The shifting semantics of global warming


B. Hussein Obama has made it difficult to pin down his opinions on anything as he has metamorphosed immeasurably since June 2008 changing his policies and stated philosophy on a good number of subjects. On everything from Universal Healthcare to government funded abortions Obama has changed his public stances. Although as an Illinois legislator he was a rabid liberal he is now repackaging himself as having a record as a reformer and agent of change (without proof of any or reform demonstrable change). And while I could go on detailing how he changed since being handed the DNC nomination that is not the point of this blog.

One of the few areas Obama has remained consistent since either getting his party's nod or winning the general election is his support for the myth of anthropogenic global warming. And despite all of the media hype about his "centrist" cabinet he is packing his cabinet with global warming leftards.


Over the past half decade the Church of Global Warming has hitched their wagon to one horse, that being the "fact" that man has caused global warming through excessive generation of carbon dioxide, most notably through fossil fuel combustion. I refer to those who support this myth as the Church of Global Warming because like all religions (cults or sects), it requires a level of blind faith and willingness to not question the doctrine, even when science exists that contradicts the dogma.

In 2006 the IPCC assembled a bunch of scientists and released their now famous report that "ended the debate on global climate change". They affirmed the rising temperatures were caused by man made contribution of carbon dioxide. Case closed, the sole reason has been identified.

However, many people questioned this. And the more people questioned this preposterous claim the more the truth came out about the composition of the IPCC panel which raised questions but not in the media, which true to it's liberal bias was proclaiming this myth as fact.

Obama has proven he will change to get what he wants, his panel of global warming czars will be no different. They will change their arguments but they cannot change the facts that their belief cannot be substantiated. I predict however, that their rhetoric will expand from the simplistic "man made carbon dioxide" diatribe used by the Global Warming Troofers and will require better use of science to combat their rhetoric.

But make no mistake, while it might sound more polished and professional in nature than "An Inconvenient Truth" it will still remain nothing more than rhetoric. I predict it won't be long before we see a new and improved effort from the global warming cultists and see a movement towards global cap and trade as a "solution" to this myth.

While the topic of Global Warming has gotten a bye in the alternate media in 2008 my prediction it will be getting renewed attention shortly. And while these theories will be forwarded by scientists there will be nothing scientific about it.
