Summary...
in Britain, weather forecasters are a national joke. As they should be. Government scientists drunk on tax payers money return day after day, necks of brass, with new pronouncements about what the future will hold. Only to be proved day after day to be wrong. If government scientists can't even predict tomorrow, why should we believe them decades into the future. I'm old enough to remember the seventies, being told to fear global cooling. The new ice age was coming. In Britain that was a far easier sell.
Global warming is the perfect doomsday cult for the secularists. It's science based - sort of. It blames mankind and capitalism for our consumerist sins. Especially those in the west. It taps into our collective guilt of our past. And it worships the big stick of government to regulate us back toward virtue. Of course liberals are a little softer when it comes to their doomsday cults. No angry god smiting us sinners into eternal damnation. We get slowly rising sea levels and slightly warmer weather. And with ample enough time for our own redemption once we repent for the error of our ways.
If global warming ever does come, effects are sure to be gradual over many decades. Beach side real estate might slowly fall in value and homes closer inland will increase. If the world ever does get any warmer, all the northern land masses like Alaska, Canada, northern Europe and Russia would be enormously grateful. Britains might even get the Mediterranean climate they all dream of. And we'd finally stop bitching about the weather. But I wouldn't count on it.
Using the scariest numbers they dare put their names to, scientists are predicting 3.1mm per year. That's about half of the height of a very small wave on Bondi beach. And that's after 100 years of waiting.
But there is a far more dangerous agenda to all this scare mongering. By making all of mankind and our lifestyle the enemy, there will be no end to the levels of bureaucratic meddling in the name of saving the planet they will not be able to get away with. Germany didn't start off by gassing their own people. They first began labeling them enemies of the state. Communism showed us what politicians can do in the name of 'serving' their own people. Just imagine the mischief they could make 'serving' the planet. Knowing that people, CO2 breathing, SUV driving people, are the new enemies of the state. Of the planet! The designated scapegoats of the 'environmentally friendly' state. Should we really be so surprised that now even the torture of human beings is legitimized and being embraced by the state.
