During the pre-Columbian era, human sacrifice in Maya culture was the ritual offering of nourishment to the gods. Blood was viewed as a potent source of nourishment for the Maya deities, and the sacrifice of a living creature was a powerful blood offering. By extension, the sacrifice of human life was the ultimate offering of blood to the gods, and the most important Maya rituals culminated in human sacrifice. — Link
In 2009, the new leadership of the EPA proposed that the White House declare carbon dioxide a health danger. Carbon dioxide, which plants absorb and animals exhale, was thereby ruled a pollutant.
It is a lie and fraud. You can't live without carbon dioxide and you can't live without water. Never mind that virtually all greenhouse gases (97%+) consist of water vapor. Water vapor, not carbon dioxide.
But since the climate globalists can't measure water vapor and condensation, they attempt to wrestle control of carbon dioxide instead, by claiming it's toxic. But the point is, they want to control you.
William Kovacs, vice president of environmental technology and regulatory affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, stated such an effort would be "devastating to the economy... once the finding is made, no matter how limited, some environmental groups will sue to make sure it is applied to all aspects of the Clean Air Act."
The economy is on life support, so what does the climate activist do? He grabs more power. Because they don't care about the economy, they care about power! They're not about preserving or improving our society, they're bent on destroying it.
What does the hard left, environmentalist believe? I want you to know that they are responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of children all over Africa and Southeast Asia. Because they successfully banned DDT.
DDT saved hundreds of millions of lives. DDT was used in the United States to destroy malaria.
National Park Service ecologist David Graber, writing in The Los Angeles Times in 1989, well articulated the perversity of the extreme environmental movement.
He wrote, "we contaminated the planet with atmospheric hydrocarbons and metals beginning in the Industrial Revolution."
"The atomic age wrote another indelible signature in radio-isotopes on every bit of the Earth's surface... DDT and its kin appear even in Antarctic ice. I, for one, cannot wish upon my children or the rest of Earth... a human-managed planet, be it monstrous or, however unlikely, benign."
"I am not interested in the utility of a particular species or free-flowing river ecosystem to mankind..."
"...They have intrinsic value, more value to me than another human body or a billion of them."
"Human happiness and certainly human fecundity, are not as important as a wild and healthy planet," wrote Graber. "I know social scientists remind me that people are part of human nature, but it isn't true. Somewhere about a billion years ago... we quit the contract and became a cancer."
"We have become a plague upon ourselves and upon the Earth..."
"...Until such time as Homo sapiens should decide to rejoin nature, some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along."
The extreme environmentalist prays for the end of humanity.
More than a decade ago, Tina Rosenberg of The New York Times wrote, "Today, westerners with no memory of malaria often assume it has always been only a tropical disease. But malaria was once found as far north as Boston and Montreal. Oliver Cromwell died of malaria, and Shakespeare alludes to it (as ''ague'') in eight plays..."
"...Malaria no longer afflicts the United States, Canada and Northern Europe in part because of changes in living habits -- the shift to cities, better sanitation, window screens. But another major reason was DDT, sprayed from airplanes over American cities and towns while children played outside."
In 1970, the National Academy of Sciences wrote in a report that ''to only a few chemicals does man owe as great a debt as to DDT'' and it credited the insecticide with preventing as many as 500,000,000 human deaths.
Let me repeat that: DDT may have saved half a billion lives.
But all of that changed in 1962, when Rachel Carson -- a rabid opponent of pesticides -- succeeded in spreading widespread hysteria about DDT's effects on wildlife and especially children. In her book Silent Spring, Carson decried the use of DDT.
She claimed DDT resulted in birth defects and mental retardation... and, yet, not one case has ever been proven. Not one.
Thus, it is a sickening irony that Carson's focus on children helped kill the use of DDT, when malaria causes the deaths of millions of children in the developing world.
You see, the developing world is the target of the “environmentally-conscious” Climate Alarmist. For it is there that they can more easily shape policy and control lives.
Significantly, the mainstream media incuriously gobbled up Carson's lies. The Environmental Defense Fund and the Sierra Club brought litigation to pressure the government to ban DDT.
An administrative law judge heard the case for months -- and ruled against the extremists. He said that DDT was not a carcinogenic hazard to man; that it was not a mutagenic hazard to man. He said the use of DDT does not have deleterious effects on freshwater fish, organisms, wild birds, or the wildlife, let alone human beings.
But the judge's ruling was rejected by the EPA administrator in 1972, William Ruckleshaus. He attended no hearings and reportedly never read the relevant documents. Evidence was later discovered that Ruckleshaus had a fatal conflict-of-interest: he served as a fundraiser for the Environmental Defense Fund, the very group spearheading the anti-DDT campaign.
Finally, in 2006, after tens of millions of children had died, the World Health Organization changed its position on DDT.
The Enviro-Statists are responsible for the needless deaths of tens of millions of children from malaria, typhus and other diseases that could and were wiped out in other locations -- safely! -- by DDT.
In World War II, U.S. troops used to lather up with DDT. Decades ago, Dr. J. Gordon Edwards wrote: "[In 1944,] I was ordered to dust every soldier in our company with [DDT]. For two weeks I dusted the insecticide on soldiers and civilians, breathing the fog of white dust for several hours each day. The body lice were killed, and the DDT persisted long enough to kill young lice when they emerged from the eggs... Fortunately, no human beings have ever been harmed by DDT."
The Sierra Club and the rest of the Enviro-Statists have never apologized for the tens of millions of needless deaths caused by their genocidal policies. Because, like Graber, the extremists seek the eradication of the human cancer.
Because that is the religion of environmentalism: and global warming (nee climate change) is no different.
The Enviro-Globalist seeks to destroy our economy and our way of life.
These are people that do not care about the misery they spread. They are doing this to control mankind and make humans poorer... because they believe you and I are cancers.
If there is global warming, humans have virtually no control over it, sans a global nuclear conflict.
The sun is a massive fireball, constantly changing its output of energy, warming and cooling the Earth as it waxes and wanes. And yet our bureaucracy marches on, no matter how cold the winters, no matter how clear the evidence.
Natural events play a far larger role than anything humans can do.
Consider volcanic eruptions.
The Enviro-Globalists believe that cows’ farts must be restricted to save the planet.
But a single volcanic eruption emits more deadly gasses than every cow fart in history.
The volume of expelled material [from a volcano] is staggering. The escaping gasses could even impact the global climate.
But notwithstanding reality, the EPA still issued a finding to the President that states that carbon dioxide -- which can't be any more of a pollutant than oxygen or water -- is toxic! And so the Enviro-Globalist continues to grab our industry by the throat to crush the economy and impoverish mankind.
They were wrong about DDT... and they're just as wrong about climate change, or global warming, or whatever the hell it is they call it these days.
As Michael Shellenberger observes:
…global elites are demanding that poor nations in the global south forgo fossil fuels, including natural gas, the cleanest fossil fuel, at a time of the worst energy crisis in modern history. None of this has stopped European nations from seeking natural gas to import from Africa for their own use…
…The IMF wants to hold hostage $50 billion as part of a “Resilience and Sustainability Trust” that will demand nations give up fossil fuels and thus their chance at developing. Such efforts are working. On Thursday, South Africa received $600 million in “climate loans” from French and German development banks that can only be used for renewables. The Europeans hope to shift the $7.6 billion currently being invested by South Africa in electricity infrastructure away from coal and into renewables...
Like the Mayans, globalists are willing to sacrifice billions of lives in the developing world.
As usual, the extremists are wrong. To paraphrase the immortal George Carlin: “The Earth ain’t goin’ away, we are.”
Solar cycles, volcanic eruptions and natural disasters are completely unpredictable and vastly more impactful to the climate than humanity ever will be.
I suggest that each of us reject the genocidal agenda of the New Mayans: the Enviro-Globalists.
Based upon The Mark Levin Show, 3/25/2009:
"The Enviro-Statist poses as a defender of clean air, clear water, penguins, seals, polar bears, glaciers, the poor, the Third World, and humanity itself... But he is already responsible for the death and impoverishment of tens of millions of human beings in the undeveloped world." -- Mark Levin, Liberty and Tyranny.
The entire “Clomate Change” dogma, in all its manifestations over the last 4 or 5 decades, always brings to mind these words of CS Lewis:
“My contention is that good men (not bad men) consistently acting upon that position [imposing “the good”] would act as cruelly and unjustly as the greatest tyrants. They might in some respects act even worse. Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under of robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber barons cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some points be satiated; but those who torment us for their own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to heaven yet at the same time likely to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on the level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.“
I believe there may be some sincere believers in all this clomate fear mongering, but on the whole, it is nothing more than a cloak for absolute tyranny by a gang who have an unquenchable lust for absolute power.
“ From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
-James 4:1-4
The whole Climate Gang have cloaked themselves in virtue and goodness, “for the sake of the planet and mankind!”
To be against that, well, it makes you no more than some kind of heathen.
Clever that.
