The Cost Of The Scam Of Global Warming
Hey folks,
Yes I know there was a Republican debate last night. No I did not watch it. Yes I know you want to know what I thought. OK, from what I have seen, They all blamed Bush in an attempt to separate themselves from a President with the lowest approval ratings. They believe, and most likely are right, that they will get more press by doing so. Some of the lessor known long shots tried to stand out, and the front runners continue to be Giuliani, Romney, and McCain. Giuliani was asked AGAIN about his Abortion stance. Nothing really stood out. Nothing is really new.
You see, this is my point, it is way too soon to make a decision yet. I will let you know when something really does happen. When I decide who I’m certain really stands a chance, I assure you, you will be the first to know.
But what I do want to talk about today is this. According to AP-Climate change battle could spell new disasters By Gerard Wynn
Rich countries meeting in Germany this week will agree that they need to confront climate change, but unpleasant tradeoffs are already emerging.
Unless properly managed, a rush to reshape the world's economy to arrest climate change could end up trampling the lifestyles of the rich, the livelihoods of the rural poor, and the earth's most vulnerable habitats.
But remember folks, this is a good thing.
A tequila shortage is perhaps one of the least-expected results of planting lucrative, "climate-friendly" biofuels -- as Mexican farmers set ablaze their fields of cactus-like agave to make way for corn, a feedstock for ethanol. Biofuels are also blamed for raising food prices and destroying forests.
The result of misguided climate policies could be to undermine public support for action and discourage businesses from buying in.
You mean that people will start see this as the scam it is?
"Definitely there'll be tradeoffs between climate change and the local environment, and with energy security," said Fatih Birol, chief economist at the International Energy Agency (IEA), which advises rich countries.
"We are not in the luxury of being able to choose from hundreds of energy types."
Just how mankind plans to battle climate change is still sketchy, but one buzz word is "scaling up" -- for example by boosting research into and deployment of clean energy technologies like wind and nuclear power and biofuels.
As long as you do not put any of these things in Liberals back yards.
Urgency has been spurred by a series of U.N. climate reports this year confirming threats like desertification, droughts and rising seas and calling for action now to cut the long-term cost.
But evidence is emerging of the repercussions. British charity Christian Aid says Colombian rebel groups are forcing poor people off their land to grow lucrative palm oil for biodiesel, likening it to diamonds financing African wars.
"You could have blood biofuels in the same way as blood diamonds. It's a classic case of exploiting natural resources behind the veil of conflict," said Christian Aid climate policy analyst Andrew Pendleton.
"Unscrupulous private sector operators, rebel groups, are keen to make a fast buck."
I have been telling you folks, it’s all about money and power. The whole scam has never been about anything else. I keep seeing report after report, article after article about how the poor will suffer the most with Global Warming. Turns out, that the poor are suffering MORE now, in the name of FIGHTING Global Warming.
Biofuels already occupy an area equal to all of the arable land in France, says the IEA, and they are blamed for raising the cost of corn, sugar and other foods they compete with for land.
But negative repercussions are hard to prove.
Hard to prove? If corn products use to cost one dollar, in a country where a weekly salary is eight dollars a month, now it costs three? Or as this very article stated.
But evidence is emerging of the repercussions. British charity Christian Aid says Colombian rebel groups are forcing poor people off their land to grow lucrative palm oil for biodiesel, likening it to diamonds financing African wars.
Someone has a home and now they do not, it’s not hard to prove.
A hike in the price of tortillas, a Mexican staple, was blamed on biofuels and sparked riots, but may have more to do with the monopoly power of dominant tortilla producers, says Annie Dufey, research associate at Britain's International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED).
Such fears risk fatalism and favor the status quo, said Bert Metz, chair of a major U.N. report published last month on policy options.
"Problems of land ownership and poor people are there, let's do something about it, but not blame it on climate change," he said.
"There's no basis for supposing climate policies will create more problems than they solve, provided they're put in place wisely. I'd view that as another excuse for doing nothing."
They already ARE creating these problems you moron. They will create a lot more. All in the name of the Global Warming Religion.
The report did not weigh the cost and benefit of the recent consumer fad of boycotting air freight and travel to reduce carbon emissions, which could inadvertently hurt African exports and tourism.
"It's inequitable, tokenism," said the IIED's Bill Vorley of such consumer concerns.
Fresh fruit and vegetable exports from sub-Saharan Africa accounted for less than 0.1 percent of total British greenhouse gas emissions, but supported more than one million people, the IIED estimates.
It also doesn’t really matter. It just does because some idiotic and ignorant scientists CLAIMS it does. Now here is something I have been looking into a bit more lately. Mainly because of the outrageous electric bills I have gotten. When I asked why they are so high, I actually had someone from the local and ONLY power company here tell me, that’s just the way it is. WRONG answer to give me.
In an interview with Reuters, Clemens Betzel, the president of Cardiff-based solar power company G24 Innovations, put on a table a bendy, solar power generator the size of a sheet of paper.
It produces enough power to run a mobile phone or light bulb, but there's plenty of demand for that, he said.
"People sit on a street corner selling power from a car battery. They're paying $60 to a $100 a year for kerosene to light their home," said Betzel, who said he could market his product for $20.
"We're going into Africa, India, China."
There is some solar companies that will sell you the total package. You can be energy self sufficient completely off the grid. The technology is there, and improving at an unbelievable rate. Imagine that, a completely renewable endless supply of imaginable power. The Sun. Why do we not spend more time and money looking into this?
Yes folks, the Gwarians out there are now trying to find a way to spin this to say they are NOT to blame for hurting poor people. Meanwhile, they want to keep telling you, you need to pay them for your sins. They do not have to change. YOU do. I keep telling you, this is nothing but a scam. There is going to come a time when you are going to have to make up your mind. Which do you believe?
