From Don Hank:
This year puny little man declared that HE and he alone must control a runaway climate and decided to tax the beejeebers out of the rich countries to pay the poor countries, boasting that this would surely stop “global warming” and save the planet. And all of this on the strength of data that did not rise to the rigor needed to prove warming was happening, only tendentious reports from the University of East Anglia, charged by the politically motivated IPCC with providing scientific data but, as shown by hackers, in reality sending massaged numbers trimmed to fit their assumptions.
Then, as usual, just as man was gearing up to play his stint as God, Europe experienced a near-record snow and cold streak that all but shut down the Copenhagen conference on climate change.
Al Gore lost his nerve and stayed home. The leaders of China and India balked.
A near-record snow fell outside the White House to remind our “leaders” of their impotence and foolishness.
Then came the earthquakes, Haiti, Chile, China, tremors in Mexico and California.
And now comes the Icelandic volcano of Eyjafjallajökull that shut down air traffic indefinitely in Europe. Who can we carbon-tax to control all of this? Will wealth redistribution stop the belching goliath or raise the dead in Port au Prince and Santiago and rebuild structures resembling piles of matchsticks as seen from the air?
Whom do we punish with cap and trade for causing these disasters? Was it the rich again? White Christians? The Tea Party movement? Homophobes perhaps?
One thing is certain: There is nothing like a slowly erupting volcano to block the sun’s rays and create a worldwide cold spell. This year, crops will not be the same, if indeed we get any.
Isn’t it time man showed some humility?
Or will he continue to play Russian roulette with the Almighty and wait for the BIG one? After all, this might be just a little a warm-up.
