Global Warming Hysteria is Child Abuse

Global warming concerns are keeping children awake at night was the headline. In England, half of young children are anxious about the effects of global warming, often losing sleep because of their concern, according to a new report today.

One in seven of the little darlin’s said their own parents were not doing enough to improve the environment. They feared the possible submergence of entire countries. Thanks very much, Al Gore!

“By raising awareness amongst today's young, hopefully we are improving our chances of reaching a solution” explained Pete Williams, a spokesman for the survey. “While many adults (even Brits) may look the other way, this study shows that global warming is not only hurting the children of the future, it's affecting the welfare of kids now.” Thank you, Pete, keep scarin those kids.

Meanwhile, the Hollywood mafiosa are poised, that’s the word, to bestow an Oscar or two on Al and his science fiction movie. And those rascally Asians are finding a way to make a buck or two zillion.

Andy Mukherjee in Bloomberg reports: “Governments in rich nations are spending billions of dollars to buy a clearer conscience over climate change. Are they getting their money's worth?”

If you are one of those who stay awake at nights wondering what you can do to prevent the polar caps from melting, there’s a growing menu of choices for your largesse.

Easy Being Green Co. says it will mitigate your cat's flatulent contribution to global warming for $8 per year. The same company could also make your granny carbon-neutral at $10 a year, according to a report in The Australian.

Then there's Carbon Planet Co. If you’re hopping a flight between Sydney and Canberra, and feeling bad about the damage you are doing to the ecosystem, you can buy carbon credits worth $23, for which the company will guarantee to keep a ton of carbon dioxide out of the air for 100 years.

Now for the serious stuff. Michael Wara of Stanford U. explained in an article in the journal Nature this month: “Countries that must purchase emission credits to atone for their higher-than-mandated production of carbon dioxide are paying a tiny group of chemical manufacturers in China and India massive sums to reduce industrial gases and methane.”

China and India are getting a prize for producing lots of hydrofluorocarbon-23, one of the greenhouse gases under the Kyoto Protocol. Six Chinese companies have consented to be paid $986 million by Euro countries to destroy the HFC-23 they are producing and only spending $31 million on incinerators, thanks to the elaborate trading mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol. DuPont Co. in the USA does it for free.

Gujarat Fluorochemicals Ltd., the first company from India to join the game, reported that it had tripled its revenue in the last quarter and shareholders have earned 662 percent on the stock since March 2005, when Japan, Italy, the UK and Netherlands agreed to pay the company to destroy HFC-23. (Attention, son John) Italy alone may pay 12.8 billion euros over the next four years to buy emission credits. The UN loves this subsidy from the developed to the developing world to get them to clean up their industrial byproducts.

I do not think that Americans should love it. Now there is something we can do about it. The PatriotPost has launched an important petition to “Stop Albert Gore and Reject the UN's Global Warming Treaty.” Gore is trying to re-energize the Clinton-era movement advocating Kyoto compliance -- the biggest UN power-grab in history. Sign this petition, please!

They already have over 30,000 electronic signatures and want to deliver 100,000 signatures to the Senate by the time Al Gore reaches the podium at this Sunday's Academy Awards.

The petition reads as follows:

We urge the United States Senate to reject the 1997 United Nations Kyoto Protocols Treaty purporting to address global warming by constraining economic growth in the United States while allowing unmitigated growth in 129 other nations, including two of the largest world economies in China and India.

We reject the Orwellian solutions proposed by Albert Arnold Gore and others who claim that the Kyoto Protocols must be adopted to stop global warming. The science of climate change is very imprecise, and current trends in climate change may have little or nothing to do with production of so-called "greenhouse gasses" such as carbon dioxide.

Albert Gore's solutions will only impede the advancement of scientific and technological innovation, and would impoverish hundreds of millions of people around the world.

Friends, send this to your friends -- let's flood the site with our signatures.
