Global Warming Alarmism

TalkingPointsMemo.com recently published an article that issued this public appeal: "At what point do we jail or execute global warming deniers?" The article accused "right-wingers" of blocking fixes to the problem of supposed "climate change" and stated that when "end of the world"-type events start to take place, "how will we punish those responsible?" according to Marc Morano of ClimateDepot.com The author has since retracted his over the top rhetoric.

Now frankly, global warming is a scientific issue in all its various dimensions. The reason that there are deniers, an unfortunate term intentionally coined by the global warming alarmists to evoke the emotional response commonly expected for holocaust denial, is that there is an awful lot of bad science mixed up in the claim. We're talking here about scientific disagreements. A good many good scientists are not impressed by the claims and the data and in fact a good percentage of the so-called data is cooked and has been demonstrated to be cooked. Moreover, the recent data points to global cooling at least over the next decade or so. So what's the big deal and why the emotional rhetoric.
The answer is simple. It's not a scientific issue at all. What it is, is a straight play for political intrusive power to impose controls, expensive, crippling controls, on the free market. The emotional rhetoric says it all. You don't have to stir up passions when you have the data. It's a crock!
