Thanks for posting that excellent article "AUTailgatingRules"; very good read.
I was particularly amused by Mr. Coleman's use of religious metaphors at one point when describing Al Gore as the High Priest of anthropogenic global warming. There truly is very little science behind the global warming non-sense so to refer to it as a religion involving lots of faith is entirely appropriate.
Further, I did not know the story behind Al Gore's obsession with anthropogenic global warming; I thought that background at Harvard and Scripps Oceanographic Institute was quite interesting.
Well, as I've said before these global warming alarmists won't be satisfied until they have completely de-industrialized the US altogether turning us into some kind of "turd" world nation. And the sheeple will believe that carbon dioxide is poison and not the naturally forming gas that is necessary for life on this planet.
I rather liked his comment on this latter subject:
May I stop here for a few historical notes? First, the internal combustion engine and gasoline were awful polluters when they were first invented. And, both gasoline and automobile engines continued to leave a layer of smog behind right up through the 1960’s. Then science and engineering came to the environmental rescue. Better exhaust and ignition systems, catalytic converters, fuel injectors, better engineering throughout the engine and reformulated gasoline have all contributed to a huge reduction in the exhaust emissions from today’s cars. Their goal then was to only exhaust carbon dioxide and water vapor, two gases widely accepted as natural and totally harmless. Anyone old enough to remember the pall of smog that used to hang over all our cities knows how much improvement there has been. So the environmentalists, in their battle against fossil fuels and automobiles had a very good point forty years ago, but now they have to focus almost entirely on the once harmless carbon dioxide. And, that is the rub. Carbon dioxide is not an environmental problem; they just want you now to think it is.
And his concluding statement is a very good summary:
I love this civilization. I want to do my part to protect it. If Al Gore and his global warming scare dictates the future policy of our governments, the current economic downturn could indeed become a recession, drift into a depression and our modern civilization could fall into an abyss. And it would largely be a direct result of the global warming frenzy.
