LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO CLIMATE CHANGE HELL

 Check your latest "Regionalism" plans.  Check your local "Comprehensive" plans.  Do they say they exist to make you adapt to Climate Change or Global Warming?  Take a look at your corporate mission statement, too.  Has your corporate employer fallen in line with the lies of Sustainable Development?  What about your favorite non-profit?  Or your Church synod?  Better take a look.

The following is written by Juraj Vanovcan as a guest post on Watts Up With That, published today.

"As of today, climate models are the last realm where rise of trace concentration of carbon dioxide, vital gas for biosphere, causes catastrophic warming with all accompanying results. It cannot be forgotten, though, that these very models are a basis for regulations, taxes and restrictions imposed by policy-makers, developed countries destroy their own energy basis in environmental madness and media churn out apocalyptic prophecies on nearing end of the world in medieval style."



"Then, other questions appear: if the models fail so blatantly to simulate the 20th century, how reliable are their projections for the year 2100? Is it possible at all, that these very models are a basis for economical central planning and distribution? How many years to watch the growing difference between the models and reality since 2002, until somebody admits the models are wrong? How long will be that circus paid by taxes of ordinary citizens? When apologize scientists, media and politicians for that three lost decades of pseudoscientific hype called “anthropogenic global warming“? Who will be held responsible for wasted billions, corruption with carbon credits, devastated environment and whole generations dumbed down by environmentalist propaganda? These are legitimate questions, and citizens in developed countries have the right to ask them and expect answers."

Mr. Vanovcan has asked the questions I want asked by every American of our leadership.  Since the science and scientists have been so badly corrupted by government money in order to create this fictional nightmare scenario for the expressed purpose of taxing and regulating the industrial world and the middle class out of existence, who will be ultimately held responsible for the devastation? 

When do we stand up against these lies?  And when do the liars become accountable to the public? After it is too late?  After the culprits have already robbed us blind?  After the fall?  After an epic fail of civilization?

The agenda is clear.  It has nothing to do with climate or warming or environmental protection.  It is entirely about money and control and depopulation.  The United Nations and globalist foundations have created their own monster.  The American government has played along, implemented the fraud as if the American people have no choices whatsoever.  We have not had choices.  We are told what to think and how to act.  We are paying taxes to support lies that hurt us badly.  Sorry to say, the EU has been sucked dry by these same lies.  Now the question becomes: Does America stand up and refuse to buy in any more?

I don't see Americans standing up.  I don't see real opposition.  Just money takers in local councils and commissions.   If you don't go to a Council meeting or a County Commissioner meeting and tell them the truth, you are putting yourself and all of us at risk.  If you don't speak up, who will?  If you are allowing the public school system to indoctrinate your children with climate lies, who will save your children from the coming tyranny?  
 
Hat Tips: 


“From greenhouse gas regulations to water guidance to the tightening of the ozone standard, the Obama-EPA has delayed the implementation of rule after rule because they don’t want all those pink slips and price spikes to hit until after the election. But President Obama’s former climate czar Carol Browner was very clear about what’s in store for next year: she told several green groups not to worry because President Obama has a big green ‘to-do’ list for 2013 so they’ll get what they want.  The radical environmental left may not need to worry but what about hard working Americans who will lose their jobs and be subjected to skyrocketing energy prices thanks to the Obama-EPA?"

I'M KEEPING MY CAR - CAFE STANDARDS

You would think that keeping that old car running would qualify very well for "Sustainability' tax credits or some stars from the "Reuse, Recycle," crowd.  Wouldn't you?  After all, keeping that old car means not ditching more metal into the junk yard where old cars go to die.  I'm not wasting money on trading cars every two or three years for the sake of fashion or new fangled gadgets.  I'm using what I already own.  Sort of like Warren Buffet.  Right? 

My car is 19 years old and only has 93,000 miles on it, leather seats, great visibility, cruise control, and somewhat decent mileage.  It runs great. Looks good.  I didn't bite on that Cash for Clunkers nonsense.  Even so, every now and then I think maybe, just maybe, it's time to dive back into the car market and find something newer.  Should I buy an SUV?  A wagon?  A Prius? A Volvo? An Infinity?  A Beamer?  I'm picky.  I admit it.  Would be nice to have higher gas mileage I guess, but would I save enough money on gas to buy a $35,000 new vehicle?  How many miles would I have to drive to save $35,000?  

And then I read the news on Cafe Standards imposed by the EPA and I ask myself, "Why would I want to get rid of a perfectly good car just to buy a more expensive, more unsafe car?  The point of the EPA is perfectly clear.  They are pricing normal Americans out of the car market and forcing them into mass transit as fast as they can.  It's so obvious even a cave-man could figure it out. The Cafe Standards they impose require lighter weight vehicles that aren't as strong as the average tin can your grocery tuna is packaged.  Of course you can opt for all the GPS gadgets you want, but the car itself is more plastic than steel.  

This from CFACT on the lastest CAFE Standards:  

EPA's new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards mean lighter weight, more expensive cars that will increase deaths and severe injuries in crashes and price nearly 7 million Americans out of the new car market.

 "As they have for 37 years, car companies will follow these new rules by making cars thinner and lighter, and made more from plastic and aluminum than from crash-resistant steel. Smaller, slighter vehicles get better mileage. But that hardly matters when a car smacks into a sycamore or cement wall, tumbles down a slope, or slams head-on into another vehicle."

"According to the Brookings Institution, a 500-lb weight reduction of the average car increased annual highway fatalities by 2,200-3,900 and serious injuries by 11,000 and 19,500 per year. USA Today found that 7,700 deaths occurred for every mile per gallon gained in fuel economy standards. Smaller cars accounted for up to 12,144 deaths in 1997, 37% of all vehicle fatalities for that year."

"How many deaths have resulted? Depending on which study you choose, the total ranges from 41,600 to 124,800. To that figure we can add between 352,000 and 624,000 people suffering serious injuries, including being crippled for life. In the past thirty years, fuel standards have become one of the major causes of death and misery in the United States — and one almost completely attributable to human stupidity and shortsightedness."

Foolishly I ask myself how long our government will continue to be held hostage by idiots and false prophets of do-good-ism.  (I know that isn't a word, but if they can abominate words...why can't I?) 
 
 I'm going to think of my car as a classic, growing in value as it ages with grace.  I may look the fool on the road as I grow old along with my car, but maybe I'll come out ahead in the car follies game.   I'm going to think of it as revenge against the EPA.  At some point I wonder if the EPA will regulate my car off the road.  I hope to heaven not.   A new car is nice, if you can afford something in the upper price range that somehow offers more than the tuna can variety.  But until the sweepstakes calls me the winner, I think I'll just keep my car for now.

Besides...tomorrow we find out if our liberty on healthcare stands or falls.  Either way, I'll need that $35,000 for insurance, or medical care, or the taxes on all of it.  We'll see, eh?  Like everyone else, I am waiting to see what SCOTUS says.
