Inside The Climate Economics And Politics Of The Climate Change Industry
— DrewM

The battle over climate change is a David vs. Goliath fight according to Marc Morano, Director of Communications at CFACT, Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow and editor of their website Climate Depot.

But who is who in this pitched battle? It's not who you think if you just listened to the media.

Â“One fossil fuel donation [by a natural gas company] to the major environmental group, the Sierra Club, exceeded all the donations to probably of all the top global warming skeptic organizations you can ever name, in one donation. ThatÂ’s how well funded the environmental left is.Â”

In addition to that we talk about what it's like to do battle with people who continually move the goal posts while insisting that the "science is settled", how "climate change" became the explanation to everything and the ways some Republicans have helped advance Al Gore's pet cause.

And one more thing:

Unlike the hoax known as AGW, there actually is observational data that would have supported a geocentric theory of the solar system, until people figured out elliptical orbits...

In other words, there is data to support the sun circling the earth, which puts those crazies on an even higher footing than the total fucking loons who chant global warming...

9 After 10 years of pointing out the facts and exposing the bullshit that is this moving "climate change" target, one can become weary. But the left is relentless in their pursuit of stupidity. So, once again, we sigh, ruck up, and get back into the fight. They're actually on the ropes on this, and they know it. Just need that arm bar, and when they try to tap out? Don't stop. Snap that arm in half.

13 Yes, a group of rent seeking crony corruption SOBs.

I have always said there are three groups involved with the AGW scam.

The largest group is the communist bastards in government who want to use it for an excuse to seize control of the electric industry and increase taxes through the roof. These are the Obamas of the world.

The next group is the anarchist/communists who just want to see the West crushed.

And the smallest group is the stupid Giaa worshipers who truly believe.

22 I had a natural science prof. back in 94' telling the class to be aware of a governmental fraud being past off as climate research. He actually worked with the Kyoto study and said that after 10 years of research, the study was inconclusive if man contributed to global warming or not. The politicians didn't like it and had the commity re-write the summary to suit polticial ends. This fraud is nothing but a means to redistribute wealth to the third world via the purchase of intagible assets (carbon credits) who sell them to industrialized countries. Al Gore and some chosen few will become filthy rich orchestrating it all, but this fraud is nothing but one-world universal bullox passed off as "environmental threats."

29 One of the most deft moves that they've made is the "climate change means increased occurrences of extreme weather". Now any time there's a bad weather event they chime in - "more evidence of climate change!!!eleventy!!!" Yet, if a skeptic notes some weather event, they scream "that's just weather you numbskull don''t you know the difference between weather and climate!"

Mikey Mann keeps beating the same drum . . .

If the world keeps burning fossil fuels at the current rate, it will cross a threshold into environmental ruin by 2036. The "faux pause" could buy the planet a few extra years beyond that date to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and avoid the crossover -- but only a few.

From HuffPoo.

Get that? 2036 is the new goalpost. I'm quite sure we are standing past the original goal post placement on the timeline - from the 1990's.

Posted by: rockhead at March 19, 2014 06:42 PM (jtTKf) Having moved from positing a global temperature trend due increased carbon dioxide levels to positing an increase in the level of variability in the weather (and how does one define that, anyway?) from the same cause, unless I misremember my statistics, I seriously doubt that they realize they have shifted to a regime where their standards of proof must be based on different statistical tests. If "climatologists" were legitimate and knowledgeable scientists, they would recognize this; as extortionists, they need not.

64 The facts.... It is warmer now then it was in 1850...the general starting point of AGW proponents. The science here is "settled" to the extent that means anything but... 1850 was by historical standards cold...we were coming out of the little ice age. It is not at all clear whether humanity has had any impact on that temperature increase, and if so how much, consider... It was warmer in the high middle ages then now, and probably during the high point of the Roman Empire...and possibly in the 1930s...note that none of the predicted catastrophes happened. Maybe highly populated areas like northern Europe and the American northeast were buried under thick sheets of ice in the time period before the start of recorded history. This will almost certainly happen again and has the possibility of destroying civilization as we know it.

76 Buckeye Abroad: "Until the productive give up and there isn't enough to confiscate to feed their expanding tribe."

The very definition of Communism. I have family who escaped the Baltics and revisited both before and after The Wall came down. The civilization, as they recorded, appeared crushed. And the Baltics were the Utopian vacation spot of the Soviet Union post Commie invasion.

Before The Wall? Nearly empty markets selling, essentially, air. Old, decrepit, broken cities that looked like black-n-white war footage. It was a step back in time. After The Wall? Bustling markets for a time but struggling commerce because the people had few to no assets. The civilization, for the most part, had been purged of industry and expertise as the natives had been sent off to Siberia (and other labor/death camps) while the Communists exported Russians and their "collective" mindset. The trade that was happening was because of West Germans visiting and priming the economic pump.

Be assured that if the Russians regress (under Putin's boot), they'll be reinviting hell.

103 Since we're discussing virtual reality vs. real science, here's some NASA for you morons to chew on. Here's How NASA Thinks Society Will Collapse: Too much inequality and too few natural resources could leave the West vulnerable to a Roman Empire-style fall. If we're to avoid their fate, we'll need policies to reduce economic inequality and preserve natural resources, according to a NASA-funded study that looked at the collapses of previous societies. By Alex Brown, 18 March 2014, National Journal (Tech Section) http://tinyurl.com/q44zkpr "NASA-funded" social studies, since Obama redirected the purpose of NASA to outreach benefit Muslim Nations rather than explore the universe. As if it takes "rocket scientists" in their area of specialization to regurgitate as if a "discovery," or to verify as gravitas, recorded history of the rise and fall of empires? Even were THAT the case, unfair distribution of wealth and the institution of slavery BUILT the Roman Empire as well as the Persian, Assyrian, and Babylonian Empires. Empires fell when there was no more rule of law. Empires fall when there is more corruption than virtue in the government AND in the population of citizens. Our taxes are squandered and NASA turned into a ridiculous institution shoveling shit like this "study" as if earth shattering. And yes, people do yearn for liberty.

Posted by: Cicero (@cicero) at March 19, 2014 03:24 PM (8ZskC)

132 My latest spin on Climate Change: Viewed globally, the real long-term consequence of all the Â“climate changeÂ”-related policy proposals is to transfer massive amounts of wealth from the First World developed nations to the Third World underdeveloped nations, while simultaneously crippling the ability of the developed world to maintain its economic dominance. What could motivate this seemingly suicidal economic policy by First-World progressives? In a word: Guilt. Specifically, Â“white guiltÂ” by Europeans (and those descended from Europeans) for having unfairly exploited backward regions and non-white peoples over the last few centuries to establish white economic hegemony over the rest of the world. This rationale is openly discussed at the annual United Nations Climate Change Conferences, where representatives of Third World nations demand payback and reparations for colonialist exploitation, and where the descendants of those colonialists grovel in abject apology for the wrongdoings of their ancestors. But deeply embedded in those apologies and guilt is a racism that far surpasses even the naive racism of yesteryear. If you enter into competition with a rival you deem approximately equal in skill to yourself, and then you win fair and square, then it would never occur to you to apologize for winning nor would you feel guilty about it Â— because it was a fair fight. On the other hand, if you compete against and then easily defeat an opponent whose very nature you believe makes them inescapably inferior to you Â— for example, getting in a fistfight with a small child Â— then afterwards you might very well feel guilty and apologize for taking advantage of a lesser opponent who had no chance against you due to their inherent inadequacy. So when a modern progressive apologizes for his ancestorsÂ’ past colonialist dominance, he is really saying: Â“IÂ’m so sorry that we smart organized aggressive white people took advantage of you lesser peoples whose inherent cultural and intellectual shortcomings made you incapable of fending us off: it wasnÂ’t a fair fight, and I apologize.Â” In other words: Apologizing is an unconscious backhanded way of declaring your innate superiority. If these modern progressives felt that their ancestors had achieved global dominance by defeating rivals of equal stature, then thereÂ’d be nothing to feel guilty about, and thus no need to pay reparations and hence no need to devise the Â“climate changeÂ” crisis and attendant suicidal economic policies.

138 Friedman, the intellectually lazy fuck, pontificates I donÂ’t like Keystone. Extracting oil from tar sands leads to even higher carbon emissions than drilling and devastates the landscape. But, if approval is the price for a truly transformational clean energy policy, IÂ’m in. YouÂ’re not going to move the vested interests without a trade, but it has to be a smart trade. This is a grand bargain on energy that would advance our growth, national security and climate policy. If paired with similar efforts by our NATO allies, it would, in time, sharply reduce PutinÂ’s ability to blackmail his neighbors, using energy. It would also protect Americans from price shocks, as both the sun and the wind are free, make our farmers, our coastal cities and our public health system much more resilient and tilt our energy policy toward exploiting our advantage Â— technology Â— rather than oil.

Third, we have to accelerate energy efficiency and clean power technologies by building up our research and development programs to the levels they merit, probably triple todayÂ’s levels.

We've largely concluded the "exploration" phase in the inner solar system and have arrived at the point where we should be talking about "space utilization" and "space settlement".)

168 >>Friedman is a lazy asshole who hasn't written anything new in a decade If he had written something new he would still be a lazy asshole.

169 Muldoon I thought that was supposed to be the sound of you revving up a Ford F-150, no the aluminum one, to run over said titmouse flattitmouse

170 Bowling scores, random numbers, chickenshit density graphs, payoff lists. I can make Global Warming hockey sticks out of anything.

171 The use of the word "titmouse" to refer to a bird is the grossest form of speciest appropriation. We absolutely decry and denounce it.

173 There is a big wind turbine farm south of Shenandoah Iowa (closer to Tarkio MO actually) that I had to go out and take a look at last time I was out that way. Wind turbines as far as the eye could see...and not a single damn one of them turning. Apparently the cold weather jells the lubricant and if you try to run them you will tear them up, or some such bullshit as that.

Acres and acres of prime farmland, wasted. That's in addition to the acres and acres of prime farmland diverted to the growing of corn for ethanol, which is another political hotcake and overall loser...and then I'm amused by the number of farmers sitting around drinking their coffee, cashing the checks from the .gov from their fallow acres and ethanol subsides, bitching about the welfare queens.

174 New in California: Ground tremors or any other ground movement, vibration or shaking that may or does cause damage shall be referred to as "frackquakes". Carry on.

176 The Libs called it Cheney's revenge and had storm tracks showing the hurricanes going mostly through counties that went Dem. Those were the good old days... before global warming shut down the hurricanes.

177 Okay, I laughed: Vladiqueer Pooftin ‏@GayPatriot 11m I would argue the "reason we lose" is because we are too nice and handle the Left with kid gloves. Barack Obama doesn't "play nice." Expand

178 PRO TIP: Unless NASA's advice concerns launching rockets, it can safely be ignored. Posted by: Cicero (@cicero) at March 19, 2014 07:16 PM (8ZskC) _________________ I wasn't aware NASA launched rockets anymore. I know USAF launches satellites (GPS/Communications/Spy, etc.) But NASA?? Not so much. Besides, I'm sure NASA is FAR too busy with its primary mission ('outreach' to muzzie countries) to be bothered with such mundane stuff as actually launching rockets.
