A Fraud In The Name Of "Mother Earth"

We've been hearing a lot about "man-made global warming" (or "man-made climate change") resulting from the greenhouse gas emissions. What is never told is that greenhouse gases (including water vapors) constitute about 1% of the Earth's atmosphere. Only 0.28% of them are man-made. That's 0.28% of 1% or ~28 parts per million. Now that's turning up the heat!..

"It's about votes, not Mother Earth", says Lorrie Goldstein in his Toronto Sun article. I couldn't agree more.

Most politicians don't know what the Kyoto accord says.
...
They think it's an environmental treaty. It's not. It's an economic treaty.

Its purpose is not to reduce GHG emissions -- under it GHG emissions are guaranteed to rise.

Kyoto is a United Nations treaty designed to transfer wealth from the developed world to the developing world by charging the developed world for the right to emit carbon.

That's hardly surprising given that wealth redistribution from rich nations to poor ones is the goal of most countries belonging to the UN.

And what about the ordinary middle-class people? What can they expect from Kyoto-related scams? You'll find the answer in this great essay. It was posted by Steve Janke slightly over a year ago, but the only thing that changed since is that instead of voluntary "carbon offsets" we have carbon taxes, mandatory for everyone living in BC and Quebec.

The vast majority of the people in the middle -- the vast majority who all own TVs and drive cars to work and live in detached homes with central air conditioning -- those people have to choose as well in this carbon neutral world. But they don't really have a choice, do they? If they were so wealthy that they could pay the 20% or more surcharge to buy offsets, then they wouldn't be middle class. On the other hand, what can they reduce? Refuse to take jobs that can't be reached by bus, only live in multi-family apartment units, make do without air conditioning -- sounds like a major move down the social ladder.

And that made me think more -- can a carbon neutral society even have a middle class? And what is a society in which the middle class doesn't exist, or is almost invisible? It was like that in the Middle Ages, wasn't it?

Sure, the pro-Kyoto crowd would be quick to dismiss that as fear-mongering. But somehow this essay corresponds quite well to the Green's not-that-hidden agenda. Their "eco game" which tells people at what age they should have died to avoid consuming too much, is emphasizing on "eco-spending" and "green investments" far more than on actual conservation. Using a cab is considered better than using a bicycle because it leaves you with less money to spend - that's the way those eco-freaks see it. Steve had been able to see that coming a year before the "eco-game" was posted online.
