Global Warming is a non-event, a manufactured crisis and a total scam.—John ColemanJohn Coleman is an American meteorologist and the founder of The Weather Channel.
According to Coleman Global warming ;
“[I]s the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create in allusion of rapid global warming.Nonetheless the discussion regarding Global Warming is over according to Al Gore. Al Gore has won an Oscar and the Nobel Bell Peace Price for his work regarding Global warming. According to Coleman the former Vice President’s work and awards are bogus!
Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.
There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismissal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.
The real story behind Global warming is that of Fascist repression of human behavior in the name of science and a plan to implement world-wide taxation represented as a Carbon tax.
Make no mistake, Global Warming is about money and control not saving the planet as Global Warming ideologues represent. Global Warming is about radical environmental groups, like Greenpeace, pushing global warming hysteria and imposing Global Warming World wide taxes.
Duke Energy, a leading U.S. electricity and gas utility, announced this week its support for a global warming tax — essentially a consumption tax on consumers of gasoline, oil, natural gas and coal. The tax is intended to reduce energy use and resulting emissions of greenhouse gases.Thus another example of special and/or corporate interest replacing the will and interest of the people which the America constitution was written to establish and protect.
Duke calls it a “carbon tax,” but we might call it the “Greenpeace tax” in honor of the various radical environmental groups, like Greenpeace, pushing global warming hysteria and supporting such a tax. But we could also call it the “corporate appeasement tax” in honor of businesses like Duke Energy that are stumbling over themselves to curry favor with the Greens.
Not accepting the verdict of the political process, the activists are moving to implement the Kyoto Protocol on a corporation-by-corporation basis, thus circumventing our democratic process.Many of you may have noticed NBC’s recent efforts to introduce a “green” theme into their programming. Bob Costas and his team of football experts plus Keith Obermann sat in a dark “lights out” NBC studio demonstrating their total commitment to the global warming hysteria created by “warm earthers.” Hysteria that is based on fraudulent scientific claims.
Reinforcing the thought that football and any mention of football should be immediately taken from the NBC broadcast company. Why? NBC chose to mix bogus politically correct propaganda with such an American iconic tradition as football, that's why!
Further, NBC has allowed itself to be used by radical special interest to manipulate its viewers. Preparing those viewers to conform to the demands of the coming forced Global Warming taxation scheme by the radical “warm earthers.”
Are you ready for some more Fascist government control of your life?
You are absolutely correct! Al Gore is stupid--did you see his repulsive interview with Meredeith Viera a few days back? I join you in the fight against this B.S.
ReplyDeleteIt should interest you to know that there have been GREEN People in other historical contexts. The nost famous example was a certain government who wanted to put a Hydroelectric Dam across the Straits of Gibralter. The grand design was to cause the Mediterranean Sea to drop 500 feet within the next couple of centuries. This project was scheduled for after the late 1940s. While the Government that was planning this Grand Feat of Engineering had possession of Morroco as late as 1944, and while said government's alliance with Spain was constantanly deteriating since 194a, this country came unbelievably close to accomplishing this feat, the Nation of NAZI GERMANY.
ReplyDeleteAs to the Real Environmental Impacts, that is subject to debate. However, modern advocates would call it an "Ecological Calmity".
Have you tried "Select a Candidate" yet. [http://www.wqad.com/Global/link.asp?L=259460 ]. My candidates were Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter. Who did you get?
ReplyDeleteInstead of a Carbon tax, let's work for the FairTax! It's designed to get gov'ts hands OUT of our pockets, while we pay them on the same basis that America's working families are paid - when, and because, something is sold!
ReplyDeleteWhile many who are invested in the current income tax system seek to demagog the well-researched FairTax plan, FairTax's theoretical underpinnings have been professionally reviewed, and its acceptance in the professional / academic community continues to grow.
Renown economist Laurence Kotlikoff believes that failure to enact the FairTax - choosing instead to try to "flatten" what he deems to be a non-flattenable income tax system - will eventuate into an irrevocable economic meltdown, because of the hidden aspects of the current system that make political accountability impossible. Tom Frey, of the DiVinci Institute, foresees the coming collapse of the income tax system.
Here is why the FairTax MUST replace the income tax. It's:
• SIMPLE, easy to understand
• EFFICIENT, inexpensive to comply with and doesn't cause less-than-optimal business decisions for tax minimization purposes
• FAIR, loophole free and everyone pays their share
• LOW TAX RATE, achieved by broad base with no exclusions
• PREDICTABLE, doesn't change, so financial planning is possible
• UNINTRUSIVE, doesn't intrude into our personal affairs or limit our liberty
• VISIBLE, not hidden from the public in tax-inflated prices or otherwise
• PRODUCTIVE, rewards, rather than penalizes, work and productivity
Its benefits are as follows:
For INDIVIDUALS:
• No more tax on income - make as much as you wish
• You receive your full paycheck - no more deductions
• You pay the tax when you buy "at retail" - not "used"
• No more double taxation (e.g. like on current Capital Gains)
• Reduction of "pre-FairTaxed" retail prices by 20%-30%
• Adding back 29.9% FairTax maintains current price levels
• FairTax would constitute 23% portion of new prices
• Every household receives a monthly check, or "pre-bate"
• "Prebate" is "advance payback" for taxes payable on monthly consumption to poverty level
• FairTax's "prebate" ensures progressivity, poverty protection
• Finally, citizens are knowledgeable of what their tax IS
• Elimination of "parasitic" Income Tax industry
• NO MORE IRS. NO MORE FILING OF TAX RETURNS by individuals
• Those possessing illicit forms of income will ALSO pay the FairTax
• Households have more disposable income to purchase goods
• Savings is bolstered with reduction of interest rates
For BUSINESSES:
• Corporate income and payroll taxes revoked under FairTax
• Business compensated for collecting tax at "cash register"
• No more tax-related lawyers, lobbyists on company payrolls
• No more embedded (hidden) income/payroll taxes in prices
• Reduced costs. Competition - not tax policy - drives prices
• Off-shore "tax haven" headquarters can now return to U.S
• No more "favors" from politicians at expense of taxpayers
• Resources go to R&D and study of competition - not taxes
• Marketplace distortions eliminated for fair competition
• US exports increase their share of foreign markets
For the COUNTRY:
• 7% - 13% economic growth projected in the first year of the FairTax
• Jobs return to the U.S.
• Foreign corporations "set up shop" in the U.S.
• Tax system trends are corrected to "enlarge the pie"
• Larger economic "pie," means thinner tax rate "slices"
• Initial 23% portion of price is pressured downward as "pie" increases
• No more "closed door" tax deals by politicians and business
• FairTax sets new global standard. Other countries will follow
The income tax system must ultimately fail, if for no other reason than that Washington politicians cannot seem to wean themselves from being "sucked down the spending hole" while seeking ways to hide the magnitude of taxation from those who ultimately pay for all of it - every working American. It's well past time to scrap the tax code and pay for government the way that America's working men and women are paid - when something is sold.
