Copenhagen, Gore, Obama: It's All a Lie

Alan Caruba on "The greatest fraud perpetrated worldwide in the modern era" (emphasis mine)

When President Obama shows up in Copenhagen to take part in the greatest fraud perpetrated worldwide in the modern era, there is only one thing you need to know. It is all a lie.

It was a lie from the first moment a scientist like James Hansen told Congress on June 23, 1988 that the planet was going to be roasted by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and it was a lie when Al Gore wrote "Earth in the Balance" and there were still more lies in his Oscar-winning documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth."

A British court banned the documentary from being shown in their schools unless a long list of disclaimers was read to the students before his lies were inflicted on them. American students were not so fortunate. Indeed, as I have said many times before, global warming has been a form of child abuse, causing needless anxiety and fear for countless children on whom it was inflicted.

But how could such a lie be perpetrated on such a vast stage and for so long? My answer to you is "the Soviet Union." From its inception in 1917 when the czarist monarchy was overthrown and Marxist theory, Communism, was imposed on Russia, whole generations were forced to suffer under this huge lie that the state would provide everything for everybody.

It is such a popular lie that it has been resurrected in Venezuela, Bolivia, and Ecuador. It returned the Sandinistas to power in Nicaragua. In the last century, millions died under the Communist banner, but that lie never seems to die.

Little wonder then that, when Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's communist dictator addressed the conference, Andrew Bolt of Australia's Herald-Sun reported that he received "a rousing round of applause." He was followed by Zimbabwe's despicable president, Robert Mugabe, who decried "these capitalist gods of carbon burp and belch their dangerous emissions."

A conference that celebrates such communist blather betrays its true intent. No American President should participate in such a naked display of contempt for capitalism unless of course he shares it

As Alan goes on to make clear, it's all about money and power. Millions are to be made selling bogus "carbon credits" for the use of energy. That's what Obama's "Cap-and-Trade" scam is all about. Those billions that have been wasted on "climate research" over the past twenty years and now they are being wasted on "clean energy" research which we're told is needed to replace "dirty" fuels like coal, oil and natural gas, are just lies. "Alternative" energy sources like solar and wind power can never and will never replace or even rival the power that so-called fossil fuels (and nuclear power) can provide. Combined, solar and wind provide barely provide one percent of all the electricity used daily in the nation. Biofuels have even less potential.
