Global Warm-mongering continued

If you recall yesterday’s exciting episode, Lex exposed Meg Bostrom – a little TSA lingo there – as a fool for her idea that us fly over rubes are just too stupid and busy to understand all the complex science involved with global warming,


Lex noted that the problem with the science wasn’t its complexity but rather the manufactured nature of the science. That fact, combined with the hypocritical knuckleheads that the warm-mongers have chosen to represent and speak for their cause, make it hard for anyone with brain not question their ideas.

Well Ms. Meg has a few other gems stashed in her column. Of the need for “more science,” Ms Meg writes, “The scientist hope, not unreasonably, to bring more attention to the climate change crisis.” Holey carbon footprint Meg, you gotta be kidding. More attention? As if the global warm-mongers haven’t been throwing their BS science of every kind into our faces for the last 40 years, no wait the first 10 years was a global cooling scare, make that 30 years. These chumps have been telling us the end is near since Lex was in 6th grade. We have a know nothing debunked peace prize winner (AlGore not the debunked peace prize winning P-BO) leading the charge with his favorite mantra, “The debate is over.” Well no Al, just because you’re too stupid to debate doesn’t mean the debate is over.

Sure Meg the OLNY thing missing from the warm-mongers effort is bringing it to the attention of the idiot Americans who live 40 miles inland of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. I’d say it’s the exact opposite. There’s been too much commotion over this crap. It’s like going to a NASCAR race. It is very loud to start with, but then you get your ear protection adjusted and then just get used to the din. After three and half hours, you don’t even notice it. It’s only when the roar is completely gone, you think, damn, that was loud. We quite frankly have become used to people who have no business doing so hectoring us on what we drive, what eat, and where we sleep. So used to it in fact that pay no attention to them. It’s like the dish washer running in the kitchen. It’s only really noticed when it stops running.

Then in an insane three four paragraphs to wrap up Meg swears that there is a long list of things that both Republican and Demo-Dopes can agree on to save the planet.

STOP! Compile a short list in you mind of what you think Ms. Meg might be talking about. Got it? OK, continue.

1. Mandating better fuel efficiency. Huh? We haven’t done that yet. CAFE standards Meg? Is really that easy? Why didn’t we just mandate 60mpg…no make it 150mpg… 30 years ago and the problem would be solved? Short of driving go-carts incased by PVC pipe and cellophane, car manufactures have done a pretty good job getting fuel efficiency up Meg and it has only cost consumers probably about $10,000 per car. And please do tell Meg what is plan for the coal burning cars (Rush Limbaugh’s term for electric cars) when their batteries have no more life? What self inflicted enviro disaster awaits?

2. Increase federal funding for clean energy research. Two things, if it is going to be a profitable adventure why would government need to get involved? Wouldn’t greedy private sector guys be all over it? I’ve said it before, if T. Boone wants to build a windmill farm and sell electricity, fine go for it T. Boone, but the government shouldn’t be subsidizing him. Two, do we really think the people who brought us the TSA are the ones who will be responsible for the next big breakthrough energy savings?

3. Spend more on mass transit. I rode mass transit. It doesn’t work because it’s too expensive, too unpredictable and too uncomfortable. No doubt Meg would make it look reasonable by taxing the b-jeezus out of private transit. We’d also be at the mercy of some government union thugs who would go on strike at Christmas time demanding time and half for anything over their normal 22 hour work week; quadruple over time on Sat, Sun, holy days of obligation, Mon nights during the NFL season, Thrus nights during the college season and bonuses for every two days without an accident, double bonus for showing up on time for week in a row. I’ll consider mass transit right after AlGore and Tom flathead Freidman start riding the bus to and from work.

4. Raising efficiency standards for homes and other buildings. Hmmm. Sound a lot like No. 1. But hey when you compiling a "long list" of things we can all agree on, why not use a sub-set of one to make the list even longer?

5. Requiring utilities to produce more energy from renewable sources. Hmmm sound vaguely like a sub-set of No.2. But ok fine, we’ll build 3 nuclear power plants a year for the next 15 years. Finally we can agree on something.

So how did your list compare?  This all the same old pap.  It is predictable as the sun (the real cause of any warming trend we are experiencing) rising up in the east.  What is missing here class? Not one damn incentive for the private sector to solve this problem. It’s government regulation, funding and mandates. Meg the government cannot balance its own books it is not going to find the solution for global warm-mongering, the BSC bowl situation, steroids in sports or end the search for a good nickel cigar.

But if we created the right business climate (pun intended), the private sector would.
