Global Warming: More Evidence Emerges That It's a Con

Extortion: In the run-up to the Paris climate talks, poorer nations are agitating for greater reparations from developed nations to pay for their climate "damage." It's further confirmation the warming scare is just a shakedown.

Evidence that man's use of fossil fuels is causing the planet to warm is a shaky proposition, and that's being charitable. In fact, Earth isn't even warming. Temperatures have not increased in any appreciable way in almost two decades.

Yet, according to media reports, some poor countries say they're victims of weather disasters, their residents becoming refugees escaping catastrophe. These nations want the U.S. and other wealthy countries to cough up more than the $100 billion a year that's already been pledged to them to mitigate global warming.

More specifically, they're asking for "additional compensation for weather-related disasters as well as a 'displacement coordination facility' for refugees," says USA Today. "And they want all this to be legally binding as part of the larger anticipated Paris accord."

Of course they do. They know a good racket when then see one. These countries refuse to liberalize their economies based on the successful model that America and other prosperous nations have provided, yet they want what capitalist economies have. Rather than create wealth of their own, they, with the help of Westerners working to tear down free-market capitalism, prefer to appropriate that produced by others.

We've noted that the global warming scare is driven by a religious fervor — and has in fact become a faith for some — as well as an urge to destroy capitalism.

There are also elements who want to use climate change as a nightstick to punish developed nations for having successful economies. It's a way to redistribute wealth on an international rather than national basis.

In the late 1980s — almost 30 years ago — a former Canadian environment minister admitted to the Calgary Herald that it doesn't "matter if the science of global warming is all phony." What matters is that climate change provides "the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world."

The environment? It's a convenient facade to hide a political agenda. Anyone who gets in the way is tarred as a denier of science and menace to nature.

Consequently, the threat of being bullied creates fear and allows the scam to move ahead with minimal resistance. The climate talks set for December will just let those behind the warming scare pretend not to do exactly what they are doing.
