One of the crown jewels of the so-called "Green" movement has been the anthropomorphic, or man-caused (AGW) hysteria. People worldwide have bought into this theory despite overwhelming evidence that global warming itself is a natural and unstoppable occurrence witnessed by eons worth of data about the history of the planet.
But the masses cannot resist a crisis. Responding to a perceived crisis by helping makes folks feel good (less guilty) and part of something bigger; something important. The unscrupulous, including the Obama administration and the Left, understand this and piggyback political agendas on top of each "crisis" to get things done. This is not new, but the AGW hysteria seems to be the first time an issue has been promoted on a planetary scale ....... for what purpose?
When you look behind the curtain of Oz, you see the people pulling the strings are the One-World crowd. The ones that believe everyone is entitled to a share of the planet's bounty regardless of their ability, reproductive responsibility, worth or energy. They have a little problem though. An ACORN style revelation has come onstage in the form of emails hacked from the servers at the University of East Anglia in the UK. Specifically the climate research unit. You may or may not have heard about this because it is incredibly damaging to the AGW political agenda, thus off limits for the mainstream media. The spin is already in high gear to portray the excerpts as out of context or meaningless bits, but the entire emails are available on the web for all to read.
The Anglia emails are the first hard evidence of what the AGW skeptics have always thought to be true; that there was a conspiracy within scientific circles to massage data, withhold data and block research that supported the AGW skeptics. I can only hope that this is the beginning of a series of larger , more damning, stories that will crush the AGW forever. Then mankind can return to responsible pollution control and development of alternative power sources without a return to the Stone Age.
On top of this all a recent University of Utah study on CO2 emissions was released which said that the only way to stop emissions worldwide was for a global economic crash. Will, or would, such a crash be engineered by influential AGW zealots? Further, the report went on to say that to counteract the existing emissions volume worldwide would take the construction of one nuclear plant per day that removes a fossil fuel plant from the grid. Nuclear power? Man, that's a laugh. Nuclear energy has been demonized by the Left and the "Greens" ever since the movie "The China Syndrome" was produced back in 1979. Consequently the US has been stuck in the mud on nuclear energy for the last 30 years. The Left's latest victory; to stop construction of the Yucca Mountain repository, where the taxpayers have spent billions to find a safe place to store spent nuclear material. All because it couldn't be guaranteed to store waste for 100,000 years. If anyone in their right mind thinks we mankind will still be here in 100,000 years or we have not developed a technology to permanently dispose of the nuclear waste by then, they are crazy. How ironic that the nuclear energy the Left has tried to save us from would now be considered a way to deliver us from global catastrophe. But this is what it has come to. Thank God for the Anglia hacker and the ACORN style whistle blowers, maybe now this AGW hype will implode.
The key to global prosperity is ABUNDANT and CHEAP energy and that is not the agenda that the Left and the Green crowd Kool Aid drinkers are pushing. With power and technology, mankind can do anything. Including getting off of Mother GAEA and out into space. The AGW crowd would have us fall backward and accept less for our race rather than more.

I am going to post a question that will undoubtedly label me as a pure crackpot on this forum, hence posting as the ubiquitous "anonymous. Here goes: What if the entire nuclear industry, weapons, power plants and associated physics are nothing but a gigantic fraud? On the face of it, this assertion is ridiculous, however, in light of the by now well established fancifully fraudulent nature of the capitalist financial system; can we safely assume that the nuclear industry is any different? Before dismissing this fantastic proposal, I would ask the reader to consider cui bono and the Global Warming Fantasy described in this article in the same context. Why anyone would assume that the "Hidden Hand" would try to fake us out on those and leave this Golden Goose alone requires a truly enormous cognitive dissonance - thoughts?
Well, where to begin. Each assertion one by one. Captialism is fancifully fraudulent? Hardly. Capitalism has delivered more wealth to more humans than any other system in the history of the planet. Capitalism has been responsible for the production of marvels of innovation and creativity. Allowed for the explosion of art and science and with its wealth, has allowed freedom to exist within a security blanket funded by the abundance of those countries that embrace it. Perfect, no, but the alternatives all lay in the dustbin of history.
The OZ analogy, your "Hidden Hand" refers to the obvious use of the AGW agenda to galvanize public opinion en masse to support trans border political controls. How could it be otherwise? We are talking about a planet here not just one country. To me the concept of AGW is fraudulent on its face. Simply looking at the accepted science before Al Gore arrived on the scene leads one to understand that the earth has gone through natural periods of warming and cooling. Why is this persistently ignored? Current revelations about fuzzy science, loss of data, supression of contrarian views are only icing on the cake.
Lastly, the point of the blog post being that the Greens are being relectantly driven into the arms of the nuclear industry because to date it is the only technology that produces no greenhouse gases and delivers power on a scale to be meaningful to society. This after years of trying to scare Americans into believing handling nuclear materials was going to despoil the globe. Other countries have benefited handsomely from not being so short sighted as to ignore nuclear power generation. Think where the U.S. would be now but for the unfounded hysteria of the Green movement. I could go on and on. It seems to me a funny irony that the enviros have come full circle on nuclear energy. Bring on fusion please so all this becomes moot.
