Ops, our central planners made an error re: global warming

Our all knowing rulers and central planners, who know what is good for us and who are bound and determined to impose their will upon us, made an error. Ops! Turns out that biofuels - or turning the last 1/2 inch of topsoil in the mid west into corn derived ethanol, causes more environmental problems than it fixes.

What a great example of why socialism failed! Only the marketplace, that is the result of free people making self interested decisions, can improve the human condition. Yes, freedom works!

By the way, the most destructive of these socialistic central planners are central banks - the US Federal Reserve, the EU central bank, et al.

Global Warming is a Hoax

I have long believed that the current global warming super meme is a collectivist hoax, designed to stamped  stampede the uneducated majority into a panic and thereby empower leftist elites to the detriment of individual rights. These individual rights, especially private property, are the basis of civilization (or what’s left of civilization).

There’s an article in the UK Times Online debunking much of the bad science behind the global warming hoax. It’s trust is that solar activity, not carbon dioxide, is the main driver of climate change. It points to and acutal experiment showing the relationship of cosmic rays to cloud formation. Well worth the read.

And what of the heavy snows in the US mid-west and northeast this week? The silence from the global warming jihadis is defenening.
