Global Warming Hoax Weekly Round-Up, Mar.17th 2011
Question: How does a man like Noam Chomsky carry a reputation as an intellectual when he says something like this about dealing with global warming:
… given the state of the popular movements we have today, we’d probably have a fascist takeover-with everybody agreeing to it, because that would be the only method for survival that anyone could think of. I’d even agree to it, because there’s just no other alternatives right now.”
I’m pretty sure most fascist takeovers had at least some dissenters and it ended badly for them.

As the US economy falters with increasing fuel prices, even Bill Clinton finds current drilling restrictions ridiculous. Clinton may have his faults, but Bubba knows a thing or two about drilling.
Good news for Aussies and Kiwis alike, the pursuit of the green agenda will mean no longer worrying about how to spend discretionary income, because there won’t be any.
A scientist compares the global warming agenda to communist East Germany, and not in the good way:
What is happening with regards to the climate hypothesis today is that profound and far-reaching conclusions are being based on pure suspicions. That’s religion, and not science. There are also many other well-founded hypotheses on climate dynamics that allow completely other conclusions to be drawn. But strangely, they are being massively suppressed – simply because they don’t accommodate the political concept of rescuing the planet. That’s propaganda, manipulation, suppression of the freedom of expression and demagoguery. As ‘an educated citizen of former communist East Germany’, I’m experiencing grand déjà-vu.
Free green energy, isn’t.

Smart power grids are far from smart, unless you mean smart of the Maxwell kind:
The one smart grid that was completed -a small smart grid in Boulder, Colo., called Smart Grid City -came in at $100-million, three times the original cost estimates, and at a cost of $2,000 per billpayer, it has little value to show for itself. Politicians still push the smart grid, but at some point they will need to face reality -the renewable technologies that the smart grid is intended to support, along with the global warming ideology that underpins them, is all but dead.
Nissan Leaf drivers are discovering new and interesting places to stop during their daily commute. Not from choice, but because the range of the vehicle is not as advertised. Perhaps that’s why Ford’s CEO refuses to declare electric as the future for cars. Hey, wasn’t ord the only Big-3 automaker not to need a bail-out? Coincidence?
