The Big Global Warming Lie

To any reader who takes at least a few minutes a day to read, you probably already are aware that the "science" for man-made global warming is shaky at best. Honestly, it's more like an outright lie and what I like to call the Left's Ultimate Power Grab. The Left historically gets power through crises, whether real (like the Depression) or imagined (like this) when there is no crisis.

A fellow blogger posted a link to an article from a mere 30 years ago (OK, 34, but I'm just rounding) from Time Magazine regarding the fear of "global cooling"! The link can be had here.

Yes, for those of you born after 1980, there was a hysteria over the inevitability of a new Ice Age! And guess what one of the causes was? Read the following snippet:

Man, too, may be somewhat responsible for the cooling trend. The University of
Wisconsin's Reid A. Bryson and other climatologists suggest that dust and other
particles released into the atmosphere as a result of farming and fuel burning
may be blocking more and more sunlight from reaching and heating the surface of
the earth.

Indeed, we were driving ourselves to our doom! Sound familiar? And in the 1970s, gas was a lot dirtier than it is now! Back in those days, you had a choice between leaded and unleaded gas.

We were also told that the rainforests and oil would be all used up by now. But they're both still here, and in abundance. Heck, the US alone is sitting on centuries worth of oil. But the Left can't have us use it, because producing our own oil won't increase the supply. Such logic passes for intelligent thought nowadays. Makes me afraid for the future.
