Yes, Virginia, There is a Climate Conspiracy

Published by swansont on November 30, 2009 03:00 am under Environment, Politics

Just not the one you might think.

Climate change cover-up? You better believe it

There is, in fact, a climate conspiracy. It just happens to be one launched by the fossil fuel industry to obscure the truth about climate change and delay any action. And this release of emails right before the Copenhagen conference is just another salvo—and a highly effective one—in that public relations battle, redolent with the scent of the same flaks and hacks who brought you “smoking isn’t dangerous.”

    This kind of cr@p ticks me off. We’re like the goblins in the Rainbow Magic children’s series. We can’t accomplish anything because we’re always bickering. I blame the climate scientists as much as the nutjobs like Inhofe. They’ve done such a poor job educating the public that they’ve left themselves open to criticism.

    Official Truth, the Carbon Tax on Everything, Carbon Credit indulgences… follow the money. But, but, but, the consensus!

    Vote with the stupid – how can so many people be wrong?
    Vote with the corrupt – how can so many privileged people be wrong!
    THE SKY IS FALLING! Shore it up with piles of cash.
