Global Warming is more marketing campaign than science. There are spokespeople, Al Gore, Leo DiCaprio, Sheryl Crow, and there are products and services, books, light bulbs, T-Shirts, and movies. Just as there are industries buit around making accessories for iPods, there are millions of people who profit from the “green” campaign by branding their wares with the messages of the mindless.
Copenhagen seems to be equivalent to a major “Stevenote,” the always anticipated addresses by CEO of Apple Inc., Steve Jobs, who mesmerizes audiences with new products they simply have to have when the presentation is done. The media eats it up.
We found out yesterday that melting ice caps is the new product rollout for 2010. Even though the science of the message was instantly discredited, the media already invested an enormous amount of time to spreading the word. Just like a Stevenote, the press buzzed even after a few skeptical eyes pointed out the product wasn’t that great.
Speaking of that, product placement is key to global warming. Al Gore had an entire week of appearences and the message of going “green” sprawled across every single show on NBC. An Inconvenient Truth and a sewer full of other propaganda has made its way into schools across America. Children sing oaths and take pledges to be greenies. Who needs jingles when you can just indoctrinate the youth?
Now that we have the 2010 rollout, we can expect to hear more about melting ice. Yes, this years line is a little recycled, these are greenies, what do you expect? We’ve been down the ice cap melting road before. The ice seemed to be going away a few years ago, it returned. It seems to have a habit of thinning during warmer months and coming back during colder ones, if you can imagine such a concept. Still, it makes for great headlines and sells more product if the story has horrific consequences and puts humanity on the brink of destruction.
Our only hope is that the left can only sell so many lemons before their followers realize they are only buying rocks painted yellow. The greenie’s failed predictions and empty scare tactics will eventually stop influencing, well, the influencers. A marketing campaign can ship a lot of product and fool many. Eventually though, if the product sucks, the people realize what they were sold and get angry. The only question is, how much will it cost before the people demand a refund?
The public is quickly turning against the global warming nonsense. When the planet hasn’t warmed in eleven years, it is difficult to keep selling the concept that there is a warming trend. Average Americans probably haven’t heard much about Climategate and incriminating e-mails, but they have heard enough from Al Gore. In a time when we are all fighting for work, we cannot afford to be sold on more expensive lightbulbs, higher gas prices, and caulk. Suddenly, the threat of economic collapse seems to be sobering the average American who is realizing something isn’t right with the world sold to us by progressivism.
There is one simple message Republicans can hit over and over again to win. Climate “control” means death to the economy and the pocketbooks of average Americans. They have a choice between spending their money to save the Caribou or buying cheaper gasoline. Yeah, they will pick gasoline!
The planet is fine, there is no global warming, and the Climategate scandal has proven that even the most ardent salesmen are skeptical. We shouldn’t tread lightly here, fearful of offending mother Earth. Mother Earth has long endured War, dinosaurs and pummeling from massive objects from outer space. It can handle a little extra carbon. The American people, however, cannot withstand a furthering of our recession and the destruction of our standard of living. Our future will be bleak only if we give in to the greenies, not if we reject them.
Climate change is marketing, nothing more. Mother Earth is fine, even if some of the people living on her are a little looney.
