Don’t Exhale, It’s Bad for My Health

As if it couldn’t get any crazier, I saw this story today click here. There are several things that alarm me about this article, and I’ll discuss them one by one.

“In the face of GOP opposition…”, the Obama administration and its cronies in Congress are no longer even paying lip service to a bi-partisan approach to governance. They have the upper hand and they intend to use it for all it’s worth. This wouldn’t be such a problem if they were at least within one standard deviation of the political center in this country. But they are not even within three standard deviations, to put the problem into an engineering context.

“The administration also waved off concerns about the controversy…”, as though the blatant distortions and deception made evident by the recently exposed trail of emails is completely unrelated to the “science” behind the global climate “panic”.

“Democrats, though, claimed that the announcement Monday only strengthens the argument for government action.” This is so ridiculous. I can’t believe it was said with a straight face. The government made the announcement. Then the government claims that the announcement strengthens the argument for government action. How circular is that? Senator Boxer said, “the Senate has a duty to act on climate change legislation” and that they have a responsibility “to protect and defend our people from this threat”.

And then the U.S. deputy special envoy for climate change laid it all out in plain sight by saying that although they don’t expect a “legally binding treaty” they will pursue a “political arrangement” that could lead to such a legally binding treaty in the future! This should scare the daylights out of you, dear reader. They aren’t even trying to hide their intent. They are so brazen and confident in the strength of their position and the weakness of our resolve that they no longer feel the need to sneak around.
