Insane Waste Of Money On Global Warming And Climate Change Continues

The absurd notion that mankind is causing global warming and hence climate change continues to be spread by the liberal controlled media.  It is not seriously questioned often enough because too many people are making and stand to make Billions of dollars from the "biggest hoax of all time."  It has become such a political hot-potato that even people in positions to know, like scientists, are afraid to speak out for fear of losing their jobs, their funding, or worse.  Yes, there is THAT much money involved.  Now we learn that the NSA, IRS, FBI, EPA, etc. is listening in on, and sometimes selectively blocking or censoring everything we read and write.  Are we living in a "Police State"?  Yes, beyond a doubt.  Watch, I'll be shut down just for saying this.

The idea that we could actually change and control the Earth's huge and complex atmospheric climate system is even more absurd.  People won't even go close to asking the question "could we really control climate change even if we put every last human effort and dollar to work on the issue?"  The answer is obviously NO.  I mean 1/3 of the people in the U.S. are on food stamps, tens of millions of people are unemployed, or underemployed, and people want to spend Billions more to try and change the climate?  Insane.

To the ignorant trolls lurking out there: you bet it's a political issue.  It has to be.  New bills and taxes are being forced down our throats by our legislators on this issue every day.  It has long gone way past being a scientific question, which I originally, naively assumed.  As a scientist, I had faith in logic, reason, facts, and the scientific method.  No longer.  We have lost control to big business, and big politics or big government.  So we must fight the insanity using every method we can.

Politicians look at a "carbon tax" on everything we do, and they DROOL; because most of the energy we use requires the release of simple (and harmless) carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.  They salivate or dream about grabbing all that potential tax revenue.  It is literally like being able to tax the air we breath.  We do produce and release carbon dioxide every time we exhale.  Simply speaking, we breath in oxygen, use it for vital physiological functions, and our bodies convert it to carbon dioxide.  And our government wants to tax it!!!!  Amazing  (and sad) that so many people are so uneducated that they accept such absurd tax proposals.  Obviously most of our public school teachers have also fallen for or are intimidated into accepting the global warming/human connection hoax.

Now we get some egomaniac control-freak, like Billionaire NYC Mayor Bloomberg making proposals like the one described in the article below.  Such idiocy is actually treasonous, if you think about it.  What destroys America's economy, destroys America.

Mayor Bloomberg Pledges $20 Billion NYC Doesn't Have To Address Global Warming Which Isn't Happening

Written by Jeff Dunetz, The Lid.
submerged-New-York-AI-2001Build a Boat! It's Gonna Start Flooding! (sometime soon). According to Mommy Mayor Bloomberg NYC is about to be flooded because of global warming, so he's announced a $20 billion dollar plan to prevent the big apple from becoming the worlds largest bobbing for apples game.  Its a reasonable plan with only two problems, the City doesn't have that kind of money and the sea level isn't rising, in fact temperatures haven't risen in 15+ years.
Mayor Bloomberg unveiled a $20 billion plan to defend New York City from what he claim will be the ravages of global warming in the coming decades. His  plan will cost the average New York City household nearly $3,000.

Bloomberg’s 430-page plan, Special Initiative for Rebuilding and Resiliency, includes approximately 250 recommendations ranging from new floodwalls and storm barriers to upgrades in the city’s power and telecommunications infrastructure. The plan also calls for $1.2 billion in loans and grants to help owners make buildings more resilient to floods and proposes changes in the city’s building code.
New York has always had to deal with the threat of flooding. Hurricanes and severe tropical storms have struck the area periodically since the founding of New Amsterdam (today’s New York) in 1624.Bloomberg announced the plan by claiming New Yorkers could either “do nothing and expose ourselves to an increasing frequency of Sandy-like storms” or “make the investments necessary to build a stronger, more resilient New York.”
 
Bloomberg is correct about the frequency of bad hurricanes, there was Hurricane Donna in 1960 (a category 2), Hurricane Gloria in 1985, Irene in 2011 and Sandy in 2012.  See--a-15-year-gap followed by a 26-year gap and a 1-year gap (there were other storms but these were the bad ones).  Come on Mayor! Four bad hurricanes in 52 years and you are freaking out!

“I have trouble seeing exactly how spending $20 billion—that’s billion with a ‘b’—will prevent bad weather or climate,” said climate scientist Willie Soon. “In general, to be more prepared is a good thing. But preparing, as New York City is apparently doing, using the faulty climate modeling scenarios offered by the UN IPCC [United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] is a serious distortion of basic science.”
 
As far as sea levels---that's also nonsense. The President forgot  ever since the last ice-age 10,000 years ago, sea levels have been rising. So unless the Neanderthals were imitating Al Gore and flying private jets and driving gas guzzlers, rising sea levels are not caused by man but by natural phenomena.

The climate change hoaxers use computer models to predict that sea levels would rise anywhere from 15 inches to 20 feet because of global warming in the 21st century (the consensus number is closer to 3 feet).

But Mother Nature was never good at computer science.  Satellite data proved that the first decade of the 21st century sea level grew by only 0.83 inches (a pace of just 8 inches for the entire century). What's even worse (for the global warming hoaxers) there has been no rise since 2006.  Just like there has been no warming since 1998.

Gotta feel bad for the Mayor, he must be having some pretty bad nightmares to believe the City that never sleeps is going to become the city that can't keep its head above the water. Maybe he should stop having spicy food before he goes to sleep.  Perhaps instead he could relax with a nice 44 ounce Slurpee.
