Climate *change* happens. All the time. Been happening as long as there's been weather.

Humans affect the climate too. Kinda hard to argue that we don't, given our total output of pollutants and the effects of farms, dams, mines, factories, roads, cities and other human activities that we can see with our own eyes.

There's a good argument to be made for careful cost/benefit analysis of anthropogenic climate change with the goal of mitigating its nastier effects. Like, would building taller seawalls or dikes cost more or less than the damage rising sea levels would cause in a given city or area?

Carbon credits, global-warming-as-religion, externally imposed bureaucratic mandates and all the rest of the craziness normally associated with this topic doesn't *help* as far as I can see.

This is a shame, because this is a potentially huge problem, and it's become virtually impossible to discuss in a reasoned, meaningful fashion.

Of course, maybe that's the *goal*. <grin>; January 4, 2010 at 10:53 AM

It's all about control and just one of the tentacles of the NWO octopus.; January 4, 2010 at 12:13 PM
Flavet said...: I believe Al Gore's caring response would be in the best tradition of the London stage: "I've got mine, Jack. S***w you all."; January 4, 2010 at 12:59 PM
aughtsix said...: I have six inches of Glow Bull Worming outside the window as I type!

Gore cares nothing for the truth. The whole AGW thing is a scam on several levels both political and economic- in short, just another way to steal Liberty and property.

Treason, or piracy, and should be dealt with accordingly.

III more than them said...: Ole Al would pick from his list of pre-approved retorts and say, "It's because of Global Warming that we have Local Cooling. You see, it's the warming that alters the jet stream which changes local patterns."

The bass-turd has all kinds of excuses that make him multiple millions of dollars.; January 4, 2010 at 2:02 PM
jon said...: i don't know what everybody's complaining about. it was only 27F this afternoon and hardly any wind at all, down on the heel of cape cod. maybe overnight when it gets windy it starts to actually get cold, like -10F. where's that valley forge spirit, folks? :); January 4, 2010 at 8:42 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
