Global Warming

“Global Warming”, which is now frequently called “Climate Change” to account for the recent decline in global temperatures, has come to be a hotly contested issue. Are there valid concerns that we should consider, or is “Global Warming” just the latest manufactured crisis to cash in on the public’s fears and generate new support for global governance, global carbon taxes and other oppressive policies?

Just like many of his supporters, Ron Paul took a long, hard look at the issue, and after careful consideration, and even before the release of the Climategate emails in late 2009, he identified the artificial panic around “Global Warming” as an elaborate hoax:

“The greatest hoax I think that has been around for many, many years if not hundreds of years has been this hoax on [...] global warming.” – Ron Paul on Fox Business, Nov. 4, 2009

“[The Copenhagen treaty on climate change] can’t help the economy. It has to hurt the economy and it can’t possibly help the environment because they’re totally off track on that. It might turn out to be one of the biggest hoaxes of all history, this whole global warming terrorism that they’ve been using, but we’ll have to just wait and see, but it cannot be helpful. It’s going to hurt everybody.” – Ron Paul on the Alex Jones Show, Nov. 5, 2009

On November 20, 2008 Ron Paul said in a New York Times / Freakonomics interview:

“I try to look at global warming the same way I look at all other serious issues: as objectively and open-minded as possible. There is clear evidence that the temperatures in some parts of the globe are rising, but temperatures are cooling in other parts. The average surface temperature had risen for several decades, but it fell back substantially in the past few years.

Clearly there is something afoot. The question is: Is the upward fluctuation in temperature man-made or part of a natural phenomenon. Geological records indicate that in the 12th century, Earth experienced a warming period during which Greenland was literally green and served as rich farmland for Nordic peoples. There was then a mini ice age, the polar ice caps grew, and the once-thriving population of Greenland was virtually wiped out.

It is clear that the earth experiences natural cycles in temperature. However, science shows that human activity probably does play a role in stimulating the current fluctuations.

The question is: how much? Rather than taking a “sky is falling” approach, I think there are common-sense steps we can take to cut emissions and preserve our environment. I am, after all, a conservative and seek to conserve not just American traditions and our Constitution, but our natural resources as well.

We should start by ending subsidies for oil companies. And we should never, ever go to war to protect our perceived oil interests. If oil were allowed to rise to its natural price, there would be tremendous market incentives to find alternate sources of energy. At the same time, I can’t support government “investment” in alternative sources either, for this is not investment at all.

Government cannot invest, it can only redistribute resources. Just look at the mess government created with ethanol. Congress decided that we needed more biofuels, and the best choice was ethanol from corn. So we subsidized corn farmers at the expense of others, and investment in other types of renewables was crowded out.

Now it turns out that corn ethanol is inefficient, and it actually takes more energy to produce the fuel than you get when you burn it. The most efficient ethanol may come from hemp, but hemp production is illegal and there has been little progress on hemp ethanol. And on top of that, corn is now going into our gas tanks instead of onto our tables or feeding our livestock or dairy cows; so food prices have been driven up. This is what happens when we allow government to make choices instead of the market; I hope we avoid those mistakes moving forward.”

    Where did this man come from? Surely no human could have this much common sense.

    We need to stop this constant inundation of chemicals into our food, air, water, on our land and now in the sea.
    The scientific chemists need to give it a rest.
    With the government in control of our health care, who gets what treatment…. and with the govt and corporations creating hazards to our health night and day…chemtrails, the Gulf Oil gusher….they are systematically creating death and sickness. This is an attack on Americans, a war…no different than agent orange in Vietnam and everywhere else they use chemical warfare.

    We Are All One

    Corporations and Corporate Governments refuse to follow THIS LAW.

    As long as they want to maintain control over people via “money”, then they will refuse to follow this law. We can do everything we do without money. Everyone’s needs would be met. Education for free, housing, food, the list is endless. A giving spirit is all that is needed. The right thing always sound too simple to be true. It’s simple because it lacks the complexities of lies and deceit and manipulations. No need for special govt programs to cover anything because we would not be using money. No need for endless talks about money when attempting to talk about specific human needs and how they will “cover the costs” or what we will have to do without. That is scarcity talk, when we live in a world of abundance. It is govts and corps who create the illusion of scarcity. We have talent and people capable of doing everything and anything in support of meeting humanity’s needs the world over. So why all the talk about 3rd world countries or the fear of becoming one? They are leading us down the wrong path with their illusion of the way they would like things to be for themselves, not for the all of humanity. To date, we talk of wealthy nations and still 3rd world countries, why? Because of laws governing resources and the activities of govt and corps, what they are allowed to do that create 3rd world counties and maintain them in that status. It’s a laugh then that politics would invent a solution to this problem. They are the very ones who want to maintain this so there is an elite ruling class. You see, if we did not base our economy on money, and on the flow of free contribution, where would the power be? IN THE PEOPLE. It’s always been in the people. But they would have us believe it is in those who have the most money. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Money is sheets of paper we all have to agree has value. When we stop agreeing, the value vanishes and so does the falsely ascribed power to this elite group. They can no longer dangle the money carrot to buy off everyone to do things they ordinarily would not do if they were living true to their hearts.

    Why do you suppose there have been so many books written to help people find their purpose? a mission? something they do they love to do and make money at it? Because we are all missing the same thing. They have switched us over to doing everything for money, which comes and goes, and there never is enough, which leaves us with an empty feeling. BUT when you do something from a giving spirit, and not money, it changes you. You feel fulfilled, on purpose, living with a mission, giving to society from your personal gifts and talents. By this way you are connected to yourself and to others in positive ways, every day. No longer looking for it, you have it. No longer feeling unfulfilled, you are filled by doing “work” in this way. We are all looking for it instead of being the cog in the corporate wheel or unemployment line.

    Everything that needs to get done will get done. If we all agree to contribute positively to society with our talents, there need be no exchange of money or use for it any more. No need for greed either, but we all get our needs met. No need for crime either, for all needs are met. This way is really transforming. What is the driving force behind an economy like this…your heart, compassion, love. This is the only force that knows and is THIS LAW.

    We’ve gotten so far away from this because of the moneychangers, that the corp and govt agenda is no longer supporting life. That’s what happens in a “money” economy, when greed rules over the people. It often leads to violence and military control over the people. Everything goes from bad to worse. Those who are addicted to this way, cannot stop themselves. It’s an addiction. They are intertwined with the worst thinkers amongst humanity, very destructive ones. They are stuck in the sad roles they play in the destruction of the world, of life, they have planned out.

    A painful lesson for everyone. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can choose something different. Power is in our choices and the way we think, and THAT WE THINK. Challenge the way things are. Most of it is propaganda backed and an illusion they have created for us to believe. Do your research. Think. Create. Be free. Be your own leader. Snap out of the illusion.

    SHOCK: Water “sample exploded” when chemist tested for oil; “Most likely” methane or Corexit (VIDEO)
    http://www.floridaoilspilllaw.com/shock-water-sample-exploded-when-chemist-tested-for-oil-most-likely-methane-or-corexit

    Think twice about letting the government who seems to have no care about the situation in the gulf…to be in charge of stopping poverty and pollution. They are actually doing a great job, in a joint venture with all the corporations involved, helping to create both poverty and pollution in the Gulf.

    Climate change alias global warming is just another fake revenue stream and a cover for their toxic chemtrail sprays….as if…barium and aluminum are good for your brain and body, good for the gardens and crops below!
