On November 24, the Washington Times ran an editorial with the headline: Hiding evidence of global cooling / junk science exposed among climate change believers. What we’ve all got to realize is that “green” is the new “red”. The global warming folks are nothing but a band of power hungry “statists” taking advantage of the American inclination towards personal responsibility as a means to erode American liberty and increase the size of government and the scope of its power.
If they came straight to us and asked us if we’d like to give up our liberty in favor of more power for an oppressive, controlling, patriarchal government, we’d tell them to go straight to Hell. But if they come to us lying about a global “crisis” caused by our carbon footprint and wasteful lifestyles, and suggest that we give up some of our liberty and potential for opportunity to solve the problem, many well meaning but weak minded people will go along like sheep to the slaughter of their freedom.
The “global warming” or “climate change” crisis has nothing to do with legitimate science. It is, rather, a political strategy aimed at getting us to believe that we’re all individually and collectively responsible for hurting the environment and therefore we all need to sacrifice liberty and free choices over how we live our lives. After all, those of us responsible for causing the problem should be willing to take responsibility for our part to solve the problem. “Save the planet” is like a call to arms, playing on the same American spirit that has solved and overcome problems in this country for the last two and a half centuries. The problem with the “global warming” lie is that in the 21st Century, our stewardship of the environment is the best it has ever been probably since the Iron Age. All the hype over “global warming”, “climate change”, “the environment”, and “going green” is nothing but a concerted ruse devised to turn us from a free nation into a nation of slaves to tyranny.
Unfortunately, neither our “free press” nor our elected representatives in Congress have the spine or the intellectual capacity to critically examine, let along stand up to, any of this fraudulent propaganda. Thankfully, there is one undeniable trait that essentially defines the American spirit. When institutions like government and the “fourth estate” of the so-called free press sink to pathetic levels like they have in this day, the spirit of “responsibility” in the people is stirred, awakened, and disturbed to the point of grass roots action. And as always when that happens, the people will lead…and pathetically, but predictably, the “leaders” will follow.
