something useful; Branson’s prize simply helps promote some passive-minded anti-human religion.

Do environmentalists really want a “solution” to global warming? They must realize that if a “solution” is achieved, they lose their back-door path to installing world socialism (the ulterior motive). But of course, anthropogenic global warming is not their only claim to hate humanity: they also have anthropogenic mass extinctions, toxic waste, habitat encroachment, population increases, and anything and everything else that humans ever do.

Also, wouldn’t rational people be opposed to such a machine? Who made Al Gore an expert in the “proper” level of carbon dioxide? He certainly doesn’t want you to know that CO2 was more abundant in the atmosphere during previous ice ages. 

The temperatures in Chicago this past week were never above 10F. Wouldn’t those residents have something to say about manipulating the atmosphere to make their frozen winters even colder? Perhaps this machine would incite a new civil war between the “ice age now” southern factions versus the “keep it warming” northern states?

What about all of the human deaths attributed to cold weather? What about the increase in vegetation that carbon dioxide should bring? That would help increase the food supply.

The only thing good to say about this prize is that it’s privately funded. I.e., all money is the result of voluntary free trade (except the tax breaks), and not the result of some overzealous socialist politicians seeking to cripple individuals by stealing their earned wealth to fund their religious environmental causes.

However, at the very least, if you care about rationality in the world, you would not contribute to Virgin Atlantic’s madness.
