The fact of the matter is that our politicians have an insatiable appetite for our money and the global warming scam is just too rich for them to ignore. They will continue to beat this drum even after it has been discredited many times over because they're out of money but not out of bright ideas to spend it...
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta declared global warming a national
security threat yesterday during a speech before an environmentalist
group in Washington, D.C.
"The area of climate change has a dramatic impact on national security," Panetta told the Environmental Defense Fund
last night. "Rising sea levels, severe droughts, the melting of the
polar caps, the more frequent and devastating natural disasters all
raise demand for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief."
The Defense Secretary must have missed Examiner Columnist Mona Charen's recent piece on how symbols of global warming aren't working out the way environmentalists predicted.
For instance, The United Nations climate change panel "admitted that
the melting Himalayas prediction was not based on science but on a 1999
media interview given by one scientist," Charen observed. "They said
they regretted the error. Now, a study in nature, based on satellite
imagery, has shown that some melting of lower altitude glaciers is
taking place but that higher glaciers have been adding ice."
With reference to the story of an apparently-marooned polar bear
floating on an ice floe -- puzzling, as polar bears can swim for
hundreds of miles -- Charen cited a new Canadian study showing that the
polar bear population is on the rise.
"Oh, and the scientist for the Department of the Interior whose 2004
work on drowning polar bears inspired Al Gore and others has been placed
on administrative leave for unspecified wrongdoing," she added.
