Anthropogenic Global Warming-The New Secular Religion

The governors of four Western states, Oregon, Washington, Arizona and Kalifornia have declared their intent to lessen their respective state’s “carbon footprints” and reduce their consumption of oil. How exciting, another four fools buying into the greatest scam of the last 100 years, “anthropogenic global warming.”

This follows on the heels of Exxon/Mobil’s capitulation to the environmentalist extortion, and a bunch of “scientists,” from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) who work for the UN, telling us that it is “very likely” that human activity is causing “global warming.”

At the UN they have to include the wiggle words “very likely,” because the truth is they don’t have a good enough case to prove their conclusion. Believe me they would have used the word “certain” if they could have justified it in any way. That they didn’t speaks volumes.

The capitulation of Exxon/Mobil to the pressures and extortion of politicians is disappointing, but completely understandable. Their board of directors is paid to maximize profit, not to make a stand based on principle. I pretty much saw this one coming when Senators Olympia Snowe (RINO-Me) and John Jay Rockefeller, IV (D-WV) issued their demands last October that Exxon/Mobil stop funding research, because:

“ExxonMobil’s extensive funding of an “echo chamber” of non-peer reviewed pseudo-science had unfortunately succeeded in raising questions about the legitimate scientific community’s virtually universal findings on the detrimental effects of global warming.”

Tell me another one Chicken Little.

Note the Senators’ choice of words “pseudo-science” and “legitimate scientific community.” That is a well established arguing technique of the Left; you summarily dismiss your opponents as “unqualified” and proclaim your supporters as the only “legitimate” source of information. Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Joseph Stalin and Joseph Goebbels all used this technique to good effect in promoting their agenda.
