When it comes to global warming, there is no serious debate. Global warming is a liberal myth borne from a festering hatred of industrialization and capitalism. I know that sounds harsh, but facts are facts. There are no hard scientific facts to substantiate global warming. I have never read any scientific proposal or theory that has been peer reviewed by a credible scientific body. All we have is empiracal data which is completely inconsistent over time. Nor has anyone actually stated a theory which can be tested in the laboratory.


If you go back in history, you see this type of social activism again and again. The earliest that comes to mind is the book, "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. That book and Sinclair's methodology set the standard for yellow journalism used to this day. The tactic socialist activists use is to write a biased account of the organization(s) they want to cripple or subjugate. They follow with wave after wave of propaganda demonizing the industry and the people who run it. Once the political mood is ripe, the anticapitalists propose legislation that limits the ability of the industry or destroys it entirely. Once the legislation is in place, government can use those laws to make the industry in question do their bidding.

The socialist structure in the country is broad and powerful. We all know it prevails in Northeastern society. But what many don't know is how prevalent it is in the American university system, legal system, nor how it is financed. It destroyed Johns-Manville through asbestos litigation. They have crippled the chemical industry with endless litigation for polution. And now they have targeted the oil industry and health care.

Global warming histeria is just the demonization phase of their efforts. The ultimate goal is to establish a cap and trade system where government can control how much these industries produce. Once in place, they can shake the industrial complex down for any favor they need.

If you read the history of Italian Fascism, you will see that is the form of industrial socialism they long for.
