Global
Hustle
Let
me preface this by saying that I truly believe we should take better care of the
planet we live on.
In
my book companies who try to hide their poisonous waste in landfills should be
severely dealt with.
I
recycle, I don't litter and I believe that the rain forest should be preserved.
I
think pouring toxins into our streams and rivers is tantamount to a criminal act.
But
there is no way I am going to buy into global warming as anything but a blatant
attempt to control industry, take freedom away from the people and put political
power into the hands of a bunch of elitist wimps who would like nothing better
than to tell America what to do, how to think and how many trips they can make
to the bathroom every day.
People,
this is nothing but a bald faced power grab using flawed science and scare tactics
aided by a lap dog media and opportunist politicians and globalists who see a
way to squeeze America a little more.
If
Al Gore and his disciples are so convinced they are right, why won't they let
the other side be heard? Why do they suppress scientific information that proves
them to be wrong about global warming? If their theory, and people it's nothing
more than that, a theory, and if it is right why can't it stand the light of debate?
Why not have a nationally televised debate letting both sides have their say?
I'll
tell you why not. It's because they can't stand the white hot light of the real
truth. There are just as many imminent scientists who are anti global warming
as pro global warming. The problem is that the ones who don't support global warming
cannot find a forum to be heard in and the rest are afraid of losing their grant
money.
If
global warming is so imminent why isn't Al Gore spending his time in China where
they are opening a new coal fired power plant every few days and the pollution
problem is much worse and less attended to than anywhere in the western world.
China lives in a perpetual cloud of gray pollution and the problem is only going
to get worse as they have to create twenty five million new jobs a year.
And
the biggest hoax and the silliest proposal of all, carbon credits. This is just
downright dumb.
If
one company or individual doesn't create their quota of carbon emissions in a
year's time they can sell their shortfall to someone who creates more than their
quota. Let's take a look at this.
Hypothetical
situation -
Company
A has a carbon emissions quota of 100 tons a year, but they only emit 75 tons.
Company
B has a carbon emissions quota of 100 tons a year but they surpass their quota
and emit 125 tons.
Company
A sells company B their 25-ton shortfall and company B is in compliance with the
carbon emissions law.
If
Company A and Company B both emitted their legal allowance of 100 tons a year,
how much carbon emission would that be?
Company
A - 100 tons
Company B - 100 tons
----------------
Equals 200 tons
Hypothetical
2
Company
A emits 75 tons and sells company B their 25 ton short fall.
Company
A - 75 tons
Company B - 125 tons
----------------
Equals 200 tons
It
might not make a whit of difference in the carbon emissions but it sure will make
Al Gore and the Hollywood bunch feel good about themselves.
Pray
for our troops
What
do you think?
God
bless America
