Global Warming is the Most Expensive and Widespread Con Job in the History of the World

By Thomas Lifson

Global warming hysterics at the BBC warned us in 2007 that by summer 2013, the Arctic would be ice-free. As with so many other doomsday predictions by warmists, the results turn out to be quite the opposite. The UK Daily Mail reports:
A chilly Arctic summer has left 533,000 more square miles of ocean covered with ice than at the same time last year - anincrease of 29 per cent. (snip)
...days before the annual autumn re-freeze is due to begin, an unbroken ice sheet more than half the size of Europe already stretches from the Canadian islands to Russia's northern shores.
The Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific has remained blocked by pack-ice all year. More than 20 yachts that had planned to sail it have been left ice-bound and a cruise ship attempting the route was forced to turn back.
Some eminent scientists now believe the world is heading for a period of cooling that will not end until the middle of this century - a process that would expose computer forecasts of imminent catastrophic warming as dangerously misleading.[...]
Global warming is the most expensive and widespread con job in the history of the world. There must be a terrible reckoning for the "scientists" and profiteers who have foisted this crackpot atrocity on the world.

  1. Well, outside of the global con of the democratic Nation-State, but yes it's definitely up there.

    1. I think that's as much an unfortunate product of human weakness as it is a flat out con. Similar to religion.

  2. That just proves the efforts to combat global warming are wildly successful.

  3. These days it is called "Global Climate Change" because they recognized that 1) temperatures weren't increasing and 2) the more specific they are about the problem the more likely they will be called out as thieves, cheats, and liars.

    It's funny: for a group that espouses evolution and natural selection at an abstract level they are dead set against recognizing any sort of "natural" change to the environment in the real world.

    1. Well, if you start asking the members of that same group about evolutionary theory you soon realize that they don't understand it at all... they BELIEVE in it.

      Scientism is the official religion of the Left. Communism is its eschatology.

  4. Both Macro and Micro climates change and have always changed. Its now that the con men are trying to fleece us in into believing that they can prevent change.

  5. God, how this "climate change" bullshit pisses me off. It's so transparently stupid, yet all the "smart" people get in your face when you point that out.

    1. They're not as smart as they think they are. They have to pretend they are since they aren't.

  6. Who got all the money? Where are the knaves who helped create this non crisis? The professional worry warts will reform and come with a fresh campaign of hysteria. Each time shaking more dollars from government idiots and fools who buy into it.

  7. Warming, cooling, staying the same, it doesn't matter. It's all the fault of greedy, exploitative capitalists.

  8. It's the cow farts, I tell you. Everybody go have a burger tomorrow - problem solved...

  9. You should check out Chasing Ice, its on Netflix. Recent documentary with live footage of icecaps melting. There is also strong proof of erosion and sea waters rising in some parts. You can make the decision for yourself from there.
