'Global Warming' Laws Would Sink America's Society and Economy!
By Gordon Bishop (06/05/08)
The crazed ‘Global Warming’ crowd is scaring Americans with their “The sky is falling, the sky is falling” propaganda, which has nothing to do with sound, credible science.
In fact, most of America’s professional meteorologists who forecast our daily weather reports reject ‘Global Warming’ on the grounds that it is “junk science!”
Simply put, where’s the scientific data that ‘Global Warming’ can wipe out civilization and destroy our Planet Earth?
The Reality (meaning the ‘real world’) is that Mother Earth has experienced tens of thousands of ‘Global Warming’ cycles since our solar system and universe where formed some 5 billion years ago. That event is known as the “Big Bang!” theory. An old friend of mine, Dr. Arno Penzias, came up with the “Big Bang” theory while running the ATT/Bell Labs research in Holmdel, New Jersey (Exit 114 – Garden State Parkway). Penzias is the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Astrophysics in the mid-1970s.
‘Global Warming’ is caused by our sun’s depletion of helium. We need that heat to stay alive and produce the food for humans to consume.
When the helium is all burned out, we can say “Bye-Bye Earth, Bye-Bye our solar system and Bye-Bye human beings.”
It ‘ain’t gonna’ happen in our lifetime, or thousands of generations from now. So cool off, folks, and let Mother Nature play out her natural cycles of life and death.
Nothing is Forever, including the human race, which has been around only a few thousand years.
Yes, we the people, started surfacing some 20,000 years ago – that is, the homo sapien species: The Wise Man, also known as Homo Erectus (walking on two legs and not climbing and swinging around on trees like monies).
Before then, we were still evolving and developing as primates (if you believe in Darwin’s theory, which many biblical believers do not.).
The latest political propaganda coming out of Congress is legislation to combat global warming by reducing carbon dioxide in the air, which actually poses “extraordinary perils” for Americans and the economy, according to a new study from the Heritage Foundation, a fiscally conservative nonprofit organization.
The study, produced by Heritage’s Center for Data Analysis (CDA), forecasts severe consequences – including crushing energy costs, millions of jobs lost and falling household income – if Congress enacts the so-called Lieberman-Warner bill.
Sponsored by U.S. Senators Joseph Lieberman (an Independent representing Connecticut) and John Warner (a Republican from Virginia), and titled America’s Climate Security Act, the bill sets strict limits on emissions of greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, diesel and jet fuels) are the major sources of carbon dioxide. Humans also emit CO2 when they exhale, as do animals.
The fossil fuels targeted by what the report calls the “the most expensive environmental undertaking in history. Fossil fuels produce 85 percent of the energy powering the economy.
“The burden would be shouldered by the average America,” the study concludes. “The bill would have the same effect as a major new energy tax – only worse. Increases are set by forces beyond legislative control.”
Rising prices for electricity, natural gas and home heating oil would drive the typical consumer’s total annual energy bill higher and higher -- $938.63 more in 2030 than 2012 after adjusting for inflation. That’s about six weeks worth of groceries now for a typical family of four, according to U.S. Department Labor data.
When initial investment ends, annual employment losses after 2013 would exceed a half-million jobs – approaching one million in both 2016 and 2017 – as a result of what the analysts describe as “an extraordinary level of economic interference by the federal government.”
Factory jobs would decline sharply, reaching 2.3 million lost jobs in durable-goods manufacturing in 2029 as the changes forced the economy rapidly away from that sector.
Much-promised “green collar” jobs can’t make up for such losses, the report says.
The nation’s economic output – which today stands at $14 trillion – begins to decline sharply by 2018 because of higher energy prices. Cumulative losses to gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030, adjusted for inflation, run from $1.7 trillion o as high as $4.8 billion.
Hold on to your wallets, folks! Big Government is about become even BIGGER GOVERNMENT!
Once again, God Bless America and we battered mortals.
