THE NEXT ICE AGE - NOW!

23 Apr 08 - "Global warming does threaten mankind, but the danger lies in the Draconian measures Gore and others demand be taken to prevent a non-existent threat which in themselves imperil our very well being.

"Writes the brilliant humanitarian Paul Dreissen "America is in the throes of a major housing and financial downturn, soaring food and energy costs, rising unemployment and near recession. But legislators, bureaucrats and presidential candidates are falling all over themselves to restrict fossil fuel use, advance climate change legislation –– and thereby increase energy prices, oil imports, and costs for families and businesses."

"He adds "Any climate change regime would impose higher prices and new restrictions on coal-generated electricity, oil and gas drilling, air and ground transportation, and heating, air conditioning, agriculture and manufacturing. In fact, any facility or activity that generates more than 250 tons of carbon dioxide per year could be heavily regulated: bakeries, breweries, soft drink makers, factories, apartment and office buildings, dairy farms and countless others. Permit, regulatory, oversight, anti-fraud monitoring and polar bear endangerment rules would cost billions in still more highly regressive, hidden taxes."

"At this very moment, the world is plunging into a food scarcity crisis that is the direct result of the global warming hysteria. The headlong rush to grow food crops to make ethanol instead of growing crops to feed the world is pushing food prices skyward and creating the threat of famine in third-world countries.

"Just who's responsible for this threat? Wrote Michael S. Berliner, co-chairman of the board of directors of the Ayn Rand Institute in Irvine, California "Heed the words of the consistent environmentalists. 'The ending of the human epoch on Earth,' writes philosopher Paul Taylor in Respect for Nature: A Theory of Environmental Ethics, 'would most likely be greeted with a hearty 'Good riddance!'"

As biologist David M. Graber put it: "Human happiness [is] not as important as a wild and healthy planet . . . . Until such time as Homo sapiens should decide to rejoin nature, some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along."

"Such is the naked essence of environmentalism: it mourns the death of one whale or tree but actually welcomes the death of billions of people. A more malevolent, man-hating philosophy is unimaginable."
