Yes, it has happened. The political left<\/a> has finally found a war<\/a> it is wholeheartedly willing to fight–no holds barred–they even want to draft Americans to fight it. So what is that war?<\/p>\n

Investor’s Business Daily<\/a> posted an article today about a war the political left wants to fight.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The political left is ready to go to war, but not against any real threat. It wants to fight global warming<\/a> \u2014 and of course that will require Americans to make sacrifices that just happen to align with the left’s objectives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Al Gore<\/a> popularized the phrase “fighting global warming” to underscore what he thinks is the seriousness of the matter. Though profoundly childish, the expression caught on and apparently inspired a Seattle<\/a>-based writer to lay out in the Atlantic<\/a> a plan for war<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Venkatesh Rao, “solving global warming” is going to be “like mobilizing for war.” And of course, war requires us to give up some things in the name of the effort.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Rao says that “for ordinary Americans, austerities might include an end to expansive suburban lifestyles and budget air travel<\/a>, and an accelerated return to high-density urban living and train travel.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the same time, businesses might need to rethink “entire supply chains, as high-emissions sectors become unviable under new emissions regimes.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this wartime, Rao is also demanding trust in “academic and energy-sector public institutions” as well as in “the integrity and declared intentions of institutions” that understand “the intricacies” of climate science.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nevermind the false data that has been used to show climate change, never mind the growing ice<\/a> caps that contradict the panicked claims of global warming. We have become so arrogant that we believe that we can control the climate outside and inside. Wow.<\/p>\n

I would like to point out at this point that I support efforts made to make air and water cleaner. I support efforts to maintain the earth and correct previous mistakes made that had a negative impact on the environment,. However, I also believe that crippling the free market system<\/a> (or what is left of it) in the world will simply cause more poverty, more pollution, and more misery. That is something I simply cannot support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
