That’s what it is all about. I should know being a life-long aerospace scientist and an avid reader of economic books for many years now. The big picture here is that the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has lost all credibility because of both Climate Gates due to the thousands of e-mails that were leaked, that clearly expose the truth that many anthropogenic global warming (AGW) scientists frankly admit to each other that much of the science is weak and is very dependent upon deliberate manipulation of the facts and data. These scientists view climate change as a political cause, rather than having a balanced scientific discussion, in order to retrieve more funding to further their own career. Statistics are no better than the methods and definitions used in collecting them. If all aerospace scientists were to follow AGW scientist’s methods, planes would have a hard time getting off the ground.

All scientists do agree on one small slice: there has been warming over the past several hundred years but there is no agreement as to whether warming is dangerous or not. But this latest “apocalypse” has opportunist members such as Hollywood that have joined the bandwagon. Their end game is to divert or transfer wealth from one entity to another in order to change the earth’s temperature a fraction of a degree over many years (low energy thought at its brightest).

I, too, would like to see a move away from carbon-based fuels to safer energy sources — but with a different, and much better focus that will increase the speed of this change.  Remove the ultimate goal of the transferring of wealth (Marxism) over to focusing more on free-market economic policies, which have been stepped on since the early 1900s by the initial Progressive movement. In summary, this is more about opening a back door for very bad economic policies to take root in the United States, via the use of bad climate models which are the front door of the climate-change discussion. The debate is not over, rather it is just the beginning. Unless, that is, free speech gets stepped on. Wait a minute: that is exactly what Progressives are trying to do right now, along with their other misguided priorities. Stupid is as stupid does: if you vote stupid, you get stupid. Period.
