Climate Change = Fear campaign

I am going to out myself, yes am I a heretic amongst my heretic leanings...
  1. Who cares about a foreign trade deficit when the domestic economy is much much larger.
  2. Who cares about foreign debt as it is about 10% of total domestic assets.
  3. The claim that the Western economies are hollowed out of manufacturing, when it remains much larger than retail, second only to financial based companies.
  4. Your job as a DBA is to make business tasks run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Businesses will only care about block internals and x$ tables if it helps that process.
What is the latest outing? From the heading I am guessing you already know.

In NSW, Sydney, we have been bombarded by the need to follow the crowd, peer pressure etc etc and turn off your lights for one hour on Saturday 7.30pm. Not your fridge, heater, air-conditioners, laundry dryers, just your lights. Maybe they will take a satellite picture and send around the energy saver enforcers so that all conform to the new religion.

Here is a article to read about consensus.

I am frankly over the Fear and Doubt campaign being run to propel what was global cooling, then global warming, now climate change. I have no problem with the world warming up, my problem is the root cause.

My objections as a 15 second elevator pitch.
  1. The sun is the biggest source of heat energy.
  2. Water is the biggest greenhouse gas.
  3. I reject that human related activity has any impact of the current increase in temperatures given the many such occurrences in the past.
Please read this post. We have a bunch of people who are believe (and most likely profit) in a delusion of a romantic utopia something along the lines of the garden of eden, but without mankind involved of course.
They push this massive guilt trip (like most other religions and cults) that humans have committed the original sin, in their utopia perspective, of being industrialized and technological rather than remaining in harmony with nature as a pure animal.

Now the underlining reason why I am passionate about technology and freedom to think and develop new technologies.

Technology will set you free and make you live longer.
Less than 100 years ago before wide spread availability of antibiotics, I would have been dead at 2 years old, one of the countless infants who died before reaching the age of 6. I asked my colleagues at a past workplace and 4 out of 5 would also have been dead.
I live because of human technological progress. As a parent now I can't imagine the extreme grief at losing any of your children to random colds or flus. You have got to be joking if I want to regulate and reduce living standards to conform to some deluded Utopian version.

A local TV channel run a hour long program about climate change. As soon as I saw the fake headlines I knew that was going to crap. 8 metre storm surges on the Gold Coast, ho hum. As I do on occasion I interacted with the TV and told it/them that sentence completely crap and switched channels.

Such fate d'compli, do your best old chap to reduce emissions and we might save the planet. (Yes I happened to see that last 10 secs of the show).
Nevermind that is the sun which is causing most of the warming due to increased solar activity and CO2 is not a major greenhouse gas (water and methane are). I even saw some experts actually talking about having to limit population growth again.
Who makes the decision who lives or dies or has children, you or I or some faceless person in the Department of Family Services and Planning?
Anyone bothered to read about about the demographic nightmare which is going to happen to China because of their one child policy.

The method being used by the people who are benefiting both material and otherwise is the classic crowd control/conformity. The scare tactic, with of course the guilty or scapegoat.
Look at big business, look how long and crooked their noses are, behind closed doors they secretly plot to rule over all that is good and just in the world.
Look at the inequality of the world. Why should anyone live better than the lowest common denominator.

We have a solution, we have a romantic vision of a green paradise, a garden of eden utopia where humans are no higher than other beast, we are all animals. Rid to world of business, technology, (and humans) and let Gaiga rule again.

Now a better show was WestWing, damn I can't believe I never watched this show until now.

Have Fun, live long.
