Fear of future climate rubs all of our collective noses in society’s lack of will to discriminate between good and bad of today. It deprives us of the opportunity to reward excellence and personal achievement and draw a praiseworthy distinction between honor-earned through personal dedication and sacrifice versus drawing a needed lesson about a future-denied resulting from self-destruction and self-defeating nihilism.
If you don’t believe global warming alarmism is destroying Western civilization then answer six questions (see, Paul Driessen, et al., Cause for alarm, 23-May-10). They are as follows:
■Why do scientists and news stories blame everything on global warming?
■Why is warming always framed as bad news?
■Why does so much ‘research’ claim a warmer planet ‘may’ lead to more diarrhea, acne and childhood insomnia, more juvenile delinquency, war, violent crime and prostitution, death of the Loch Ness Monster – and even more Mongolian cows dying from cold weather?
■Why is it a bad thing that more CO2 helps plants tolerate droughts better and re-vegetate deserts?
■Why do ‘error corrections’ always seem to result in more warming than originally predicted, instead of less?
■And why do taxpayers have to shell out Big Bucks on this stuff?
