The country has been experiencing brutal winter storms. The recent ice storm that ravaged the Midwest has left over 600,000 still without power in Kentucky alone (source). Some have been told they may not get power back until mid-February.

So where is global warming when you need it?

Some points to note:

• The earth has been experiencing a cooling trend over the last decade, despite increased CO2 levels. Because of this, many of these GW nuts are calling it Climate Change instead of Global Warming.
• The Copenhagen Consensus, a group of leading economists, scientists, and thinkers, classified Global Warming/Climate Change topics as bad projects in 2004 (#15 Optimal carbon tax, #16 The Kyoto Protocol, #17 Value-at-risk carbon tax) and also in 2008 (#14 R&D in low-carbon energy technologies, #29 R&D and mitigation, #30   Mitigation only).
• The Global Warming movement started a long time ago as a means for a couple scientists to obtain federal funding. Even the originator doubted the role of CO2.
• Take a look at the damn sunspots. It’s the SUN, not one’s SUV.

At first glance one might think that the Chicken-Little GW nuts are just trying to make the planet better, and whether they are right or not, it is a good idea. But their alarmism influences public policy in a manner which is economically damning to everyone, notably the taxpayer.

This is nothing more than manipulating the system via alarmism to scam the average taxpayer out of more money for junk science and to expand the coffers of “green” companies selling Catholic indulgence-like carbon credits and run by people like Al Gore (who did nothing for this cause as VP).
