I will never forget that one of the students, who I later found out had a serious drug problem stated something to the effect that "why should we go to the Moon and ruin it like we have ruined the Earth?". The Moon is a lifeless ball of rock. How can mankind ruin a "dead" plane?. This just proves what I have come to realize that many"progressives" seem to be unhappy people and they resent those of the human race who aren't unhappy like them so they would be just as pleased if we would all disappear, as indeed European "progressives" are putting into effect by not having children. This is why they ally themselves to destructive forces like Communism or Radical Islam. For that matter, many volunteers for the Waffen SS in World War II had anti-Capitalist and what would be considered today "progressive" views on many issues. Albert Speer discussed this in his memoirs. French intellectuals created something called "National Bolshevism" which was a pro-Nazi movement after the defeat of 1940 but it only lasted up until the Hitler decided to go to war with the beloved "progressive" Stalin. So we see there is nothing new here with the self-prorclaimed "lovers of humanity" that hate people.Y.

You honestly don't think the Climate Change crowd ramped up the rhetoric during hurricane seasons past, or during hot temps? That's all weather. Hurricanes as much as blizzards. Everything imaginable is blamed on Climate Chage, and the core assumption is that climate does not change. We're told to believe all this evidence that the Earth is this dynamic ecosystem, but somehow can't deal with too much CO2. <br /><br />The Earth absorbs particulates. Looks at what happens after a volcanic eruption: temporary changes (weather), but long term climate impact is negligible. One serious volcanic eruption negates all the doomsday scenarios, because everything turns out okay.<br /><br />Being conservative (which is a political bearing, not a religion) is about (a) distrusting fads and sudden swings in popular tastes; (b) affirming human nature and man's capacity for both wisdom and self-delusion; (c) acknowledging the existence of evil, and man's attraction to manifest power and act selfishly; and (d) recognizing the fantasy of an all-powerful, all-knowing government serving the good of the people as a impartial agent for the bubbling abundance of human altruism. <br /><br />What cannot be denied in the Climate Change debate is that the Warmunists view government bodies as the stewards and chieftains of Earth's great climate challenges. They have identified and prescribed confiscatory remedies, promulgated by those scientists who would explain the complexities of climate in a model that was impossible to generate years ago, and can't accurately predict what's happening tomorrow. Does this seem at all silly? It is. What will they do with all their carbon tax revenue? Go to some altar and sell it back? No, no, no... they'll spend it, funding all their friends' fraudulent green initiatives. Oops, that's already happened, hasn't it?<br /><br />Who are you going to believe? Hell, we're all supposed to be burning up here in 2015. The "time is fast running out" warnings have come and come for years. In the 1970s, global cooling meant death. Detect a pattern? Yep, no one has any idea what they're talking about. Hypnosis comes in the form of "Studies say..." Catalonia comes in the form of "Science says..."<br /><br />The whole "weather isn't climate" mantra is rubbish spoken by people who desperately WANT to beliveve human beings ae destroying the Earth. Not because human beings are the collective source of dealing with such problems, but that there must be fewer (much fewer) of other stupid (read: conservative) people who are the problem. Have a PhD? You won't be voted off the island. It's like "Logan's Run" for scientists and bureaucrats. Who must be sacrificed? It's always someone else's children. <br /><br />The problem is not the problem. The problem is the audacity, preposterousness and self-serving nature of the climatologist's remedies. It all ends up with more government, imposing more scarcity, based in a solution that will never work, because we cannot control the climate. And then civil service laws prevent the dismantling of the apparatus, so "We might as well get something for all the money we're spending." Think I'm off base?

This in result has caused the quickest rise of surface warming ever observed. Also the polar ice caps have shrunk within the last 15 years to unseen before levels, <br /><br />http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/thick-melt.html<br /><br />The hottest year is confirmed by a body of world's climatologists (not political hacks without science degrees)<br /><br />ITs embarrasing to have to state this, its like arguing with Creationists that Evolution is a fact of biology and life. Im a conservatve, I dont agree that 'carbon tax' is a way to limit the damage we are doing to our planet. But its no use to anyone to pretend that human acttivity of a rapidly rising global population is not causing any change to planetary weather systems when we are dumping 40 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere while Brasil is busy destroying the Amazon basin with logging and clear cutting, shutting down the natural ability of the planet to offset the added CO2.

And we are all to sacrifice by taxing ourselves into oblivion, not by choice (legislative action that favors conservation), but by government diktat based on an ideological narrative (environmentalism). Will any of these actions work, or is it that maybe (just maybe) human beings are not this evil, all-powerful force of nature. Perhaps nature has its own agenda.
