Socialist “Green New Deal” Laughably Ridiculous

We’re told global warming gives us only 5, 10, 12 more years (depending on the doomsayer) before the planet is irretrievably doomed. “Therefore, act now!” alarmists demand. Of course, they’ve been saying the same thing for 10, 20, 25 years. 

It’s become impossible to spoof these people… 

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s socialist Green Deal is so laughably ridiculous even the leftist leadership of her own Democratic Party is running from it. Amid the backlash, she’s apparently removed it from her own web page. For now. 

Not long ago advancing the idea that every building in the nation must be retrofitted to meet entirely arbitrary standards to protect against the entirely un-dangerous, pretend threat of global warming would have been a non-starter, even among the looniest of the loony left. Too say nothing of abolishing all airline flights, getting rid of cows that fart and eliminating every vehicle with internal combustion engines in 10 years, as AOC proposes. 

Previously these would have been the things of satire, or of darkest fiction. But so too would have been the notion a man can be a woman simply by declaring it to be so, or that a baby can legally be murdered after birth if her mother didn’t want to be bothered to raise the child. We’ve come a long way, baby. 

Let’s be clear. The only way such schemes can be implemented is by force. At the point of a gun, or at least by the threat of punishment, physical, fiscal or otherwise.  

The socialistic redistribution of wealth is what really is behind the global warming scare. The trouble is, people refuse to give their money to other people simply because the others’ want it. That’s why every socialist state enforces its diktats at gunpoint. 

Being exposed as absurd, as AOC has been, won’t stop socialist, redistributionist authoritarians. They intend for you to submit to government control, and to pay for the indignity. 

That’s despotism. But it’s delivered with the pretense that it’s for your own good, even the greater good. And always with urgency, akin to late-night TV commercials’ hard sell: “Act now!” The implication being that the government will take care of everything. 

“…if you depend on the government, you are disabled from resisting it,” said Ralph Waldo Emerson long before the first Marxist government came to power.  

Prescient, no?

Receive "Human Caused Global Warming: The Biggest Deception in History" Free in February!

I’ve known Dr. Tim Ball, author of Human Caused Global Warming: The Biggest Deception in History, for about a decade now, and he’s one of my heroes. He’s not only brilliant—an outstanding climate scientist—but also courageous and self-sacrificing.
 
Tim was among the first Canadians ever to earn a Ph.D. in climatology, and his long and distinguished career in research and teaching equip him to write one of the most stunning, compelling, riveting critiques of global warming alarmism ever done. Human Caused Global Warming: The Biggest Deception in History takes apart the procedures of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and exposes exactly how it went from a fairly (but not exclusively) scientific endeavor to an almost entirely political endeavor, with cooperative climate scientists festooned on it like ornaments on a Christmas tree: adding color and variety but constituting no part of the substance of the tree itself.
 
Anyone who has thought the IPCC was really the world’s leading scientific authority on climate change and then reads this book should come to realize that the IPCC is about as seriously unscientific as can be imagined. It’s driven by the globalist, Green political agendas of the powerful national and regional governments that dominate it, especially the European Union. Tim Ball’s book makes this crystal clear.
 
It also provides convincing empirical evidence that the human contribution to global warming—real as it almost certainly is—is both very small on the one hand and overall benign on the other.
 
This is the kind of book you can readily share with friends. It’s easy to read, though scientifically solid. Once you’ve finished reading your copy, we hope you’ll pass it on to a local school teacher—because teachers aren’t getting this side of the story from their routine sources in the media and (for those few who take the initiative to search for it) technical journals, nearly all of which have sold out to climate alarmism.
 
So, for the month of February, as our way of saying “Thank you!” for your tax-deductible gift of any size, we’ll send you a free copy of Dr. Ball’s Human Caused Global Warming: The Biggest Deception in History.
