Theft by climate
If not for its guarantee of economic and societal ruination for America, one might consider man-made climate change hysteria nothing more than just another kooky eco cult.
However, this insidious religious sect includes in its flock Obama and the Democrat Congress, to the point that carbon dioxide (CO2) has been ludicrously mislabeled a pollutant by the EPA.
Qui bono?
Globally, wealth redistribution schemes have run amok -- from CO2 emission reduction to CO2 emission trading -- which do not even theoretically reduce total emissions of this
non-pollutant.
Such fraudulent schemes, pilfering hundreds of billions of dollars from the world's legitimate producers and economic mainstays, have been founded upon irrationally- and zealously-fueled:
Public fear-mongering driven by State-run Media; Inaccurate, manipulated, or omitted scientific data; and Baseless, speculative preaching of climate profiteers and crisis hucksters.
Oh, and please do remember the Cap-And-Tax fraud. If enacted, the "cap-and-trade" bill will give the federal government the ability to control free enterprise as it relates to energy production and development.
What a kick in the economic groin that's going to be, particularly for our poor and low-income families.
And throughout all of this fraudulence, fleecing, and fear-mongering, the man-is-enemy acolytes publicly eviscerate the oil companies for spending their own hard-earned income to debunk the scam and defend themselves.
Ah cultists, how maniacally deceitful thou art!
Ma, pensare un momento, i miei buoni amici. Which faction is spending the most on this global fraud? Who benefits the most, the eco thieves or the oil companies? Qui bono?
Quite a different tune
The Science and Public Policy Institute has published a paper by Joanne Nova entitled Climate Money (.pdf doc). The paper examines the money behind the global warming movement, including the unimaginable amount of U.S. taxpayer dollars spent.
The report is as eye-opening as it is thorough. Here are a few salient factors summarized by Ms. Nova:
The U.S. government has spent over $79 billion since 1989 on policies related to climate change, including science and technology research, administration, education campaigns, foreign aid, and tax breaks.
Despite the billions: "audits" of the science are left to unpaid volunteers. A dedicated but largely uncoordinated grassroots movement of scientists has sprung up around the globe to test the integrity of the theory and compete with the well funded, highly organized climate monopoly. They have exposed major errors.
Carbon trading worldwide reached $126 billion in 2008. Banks are calling for more carbon-trading. And experts are predicting the carbon market will reach $2-$10 trillion making carbon the largest single commodity traded.
Meanwhile, Exxon-Mobil Corp is repeatedly attacked for paying a grand total of $23 million to skeptics - less than a thousandth of what the U.S. government has put in, and less than one five-thousandth of the value of carbon trading in just the single year of 2008.
After spending $30 billion on pure science research, no one is able to point to a single piece of empirical evidence that man-made carbon dioxide has a significant effect on the global climate.
Warming hysteria = Cold cash
Our friends at I Hate The Media! offer a visual, no-holds-barred take on this money-grubbing scheme, replete with graphs and spot-on commentary.
Massive government expenditures designed to prove the non-existent connection between carbon and climate has only benefited a powerful alliance of self-serving special-interest brigands -- and certainly not the oil companies.
You are witnessing the distortion of science by calculating miscreants for self-serving gain.
Hype and Chains.
