Another Look At Global Warming

Perhaps the globe is, as Al Gore insists, warming; but to what degree man is respon-sible for it, and to what extent he can reverse it, is largely unknown.

What is known, however, is that most of the world's politicians are greedy and power-hungry fools. So you can be certain of one thing--they wouldn’t be leaping on the global-warming bandwagon if they didn’t expect to reap some pretty substantial dividends.

And who will be paying those dividends? Who do you think?

The wealth and power that currently resides in our hands gradually, or perhaps speedily, will be shifted over to them, for you can be assured that the politicians will see to it that the job of keeping the world from overheating will be big, expensive and quite possibly endless.

Furthermore, as the global-warming locomotive gathers momentum, expect to see individual freedoms greatly curtailed and government power vastly expanded. In due time, don’t be surprised if you begin hearing more and more talk of the need to establish a global government. (Well you didn’t think an ugly bogeyman like global warming could be subdued by anything less than a global government, did you?)

What Americans have to get through their heads--and quickly--is that the global-warming mania is simply an excuse to steal power away from the people and transfer it to government officials around the world. It’s not about controlling climate, at all. Even selfish and power-grabbing politicians, dumb as they are, know that’s impossible.

Some of you may be asking yourselves, why are scientists on board? Well, a great many aren’t. But those who are see gobs of grant money and possibly a Nobel prize coming their way. Remember, even scientists have egos. They hunger for recognition, just like the rest of us.

But know this, if we allow the world’s politicians to push this scam through, we’re going to find out the hard way that going “green” doesn’t lead to utopia. Instead, it will open the door to the worst and most pervasive tyranny imaginable.

A great American patriot, Patrick Henry, once proclaimed: “Give me liberty or give me death!” And you know, he had a point there. What good is life, after all, if you don’t have the freedom to live it as you wish? Are we going to permit ourselves to be pushed, frightened and stampeded into bondage in order to escape the largely unknown consequences of global warming?

To abandon the best system of government in the world, with its guaranteed rights and freedoms, to pursue a dubious undertaking like climate control is both absurd and dangerous.

Don’t buy into it!

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
