Weirdly Disrupting

Man is causing the globe to warm up, we're told by our green scolds. I mean, other than for the last dozen years or so, when temperatures have been largely flat--despite that man-caused increase in carbon dioxide levels that are supposed to increase temperatures.

So what's an anti-freedom statist to do when the globe isn't justifying your power grab?

Why, switch back to the worry about global cooling!

The 58th Bilderberg Meeting will be held in Sitges, Spain 3 – 6 June 2010. The Conference will deal mainly with Financial Reform, Security, Cyber Technology, Energy, Pakistan, Afghanistan, World Food Problem, Global Cooling, Social Networking, Medical Science, EU-US relations. [emphasis added]

Huh. A high-powered and connected group will slide on to the next reason to deny us freedom of choice in our daily lives.

With the planet cooling, a whole lot of people will be able to thank me for continuing to use those planet destroying incandescent light bulbs, I guess.

On the bright side, Al Gore and Thomas Friedman can live in huge mansions and jet around at will without worrying about all that guilt that they are destroying the planet.

Of course, there is a complication. Will those folks living a carbon neutral lifestyle be the new planet rapers who must be tried for their crimes against the planet?
