The Global Warming Hoax
By Alan Caruba |
By Friday, February 10th, an estimated 500 Europeans had died from the
freezing weather gripping the continent. This is the price they and
British citizens are paying for embracing the
global warming hoax, spending
billions for wind power when they should have been building coal-fired
and other sources of energy to heat their homes and businesses.As the British daily,
The Telegraph, reported on Friday,Serbia has
started implementing power cuts in a desperate bid to stave off the
collapse of its national grid as the country suffers the effects of
days of freezing temperatures.I and others have been warning for years that the Earth has been cooling
since 1998 and that the planet is on the cusp of a new ice age because
the average length of an interglacial period of warmth between such
ages is now coming to an end after the passage of some 11,500 years.All aspects of global warming legislation and spending programs must
be utterly reversed if we are not going to see huge losses of life and
the disruption of entire economies.The Ottawa Citizen published an
Agence France Presse
article on Friday reporting that
Thick ice
closed vast swaths of the Danube on Thursday, crippling shipping on
Europes busiest waterway, as the death toll from bitter cold across
the continent rose as it has every day for nearly two weeks.The report
noted that Navigation was impossible or restricted in Serbia, Croatia,
Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Austria, as ice covered the river or
formed dangerous floes in shipping lanes.No shipping means no delivery of coal and oil and no shipping of
food and other necessities. Europe is freezing over as the United States
has been experiencing an unusually mild winter thus far. That, too,
is likely to yield to the increased cooling of the planet and then,
maybe, Americans will realize the threat to their lives that the closing
of coal-fired plants, instigated by the Environmental Protection Agency,
really means.In England, The Mail, reported on Sunday, February 12th, that large
numbers of its elderly citizens are being
frozen to death as fuel bills soar: hypothermia cases among the elderly
double in five years. England, now gripped by foolish green notions
of renewable energy, has covered itself with wind turbines, despoiling
its countryside and coasts while proving unreliable and incapable of
meeting its energy needs.Figures showed that 1,876 patients were treated in hospital for hypothermia
in 2010-2011, up from 950 in 2006-2007 reported
The Mail Online. Three-quarters
of victims were pensioners, with cases soaring among the over-60s more
than any other age group.In Europe, other news organizations reported that Many of the dead
were homeless people, who literally froze to death as the temperatures
dropped to minus 50 degrees in some parts of the continent. Their bodies
were found in the streets buried under snow, in rivers, and in doorways.
Dozens of people were also killed in weather-related accidents.Writing in a Turkish newspaper, the
Hurriyet Daily News,
Sophie Quintin Adali, an analyst for a project of the Atlas Economic
Research Foundation, said,As if the debt crisis werent bad enough
news, the climate freeze sweeping across Europe is wreaking havoc by
severely disrupting travel, business and peoples lives. Local authorities,
indeed whole countries, are caught poorly prepared.Turkey is experiencing
record snowfall and low temperatures.The lack of readiness
should come as no surprise because
for decades the sensationalist message of global warming has
dominated the public area, said Ms. Adali.Politicians and decades of political environmentalism have a lot to
answer for, said Ms. Adali. The man-made climate theory is still supported
by a mighty European Union bureaucracy and a green network addicted
to public funds. Even now, the Green Climate Fund through which millions
of taxpayers money will still be disbursed is threatening the lives
and the economy of people worldwide.The current freeze is not just affecting Europe, but reaching across
the Mediterranean to North African nations. And at some point America
will feel it too.We have not built a single new nuclear plant in America since 1978.
EPA rules are forcing the closure of coal-fired plants throughout the
nation. The national grid for the distribution of electricity is in
need of upgrades.The nations policies are controlled by the most environmentally insane
administration in its history, wasting billions on so-called green energy.
Its new budget raises taxes and proposes a trillion-dollar deficit without
any significant effort to cut the spending that has left this and future
generations in debt while the price of gas soars to new heights.America and the rest of the world have been horribly deceived by the
United Nations Intergovernmental Climate Change Panel that continues
to drive the global warming hoax. The
lying scientists who got on the
global warming gravy train, the politicians that embraced it, and the
media that misled millions are all culpable, all responsible.People are freezing to death in their homes and in the streets. What
will it take to drive a stake into the heart of the global warming monster?
