The Green Tsunami: A Tidal Wave of Eco-Babble Drowning Us All Read Free Page B

had a solution. They can purchase and
import beet sugar stalks directly from Brazil! Did you get that?
In order to produce the “new” ethanol for their new grade of gasoline, California will redistribute our wealth to our neighbors in Brazil
so we can buy beet sugar stalks and clean up those pesky greenhouse
gases and solve the problem of “Global Warming”. It is indeed interesting that as state and federal bureaucrats dried up California’s lush
farmlands by diverting water to save a tiny fish, the “Delta smelt”(that,
according to radical environmentalists, was near extinction), they have
taken away the livelihood of local farmers and workers who could have
provided the very beet sugar our state is now outsourcing to Brazil.
As our dots connect, you must admit, they make perfect nonsense .
Consider President Barack Obama’s Economic Stimulus package
introduced almost 40 years after the first Earth Day. It underwrote
dozens of those pipe-dream, green-energy and supposedly greenjob-producing projects that many, after a few short years, have gone
bankrupt.
We are now left to wonder, in a world supposedly so sophisticated
and well informed by the incredible advances in information technology, how could all of this happen? How could the world fall for
a litany of nonsensical, environmental about-to-happen catastrophes?
How could we be convinced that some nifty computer projections
could somehow accurately forecast the weather for the next hundred
years? How could we be convinced to dramatically change the way we
live, all in the name of saving the planet? How could a seemingly gullible international media simply ignore scientific analysis that says any
theory must be reproduced in a laboratory under controlled conditions before we can accept it as being true?
Like me, you probably watch the local weather forecast on the
nightly news. Often, the weather personality is the comic relief
between the news and sports as he or she explains, in front of their
“green board”, those confusing high and low pressure systems that
will dominate our local weather patterns for the next 5 or 7 days. We
are warned of a coming storm, put on “Storm Alert” and told to fill
the sand bags, stock up on water and buy extra batteries. Then the
storm limps through, nothing much happens and the embarrassed
weather forecaster tries to explain the storm simply did not materialize
as predicted.
Now, compare that scenario to the crazy world of environmentalism. We are told by a cadre of supposedly world-class scientists,
relying on nothing but ‘garbage in-garbage out’ computer models,
they can predict what the weather will be like not only in our local
communities, but in the entire universe for the next 90 years! Weather
forecasters can’t accurately predict a storm for tomorrow, but environmental science can predict weather from 2012 to 2099?
The mainstream media bought into the environmental agenda
years ago and they have successfully convinced a gullible public that
“the science is settled”. Any scientist worthy of his white lab coat
and “pocket protector” will tell you, “The science is never settled.”
Scientific theory is constantly scrutinized by even some of the theories
we accepted long ago as true. One great example is Einstein’s Theory
of Relativity. His theory was tested and eventually corrected because it
contained a bit of faulty math.
Domestically, the new environmental “alarmism” began with
President Nixon’s Clean Air Act of 1972. From this legislation,
a monstrous new federal bureaucracy was created known as the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Among many environmentally driven projects, the agency created a list of “Endangered Species”
that were threatened with extinction if not protected by law.
The list expanded greatly from the 1970s when saving the wolves
and whales was our foremost concern. When the “Snail Darter” was
added to the list, many
