link UN calls for higher taxes to combat climate warning.
In the classic 1976 horror/suspense teen movie Carrie, an otherwise improbable story is made even more ludicrous when at the end, a hand reaches out from the grave and grasps at the heroine, just when everyone thought the story was over.
The slight ebb in the stupidity which is global warming seems to be making a zombie like comeback a la Carrie. The U.N. which itself is a parasitic leech on nations is calling for another 100 billion dollars or so of taxes in order to fund the fairy tale. While a hundred billion dollars may not be as much as a year ago before the devaluation of the dollar, it’s still a lot of hooch to throw down the bottomless pit of global warming initiatives. If we spent that towards let’s say, global hunger, I might buy it.
It’s not good enough that the west is abstaining from personal washing, re-using shopping bags, driving electric skateboard-like deathtraps and recycling eggshells. Only through imposition of taxes can the imminent destruction of earth be avoided. More research is needed to find the root causes and find ‘sustainable solutions’. In point of fact, they will determine that since man (especially western man) is the root cause of warming, they must be eliminated or reduced. They have to eliminate man to save man. Hmmm. More than enough evidence has emerged which pushes back at the credibility of the doomsday claims of the movement that sane rational people should at least be skeptical of the ongoing bleating.
My suspicions are that the movement is being funded by the travel and hospitality industries which have much to gain from ongoing conferences in exotic locales. If someone decided to tally up the benefits to airlines, taxis, limos, hotels and bars which service this industry, I”m sure we’d understand the need to keep the debate alive. To say nothing of the millions of chickens sacrificed as dinner for these earnest conventioneers. Next thing you know, someone will link the decline of the chicken population to global warming. That would be hard to argue. Naturally, that would be a government funded study. Please let the Zombie die already.
