It’s Not Just That Global Warming Is Fake. What Matters Is Why This Fakery Is Being Promoted.

Global warming is based 100% on junk science. The most vocal promoters are not interested in the details of physical science. They are interested in two things: political control over the general public and the establishment of international socialism.
Junk Science vs. Real Science
For a detailed, footnoted, 12-page article, written by three scientists, two with Ph.D’s from CalTech, click here.
This paper was sent to tens of thousands of natural scientists in the United States.
Over 31,000 scientists have put their reputations on the line and signed a politically incorrect petition opposing the 1997 Kyoto agreement or protocol. Here is a photocopy of a signed petition.

Here is a letter from a former president of the National Academy of Sciences. He asks recipients of the petition to sign it.
Back in the 1970’s, the bugaboo was the coming ice age, as this Time Magazine article promoted. Not to be outdone, Newsweek got on board. The article warned: “Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects.” Want more examples? Click here.
It, too, was based on junk science. It, too, had the same solution: government control over the economy. The goal never changes: government management over the economy. The justification has changed. If the voters won’t accept control over their lives on the basis of one brand of junk science, maybe they will accept another. As they used to say in the Nixon Administration: “Let’s run this up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes.”
Socialism’s Last Stand
The global warming movement is not about global warming. It is about the creation of an international political control arrangement by which bureaucrats who favor socialism can gain control over the international economy.
This strategy was stated boldly by economist Robert Heilbroner in 1990. Heilbroner, the multi-millionaire socialist and author of the best-selling history of economic thought, The Worldly Philosophers, wrote the manifesto for these bureaucrats. He did this in an article, “Reflections: After Communism,” published by The New Yorker (Sept. 10, 1990).
In this article, he made an astounding admission. He said that Ludwig von Mises had been right in 1920 in his article, “Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth.” Mises argued that without private ownership, central planners could not know what any resource is worth to consumers. With no capital market, the planners would be flying blind.
Heilbroner said that for 70 years, academic economists had either ignored this article or dismissed it without answering it. Then Heilbroner wrote these words: “Mises was right.”
Heilbroner was one of these people. There is no reference to Mises in The Worldly Philosophers.
This admission was the preliminary section of Heilbroner’s manifesto. He was cutting off all hope by socialists that there is a theoretically plausible response to Mises. The free market economy will always outproduce a socialist economy. Get used to it, he said.
Then, in the second section, he called on his socialist peers to get behind the ecology movement. Here, he said, is the best political means for promoting central planning, despite its inefficiency. In the name of ecology, he said, socialists can get a hearing from politicians and voters.
The article is not online. An abstract is. Here is the concluding thought of the abstract.
The direction in which things are headed is some version of capitalism, whatever its title. In Eastern Europe, the new system is referred to as Not Socialism. Socialism may not continue as an important force now that Communism is finished. But another way of looking at socialism is as the society that must emerge if humanity is to cope with the ecological burden that economic growth is placing on the environment. From this perspective, the long vista after Communism leads through capitalism into a still unexplored world that roust [must?] be safely attained and settled before it can be named.
Heilbroner did not care that a worldwide government-run economic planning system would not be called called socialism. He just wanted to see the system set up.
Heilbroner’s peers got the message. That was what Kyoto was all about.
Conclusion
If you like poverty, inefficiency, and bureaucratic controls over the economy, and therefore control over your choices, the “climate change” movement is ideal.
If you want to subsidize China and India, neither of which will enforce the rules laid down by unelected international bureaucrats, this movement is for you.
If you want to pay more for less energy, there is no better way than to pass the cap and tax bill which the House has passed. It will be sent to the U.S. Senate next week.
The rest of us should oppose it.

None of this theory is in our Obama youth camp curriculum. I really do not see how thousands of scientists working with Al Gore could be wrong. I mean guys like you know i saw the movie and scientific proof. This aritlce should be censored and i will block it using parental controls for all my students. I do keep an open mind but i cannnot allow conspiracy theory material into the minds of my youth students. This week our class focuses on a greenier and leiner economy, the Obama way. Come join us in Marin Couty to learn in our youth summer camp ages 9-18 welcome. The cap and trade anti-pollution bill needs your support to save our planet. Our students are writing a letter to congress urging passage of this landmark legislation. Kool Pres Obama cannot be wrong on this., you know like guys he did win with your help. so support the Obama youth camps of america whos goal is the greener education of your child. Its FREE, and that means its great. I like free stuff.

And if you go up to Sonoma County you can visit Bohemian Grove! Then you will be “in the grove” just like Treasury Secretary Timmy and all of our fine banker-friendly helpers.

As was stated in the movie “The Brotherhood of the Bell:”
I think we will be hearing a lot less from (over 31,000 scientists).

I’ve invented a device that will save the planet from carbon emmissions, it’s called a cow ass cork. Just plug it up the cows arse and it can’t fart, so it can’t pollute the air. Genious hey?
I’ve already tested it on Representative from Massachusetts Barney Frank! I couldn’t stick it up his ass because some black guy named Dingo was already occupying that space. So at lunch the next day I stuffed the cow ass cork in Barney Franks mouth! It really works because Barney talks funny. All he can utter is mmfffrrdf mmwwwddrdf and nobody knows what the fuck he’s talking about. Maybe that will cause a fillabuster on the tax and grab bill.

Very good article.

It is called PEAK OIL. That is the reason for all the carbon tax BS.
Did you ever play a board game called DIPLOMACY? It’s a great game. Totally absorbing a fun, despite the underlying darkness. It’s kind of like RISK, only with no dice. All of the moves are done simultaneously, as written orders are submitted and then read together. Anyway….the fun thing about Diplomacy is that your success in the game is totally dependent upon your ability to negotiate, make deals, break deals, stab your friends in the back and still be able to laugh with them over a beer, etc. But despite the fun, the game is also extraordinarily dark. In a kind of weird, microcosmic way, DIPLOMACY (the game) takes a pretend snapshot of what actually happens on a global scale—where billions of actual lives lie in the balance—between nations whose leaders and chief diplomats play “the game” for real. And here’s the thing: The leaders of nations will do anything, say anything, lie about anything, to win the game. Because of course the way they see it, the very survival of their way of life, and of the nation whom they purport to represent, is at stake. And why do I make this point? Because if you believe one iota of what your governmental leaders tell you, then you are a fool. And I do not mean that in a pejorative sense. I mean it in a most real and basic sense. If you believe the words of your political leadership, you fail to recognize that they will say and do and lie about anything in order to win the game. Winning the game is all that matters. Means and ends and all of that moral and ethical stuff? Not even a consideration…unless of course employing the ethics or morality “game card” can help you win. So as we listen to all of the words coming out of Washington—-whether it be Bush or Obama or Clinton or Reagan or Ike or Truman or whomever—understand that these words are not intended to be true. They are only intended to help sway public opinion in favor of the speaker so that he might gain a leg up on his opponent in the game. And as we watch our government undertake actions and create policies in our names, understand that they do so not because such policies or actions are moral or ethical or justified; they do so to beat their opponents and to win the game. Winning the game is all that matters. End of story.

LUCY LIB should be arrested for child abuse. Glad that the Dear Leader is clearing out Gitmo so we have room for the Global Warming Alarmist idiots.
