Disaster du Jour

Global warming is just the latest disaster hoax that the liberals have pulled on the world. Remember the hole in the ozone? Before that there was acid rain, and before that there was the coming ice age that would freeze us all to death. Of course, after forcing billions and even trillions to be wasted fighting these phantoms there is never any admission that they were wrong. They just move on to the next pending disaster, which will of course be caused by (1) western society, (2) the use of fossil fuels, and (3) big business. The solution will of course be found in (1) new taxes on fossil fuels, (2) new taxes on business, (3) new taxes on western civilization. Each time it's the same. The world is going to be destroyed, they are sure, and if they are wrong, what is the harm? What did it hurt spending 4.5 trillion to protect the ozone layer ? (The cost of replacing freon with the less effective pureon.) No one ever asks what might have been accomplished had that money been spent on something productive. What advances in medical science might that investment have produced? To cure global warming, estimates now run as high as $45 trillion, a ten fold increase from the last imaginary disaster and a sum that is truly staggering. What could we as a society achieve if we spent that money on science, energy, or medicine ? The true cost of this environmental stupidity is mind boggling. Remember that the next time they ask 'what is the harm if we are wrong?'
