Continuing the 25 Days Of Climate Christmas
2013′s Climate Grinches — Stealing Christmas Warmth And Putting It Into The Atmosphere
Climate change is the most pressing challenge of our time, yet meaningful action to address this global threat seems increasingly elusive. What’s standing in the way? There are numerous individuals, organizations, and corporations that actively work to obstruct attempts to cut our carbon emissions, advance clean energy, and prepare communities for the devastating impacts of climate change. Here is a list of just a few of these thwarters who stood out in 2013.
If it’s the most pressing challenge, why do so few Warmists practice what they preach? If they aren’t giving up their own use of fossil fuels, air conditioners, hairspray, ice makers, washing machines and dryers, installing solar and wind on their property, only buying local, and unplugging every appliance when not in use, among other measures, then they are part of the problem, not part of “meaningful action”.
Anyhow, the Climate Grinches named are
- Tony Abbott
- Stephen Harper
- Rupert Murdoch
- Rex Tillerson
- The Koch Brothers
- House Committee on Science, Space and Technology
- American Legislative Exchange Council
- Joseph Bast, President and Co-founder of the Heartland Institute
- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce
- Bjorn Lomborg
You’re welcome read why at the link. The blurb about Lomborg is amusing
Recently Lomborg wrote an editorial in the UK Times that asserts that, “global warming has mostly been a net benefit so far†and will be for decades. So while Lomborg does not deny that climate change is happening, he might be considered a confusionist, as Climate Progress’ Joe Romm recently labeled him. With Lomborg holding such a high perch from which to espouse his confusing — and even confounding — views, the potential negative impact he could have on combating climate change stands to be tall.
A “confusionist”. Warmists do not like what Lomborg has to say because he speaks without hysteria, unlike Warmists, and notes that Mankind is doing pretty well during the Modern Warm Period, regardless of the cause. He notes that Mankind tends to do better during the warm periods than during the cool periods. And “climate change” is all about gloom and doom, the better to make sure that Government is increasingly put in charge of people’s lives and the private sector.
