A Deconstruction.
It is more important to get serious about the truth. When will the media pursue that goal?
CoP21 in Paris in 2015 where POGO Politics continued to Con A Gullible World has come and gone.
Higher CO2. Better weather. More crop growth. Sounds good to me. Who has a problem with that?
Some people can’t exist outside of anxiety so they manufacture a crisis in their own mind to keep themselves happy. Why do they have to spoil it by visiting their delusions on the rest of us?
Some people see the potential to advance their terrible totalitarian tendencies and latch onto a crisis to milk it for all the power they can accrue.
Some people see a crisis, real or imagined, as a way to enrich themselves while riding the stupidity of others as far as they will let them.
There are a lot of people with no dedication to the truth and it is they who ‘pose the most dire threat to humanity’. Turning reality topsy turvy is their particular skill and they are either too dumb to know it or they are too nefarious to care. They trade in confusion and revel in peppering the media with claims of drastic evils of unimagined horror. People are always looking for the shaman, the one who seems to know the future and the path to salvation. Humans fall for this nonsense time and time again. Our downfall is that we accept less critically observations which support our worldview than those that don’t. There are people smart enough and sociopathic enough to take advantage of the weakness we have to believe what we want to hear. Tell it to us and we are more likely to believe it without further investigation. We can be enticed to believe the most ridiculous things, even complete contradictions like CO2 causes it to be too warm AND too cold. CO2 becomes evil incarnate and responsible for all that we don’t like about the world. Even better if there are people who can be fingered to take the fall for that which we dislike. Now we can focus our ire on our fellow humans and the witch hunt begins.
Once the juggernaut gets on a roll it is hard to stop. The totalitarians among us are schooled well in the art of manufacturing a crisis. It seems the lovers of liberty are always on the defensive, caught by surprise, unorganized and always playing catch up and we are often too late to arrest the assault on our freedoms. The totalitarians somehow manage to seize the moral high ground and attack those who raise objections as evil doers backed by those who stand to benefit economically. Attack always deflects attention from your own goals which often best be covered up to hide their unpalatability to the general public.
The totalitarians leading the charge of CO2 centric climate change theory have done a masterful job in demonizing CO2 and Big Oil. Big Oil in their pathetic attempts to appear GREEN belittle their own existence and add kindling to their own self immolation at the stake.
And yet, the state of the world as indicated by the data above, is better now than it was in the past. Extreme weather is NOT more frequent and more severe. Sea level rise is NOT going to swamp us. That is why the Maldives keep building hotels, resorts and airports. The ice caps are not melting away. Polar bear numbers are 5 times more plentiful now than in the 1950s. Temperatures are NOT rising in a manner that is in any way connected with the human emissions of CO2. In fact that is so true that NOAA/NASA has to cheat in order to give the WH grounds to say that they are the warmest evah.
It is long past the time lovers of liberty got serious about becoming the sand in the gears of the totalitarian advance.
