The BS of Climate Change from Polar Bears to Taxes

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Someone sent in this Facebook link that lists the timeline of climate scares. It is amazing how these people hate society so much that they have lied about everything to try to send us back to the pre-Industrial Revolution. They are totally dishonest about what their objectives truly are and they conspire together to destroy our civilization.

They have succeeded in convincing Europe to take drastic action on “climate change,” but perhaps because the politicians already KNOW that their social system is collapsing and they will be unable to sustain it even with the highest taxation on the planet.

Macron of France is pushing hard to Federalize Europe because he knows full well that France cannot maintain the level of social benefits and still keep its spending in line with the European treaty. His agenda is to federalize Europe and use climate change as a cover for the failing socialism he faces. By pushing France to surrender its total sovereignty to Brussels, the cuts to French benefits will then not be his, but Brussels. That ploy will simply not work. Nonetheless, he has been trying to use climate change to reduce social benefits.

 

When I lived in Switzerland for a few months a few years ago working on a project, the same Starbucks drink in Zug was $10 compared to $5 in the USA. The degree of hidden taxes through the VAT system combined with income taxes that are 20-30% higher than in the USA means there is just no room to raise taxes in a normal fashion. Hence, politicians need global warming as an excuse to raise taxes. That is what began the Yellow Vest Movement in France — the added fuel tax to save the planet. We saw the same excuse when Canada placed a $1,000 tax per home to save the planet when the money just goes into the general coffer and does not even fund a pretend strategy to save the planet.

Climate change has become the battle cry for governments to simply raise taxes and the lies will only fuel civil unrest.

I may be reading to much into your article or missing the point but, are you saying that there is lots of room for kicking this can of BS in the good old USA down the road? We are not being taxed as harshly as the European’s and Canada so we have a lot more taxation to look forward to? If that is the case I hope and pray that the American people have enough grit to say enough. Just because the rest of the world has gone bat shit crazy doesn’t mean we have to go there as well. Should the uni-party desire to paint us into a corner, well have at it. Lets see how that turns out. Enough is enough! Fight the bully today or tomorrow, what is the difference? The sooner you get the job done the less you have to suffer in the long run. Never liked giving my ass away and crapping through my ribs.

It’s hard to imagine the stupidity of the people who believe the climate change bullshit. Burt Rutan, the gifted aeronautical designer, explained it clearly to me 9 or 10 years ago. It’s really not that complicated.

I also had a thermodynamics professor who I clearly remember saying, nearly 40 years ago, “There are two kinds of people in the world, those who know how a refrigerator works, and those who don’t.”
Man, was he ever correct!

If you haven’t noticed, the quality of the American Thinker has gone down the toilet. This assertion confirmed at my recent Christmas dinner gathering.

SeeBee – I noticed the same thing. Everyone’s getting stupider.

Far from being “fossil fuel”, hydrocarbons are not only plentiful but are being renewed by yet-unknown processes deep within the earth.

The term “fossil fuel” was coined in the 1950s when little was known about the processes by which oil is produced.

Oil is “abiotic” in nature, as even depleted oil wells are “filling back up” from deep below the earth’s surface.

Oil interests are drilling wells at 5,000 feet, 10,000 feet, and 15,000 feet and deeper, and coming up with oil deposits way below the layers and levels where “fossils” were known to exist.

As Russia gained much expertise in deep-well drilling and coming up with oil deposits far deeper than that of the level of “fossils”, abiotic oil at extreme depths was actually a Russian ‘state secret” for a long time.

Not only that, but there are planetary bodies in which hydrocarbons are naturally occurring (without fossils).

“Peak oil” and “fossil fuels” are discredited concepts that environmentalists and others are latching on to, in order to display their hatred of oil being a renewable resource as well as to push prices up.

Follow the money.

Not so quick, anarchyst, it hasn’t been proven. “The truth could prove to be that both mechanisms are correct, or that neither provides a completely accurate picture of how crude oil comes to us. What is certain is that scientists need to avoid letting previous ideas, politics, or even scientific competition prevent them from accepting the truth, whatever that proves to be.”

Where Does Crude Oil Come From? Biotic or Abiotic Processes?

I beg to differ…abiotic oil IS a reality, but is being discredited because of politics and economics. You see, the “powers that be” want nothing more than to see hydrocarbons as a finite product. This gives them the excuse to control humanity as well as to manipulate prices. Oil, as a constantly created product, throws a “wrench” into their plans. As I have previously stated, hydrocarbons are being found at depths far deeper than that of fossilized dinosaurs and plant life. Add to that, depleted wells are producing hydrocarbons, as well.

Thank you, anarchyst, you make a very strong argument – I take your points especially if oil is found beyond the fossil layers, and the motivation is there too to keep us in the dark. I have a friend in the oil business, I’ll see if he knows anything.

Sun and earth are THE biggest known drivers of climate. Geoengineering is playing a role and should be the first place to look if you want to bring humanity into the climate change claim. In my humble opinion.

How to debunk the greta agenda:

1. Myth: Co2 causes climate change
Over 420,000 years of climate data shows that temperature change occurs BEFORE Co2 rises, therefore C02 is a trailing indicator

2. Myth: C02 is the primary greenhouse gas
Water vapor (clouds) makes up 94% of atmospheric gasses, C02 is only 4%, the primary factor in any conclusion must take this into account, any model or chart that does not include water vapor is purposely misleading

3. Myth: 400 ppm is the highest level of C02 we can sustain (before we all die)
Over the last 300 million years C02 has averaged about 1000-1200 ppm. Commercial greenhouse use about 1200 ppm to increase yield and decrease water usage.
During the ice age C02 was 4000 ppm

4. Myth: Global temperature is rising
100,000 years ago the temp was avg +4 degrees warmer than it is today, and this cycle of rising/falling temperatures can be seen over 400,000. When temps rise, they rise dramatically, and then fall dramatically; none of these peaks/valleys were caused by humans.

Search Term – Tim Ball: the deliberate corruption of climate science.

Well said dear Sir, thank you. At last a sensible voice. It’s all theatre and BS; TPTB have an agenda and we are all being taken as dummies.

I agree Austrian Peter.

Science has been, in general replaced by emotion, half truths and outright lies from educators and political agenda. We are moving backwards in my opinion. I keep doing 360’s looking for creative thinking and scientific thought. There is precious little to find or see.

It absolutely perplexes me when people promote the climate change nonsense. It’s as if they are fucking stupid or collaborators.

Add a couple more reasons and make it into a multiple choice question.

I vote “all of the above”.

Certain men have attempted to enslave the rest of humanity since the beginning, and the same is true today.
Taxes are the current tool by which governments, and the corporations who control those governments attempt to enslave the people within their particular borders. Today though we see globalists, who’s goal is to enslave all of humanity under their central rule. They are doing this by creating “Unions” where trade agreements replace constitutions and elements of self determination.
Until mankind comes to the realization that all government and all corporations are evil, they are destined to serve as slaves under their rule.
