local climate change
Why do alarmist always use regional and local events to express climate change? ?
Simply because most people only believe what they hear in the media. The big picture does not add up at all. The temperature of the earth and the ice pack fluctuates. Prominent scientists have spoken out against the concept which is based on skewed computer models and fear. However most people do not fact check or disbelieve something if it is sown over and over again in every news cast or newspaper. Global Warming is a tool to try to make Government even bigger and more in control. By invoking global warming the “Progressives” can advocate signing the Kyoto accord and weaken our economy to the point it fails enough so they can bail it out and nationalize it. Using regional events and half truths is a great way to spread this fear. As a side note, if I hear another celebrity that has 4 mansions and a jet plane telling me that they are buying carbon credits … Oh yeah, that and having them tell me I need to make sure I load my dishwasher all the way full to protect the environment I will have to call them out as the hypocrites they are.
