Those “the science is settled” folks are at it again, this time saying that the global warming tipping point is no further away than 2020 – seven years! Somewhere in the past year I assembled all the various “point of no return” dates for this nonsense but who knows where it is. I’m tagging this post “global warming countdown” so I can find it next time that deadline is extended and refer back to it.
And here’s why they have to keep pushing doomsday back: if there’s no doomsday looming just over the horizon, there’s no panic and they can’t their agenda passed. But once that point is reached, then what? Assholes like me will suggest that if, as they say, there’s nothing we can do about global warming then let’s just forget about it and get on with our lives.
But what happens then to their plans to shut down western civilization? So what they do is just let the deadline elapse without comment and set a new one, a few more years down the road, knowing full well that the media will play along with the game and let them continue their screeching.
But those deadlines were pronounced: 2008, 2009, 20010, 2011 etc. This week, it’s 2020. Next year it will be still further out but “any day now, any day!” Think about it: we will never achieve what these guys say is necessary – we are not going to shut down China and India even if Europe and the United States abandon all industrial production and as I’ve pointed out here before, by 2020, China alone will be producing more greenhouse gases than Europe and America do now – we shut down completely, retreat to caves and the world is still doomed.
So let’s move along.
