The Scam That is Global Warming and How it’s Making People Rich (L-O-N-G)

You’re aware of the recent scandal in the news over so-called “prosperity preachers”, their non-profit tax status, and the exorbitant lifestyles they lead, right? Well, pretty much the same thing is about to unfold in the global warming industry—and yes, it is an industry. You may just not know it yet.

Instead of Sunday morning sermons and live appearances from the likes of Creflo Dollar and his ilk, we have jet-setters Al Gore, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Richard Branson flying around the world (and yes, I do mean flying in pollution-spewing jets) making appearances to try to convince us that there is this little matter of global warming that’s going to wreck the planet very soon, and we all should eagerly jump on the bandwagon called “green.”.

Then we have the Weather Channel people fanning the flames of panic by throwing in dire predictions between serious broadcasts of real weather forecasts for your area, but they’re not telling you that their accreditation and funding depends on their ratings and how well they cheerlead the issue. Surprise! Instilling fear and panic nightly has paid off for them.

Other people, people more sensible in my opinion, have told us to do nothing, because nothing can be done—nothing SHOULD be done. This small, slow rise in global temperatures is a normal phenomenon that’s never been experienced or recorded by man, so there are no prior records of how everything turned out in the end. Surprise! Greenhouse gases are normal, and man is not the only emitter of them--he’s not even the largest emitter.

Since we have no proof of how things turned out in the end, we’re expected to believe in the “ones who know best” about global warming, even though what they know may be pure made-up fiction. While we’re wallowing about within this fiction, we’re being told to do some pretty drastic stuff to get off oil, get off plastics, get off industry as a whole, and get off capitalism and consumerism. We’re supposed to just obey and hand over our money, and we’ll be safe.

“Hand over our money to whom, and for what?” I ask. Well, we’re supposed to buy solar panels, windmills, “green” stuff made from other stuff, funny cars that look like over-sized Fisher-Price products for giant four-year-olds, industrial pollution credits that make us feel better about polluting but don’t actually do anything to stop it, recycled stuff whether or not it’s really recycled, fair-trade and free-trade items even though we can’t really verify if they’re free- or fair-trade, and worst of all, we’re supposed to buy the message. In reality, lots of people are getting rich of this scam—this is what the invented problem was designed to do. It’s the next big idea.

Surprise! General Electric is busy cornering the market on all those pollution tax credits, while at the same time unleashing armies of lobbyists onto Capitol Hill—all in the name of pressuring Congress to enact a pollution tax so they can clean up (money-wise) without lifting a finger. This would also enable them to pollute to their heart’s content while suffering absolutely no repercussions. So much for the next big idea!

Have you noticed that all the places in the U.S. that are supposed to suffer from future coastal flooding (according to Al Gore’s maps) are where celebrities live, like Florida and California? How come these celebrities haven’t moved away if their property is going to be in imminent danger? It makes you wonder.

The planet will not slow down or stop its current path, and the climate has been changing back and forth for several millennia WITHOUT the existence of man, his toys, or his new green ones. Our internal planetary magnetic field has shifted from north to south, and with it goes the ice and snow, the cold, and some species—we’ve been about 350 years overdue for this to happen, and now it’s finally happened. All the green things in the world aren’t gong to make a dent in this fact, or its consequences. What gives anyone the right to assume that the weather we had for the last 50 years or so is the weather we’re supposed to have for all eternity?

Surprise! Neither the media nor the green police are telling you that the South Pole is thickening and growing, while the North Pole is shrinking and receding. Nor will you hear that other planets are experiencing their own global warming where man does not live, so this issue is far from being a man-made one.

In the meantime, Al Gore, Ed Begley Jr., and anybody with a solar panel factory, windmill manufacturing plant, car factory, and anybody with anything else that can be marketed as “green” to us will be getting filthy rich off our artificially-induced fear and loathing. Our economy’s going down the toilet, and going green is supposed to be the magic bullet to stop it…yeah, right.

The U.N. recently said that rich countries (namely us) should pony up about $84 billion by 2015 to help poor countries switch to cleaner energy sources to fight the effects of global warming. Our entire national budget for this year is only around $2.5 trillion—where are we supposed to get excess money as a nation when we’re borrowing to survive as it is? Besides, these countries were poor and helpless in the BEST of times, so how could it get any worse for them when this imaginary global warming problem comes to their country? It wouldn’t—it would be more of the same, and that’s what the U.N. doesn’t want you to know. This is just a massive wealth redistribution scam and nothing more.

Surprise! The U.N. want rich countries to pay for nuke plants to be built where people burn dung and wood for cooking, and have no electricity in the first place. Would this beg consumption of a commodity they already can’t afford, or what? And guess who would get the contracts for building these plants…maybe the illustrious Halliburton, or some European equivalent? Maybe Russia—yeah, like THAT would go well!

Save your money and yourself by conserving instead of buying into the scam. This way, the only one to profit from your efforts is you. Instead of being told what to do or how to do it to stave off this so-called coming calamity, do your homework and look for payback time. The result will usually be an incredibly long payback time for these “salvation items” so they won’t really save anything (except maybe a starving actor or has-been politician). This includes so-called “green funds” or “socially-conscious” investing—these investments make more money for the administrators than you, judging by the expenses vs. the returns.

Ask yourself how much it would cost to make yourself feel better about this scam/issue—would it make you sleep better at night knowing you participated in a global scam of Nigerian spam letter proportions, or would simple conservation be enough for you? A lot of people are trying to capitalize on your consumption, and they’re trying to stimulate and steer that consumption as well—don’t be a victim. If you want to reduce your oil consumption, go ahead, but REDUCE instead of replacing one gas-burner with another (and both took oil to make, BTW). True reducing means driving less, not simply buying a special car for the purpose of changing one fuel for another (until there is a real, long-term solution). Reducing your consumption of EVERYTHING is the answer, not buying new stuff for the sake of feeling good and showing off your ego emissions to the neighbors.

This whole green thing is an induced epidemic, just like fashion. Green-ness is now supposedly next to godliness, and surprise! Green is the new black. In time, the truth will come out, and you’ll come to regret the purchases you made in the name of saving something. By then, the hawkers of “green” will already have laughed all the way to the bank while you’re stuck trying to sell a house covered with solar panels (complete with system mechanics a buyer wouldn’t understand, or even want to deal with, especially when something goes wrong) a windmill in the back yard (with its own issues and hazards, especially in hurricane or tornado country), or even a car that burns a fuel not available outside your region.

Where are the consumer education programs for these alternative energy systems, I ask? They don’t exist because you’d be expected to call on a specialized solar or windmill servicing company. We’re not taught how to buy, repair, or maintain them anywhere, and this means another money-maker for anyone but you, unless schools start offering repair and maintenance courses of some sort. Are you prepared to crawl around on your roof, or climb up a 100-ft. high (or higher) pole to service your new alternative energy source?

The scale of which we’d need to supply adequate household power is NOT consumer-friendly—alternative energy sources are best collected in an industrial setting. In other words, utility companies and manufacturers are the ones who need to retrofit, not us. We need to stick to CF light bulbs, low-flow toilets and shower heads, energy-saving appliances, and plug-pulling, and not focusing on our own individual power grids.

Wanting to get independent is one thing, and a good thing; following an ill-conceived trend/plan for economic and personal devastation is ludicrous at best. Save the planet by conserving and teaching your children to do the same. Less is more once again.
