The World’s Not Warming – So Grab Your Wallet

I suppose in some ways, the hue and cry about “Global Warming” is good for people who want to work at home. Companies who want to be “green” and “good” and all that are being pressured to allow telecommuting to save the world from Global Warming. So more work at home jobs could result from this baloney that so far has only served to enrich Al Gore by a $100 million dollars over the last 7 years.

But aside from those jobs created my fear is that really the motive behind all the call for “saving the planet” is to give unlimited, tyrannical power to people who don’t care one whit about the planet but, instead, care about lining their own pockets and grabbing power.

Now that’s not to say that they haven’t conned many sincere well meaning people into believing their hype.

But I’m talking about the opinion leaders who want to tell everyone how to live as long as they can fly all over the world on the tax payer’s dime to make their pronouncements while castigating YOU for leaving too big a “Carbon Footprint”.

If they are given more power, it will likely destroy opportunities to work at home because good work at home opportunities follow a growing economy, not the recession/depression scenario that would follow the carbon cut backs Al Gore and cabal are calling for.

The facts are that the globe hasn’t warmed for 6 years.

The New Statesman: Has global warming stopped? ‘The fact is that the global temperature of 2007 is statistically the same as 2006 and every year since 2001′

For the past decade the world has not warmed. Global warming has stopped. It’s not a viewpoint or a sceptic’s inaccuracy. It’s an observational fact. Clearly the world of the past 30 years is warmer than the previous decades and there is abundant evidence (in the northern hemisphere at least) that the world is responding to those elevated temperatures. But the evidence shows that global warming as such has ceased.

For purposes of energy security in the US and the West, I’d love to see hydrogen or ethanol fuels that produce water as the emission. It would also put a dent (in the US at least) in the supposed causes of Global Warming.

That could happen by requiring auto makers to create flex fuel vehicles, but that’s too simple and doesn’t give the power hungry the leverage they crave.
