Last week,
protestors gathered on Montana Rail Link property in
Helena advancing the state sponsored lie man’s
carbon emissions cause climate change. Carrying
signage warning of imaginative dangers with no
factual basis, they screamed coal dust from trains
was a health risk to innocent bystanders plus
burning Montana coal in China would make our
Treasure State a desert state. Where do I begin?
Even though, Mark Twain warned it is easier to fool
someone, than convince them they have been fooled, I
will try. Call me stupid.
With respect to the Helena protestors, time has
proven the theory tying man’s carbon emissions to
climate change is fatally flawed. If you hypothesize
the raising of A will elevate B, then it must happen
each and every time. In science there is no maybe.
When A rises and B does nothing it is not because B
was waiting in the convenience store checkout line
and missed the cue; the causative relationship does
not exist. UN IPCC members are frantically spinning
data to explain away why in spite of increased
atmospheric carbon dioxide, the polar ice caps are
growing to record size with no significant global
warming. The climate alarmist’s base hypothesis is
bunk, but they advance it for the selfish reason a
river of research dollars flows to climatologists
who advance the state sponsored theory. Their
minions bitterly cling to the myth because it is all
they know and here is why.
In a totalitarian state, government maintains power
not through the aggressive use of force, but through
the judicious application of ignorance. By denying
knowledge, the masses can be indoctrinated to not
only accept, but even demand restrictions levied by
the ruling class. When the state convinces the
citizenry an impending catastrophe can only be
avoided by raising taxes or increasing regulations
the battle is over. Forced ignorance is the opiate
of liberalism and sadly, in 2013, America is
addicted to stupid. Climate change prophet Al Gore
is amassing enormous wealth evangelizing
environmentalism. When any activist advances a
preposterous theory have the sense of mind to ask
yourself, “How will they benefit if I believe them?”
Do not fall victim to stupid.
