[Townhall] The end is near, we’re all going to die. Unless, that is, we empower government to control more of the economy and our lives. It’s a standard trick of the left ‐ predict doom and gloom in the future in an attempt to scare the Hell out of people while promising to avoid it if we let them get their way. While this could apply to nearly anything Democrats are pushing on any given day, this week it’s about global cooling. I mean, global warming. Er, scratch that, climate change...for now, at least.The government issued another climate report on Friday, as required by law, and it is full of...well, let’s just call it hyperventilating about how we’re destroying the planet. The report "is based on more than 1,000 previous research studies," according to the Associated Press. That means two things ‐ it’s based on the work of others, mainly people whose job is dependent on perpetuating the climate change myth, and it’s not new. But hey, it’s on official letterhead this time, so "STOP THE PRESSES," or something.
The problem with these sorts of "studies" is the main conclusion is already made before the actual work begins. These academics aren’t studying to see if the changing climate is caused by man or nature, it’s simply accepted as faith that it’s man’s fault. So these studies are done to reinforce preconceived notions and justify jobs. These academics who conduct them have to justify their jobs and bring in grant money, government grant money; our money.
Yet this is nothing new. Liberals have been pushing the "we’re all going to die because we’re destroying the planet" idea for decades. Long before the famous "global cooling" episode in the 1970s, they were pushing this narrative for control.
