A perfect storm is brewing for the IPCC

This article is one of the best summations of the entire global warming scam. I encourage everyone to read it.
The Complete Story

The news from sunny Bali that there is to be an international investigation into the conduct of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and its chairman Dr Rajendra Pachauri would have made front-page headlines a few weeks back. But while Scotland and North America are still swept by blizzards, in their worst winter for decades, there has been something of a lull in the global warming storm – after three months when the IPCC and Dr Pachauri were themselves battered by almost daily blizzards of new scandals and revelations. And one reason for this lull is that the real message of all the scandals has been lost.

and the story goes on

Apart from those non-vanishing polar bears, no fears of climate change have been played on more insistently than these: the destruction of Himalayan glaciers and Amazonian rainforest; famine in Africa; fast-rising sea levels; the threat of hurricanes, droughts, floods and heatwaves all becoming more frequent.

and more

All these alarms were given special prominence in the IPCC's 2007 report and each of them has now been shown to be based, not on hard evidence, but on scare stories, derived not from proper scientists but from environmental activists. Those glaciers are not vanishing; the damage to the rainforest is not from climate change but logging and agriculture; African crop yields are more likely to increase than diminish; the modest rise in sea levels is slowing not accelerating; hurricane activity is lower than it was 60 years ago; droughts were more frequent in the past; there has been no increase in floods or heatwaves.

and so on

My comment to the article referenced above. It is a point I have been trying to make for some time. I think it is an important one.

To debate Global Warming is to allow yourself to be side-tracked. To discuss whether the science is fraudulent is to go further down the rabbit hole. The issue has never been the environment. The battle lines have always been between various forms of tribalism and individualism. Whether it is global warming, animal rights, gay marriage or a whole plethora of left-wing causes, the fundamental distinction is whether man is a servant to the state or that the state is to serve the individual. The left believes the former and I follow the latter. I believe the state is here (the constitution, military, police and courts) to preserve individual liberties to the greatest extent possible.

One must give credit to the left for their tactics. Global warming got a good ride and was well on its way to a fait accompli. If not for some still unidentified heroes that cracked the scam by publishing damning e-mails, we might well be on our way to signing over the last vestiges of capitalism. Global warming is just a continuation of the battle between Jefferson and Marx.

The left has always sought out a crisis that could not be contained in geographical borders and the reasons are obvious. In the states, we have state's rights, which the left despises since it allows us to 1.) Experiment with a new concept in one or two states and 2.) Permits the voting with one’s feet when a new experiment goes particularly sour. E.g. New York is experiencing an exodus since it has raised taxes beyond usury rates.

What is telling is that progressives have long since given up on selling socialism packaged as socialism. History has shown that Americans just will not buy it. Therefore, they attempt to rebrand it under global warming, women's rights, union labor, social welfare programs and a whole slew of arbitrary crises and "kumbayah" songs. It has not been since the 1920's that socialism was sold under its own label. Saul Alinsky addresses this in his book along with ways to deceive the unwashed masses from ever finding out the dirty little secret until it is too late. Cloward and Piven are even more devious. You would think a revolution to "a more desirable place" would be easy to instigate but I can only think of one where there was very little internal resistance. And that, of course, was the American Revolution. That is because offering freedom to servants is deliciously palatable.

So let us dispense with the shadow boxing on both sides and agree to argue what we are arguing about. Much more respectable and we have a much better chance of declaring a winner when the bell rings.
