All too often, we have all seen the same old scene being played out. Al Gore (figuratively) dons his not-so-little "Chicken Little" costume and begins running around and wildly screaming: "The ice is melting. The ice is melting."
As long as I can remember, the believers in Global Warming have been predicting the eventual sales of ocean front property in the heart of downtown Manhattan or at the foothills of the San Bernadino Mountains in Southern California. That's because they all believe that Global Warming will cause the unbridled loss of sea ice and it will flood the shorelines of America and the rest of world as the level of the earth's oceans rise as much as 30, 60, or 90 feet or more; depending on how outrageous the "warmists" feel that day and depending upon which flawed Global Warming study they most recently read.
For years, all those left-wing scientists of the Global Warming ilk have had their tape measures out, along with their mighty magnifying glasses, and they have measured every drip, drip, drip of melting sea ice around the world.They have sounded the alarms over the devastating floods that are "sure" to come. Then, the liberal news media gives them cover with op-ed's and news stories that support their predicted doom. Our nightly news teams will run stories along with videos of massive chunks of ice that are falling off of glaciers and dumping into our seas; even though these "ice events" have being occurring, over-and-over, for thousand of years.
Amid all these efforts towards their "hopeful" destruction of the earth due Global Warming, they seem to have a blind eye when the news is a lot more contrary to their ideological beliefs and their "Ice Is Melting!" rantings.
In reality, the sea ice, around the world, has returned to levels not seen since 1979 (Click to See Full Story: "Sea Ice Ends Year at Same Level as 1979"). This is "the" report you will "never" hear or see on NBC/MSNBC or read in the New York Times. Instead, all you will ever hear is those stories that would "support" the ideological march to "Cap and Trade" and other clamp-downs on human activity.
Then, too, there was this little news flash that was published in April of this year: "Antarctic ice is growing, not melting away". Since Antarctica has 90% of the world's ice, you would have thought this story would really get some press. However, once again, it wasn't even reported by any of the major news media outlets of this nation; except, of course, by the chief political nemesis of Obama and the Democrats: Fox News (Click to See Full Story).
The "real story" is that these two stories tell the real truth behind the Global Warming movement. The fact that these stories of ice expanding are being ignored by the liberal media just shows that there is an ideological agenda being promoted and, that there might not be any real or immediate threat to humanity.
As I have said all along, it isn't really about the science. It's all about the environmentalists using CO2 and Global Warming as the tool to stop human activity and any further expansion into nature.
Even the health care bill in Congress has a Global Warming component. When I wrote "Is A Real-Life Soylent Green Society Just Around The Corner?", I was primarily talking about a green adviser to Gordon Brown, Jonathon Porritt, in the United Kingdom who believes that the population must be cut in half to save the planet. But, since then, it appears that Obama has hired his own possible "Soylent Green" believing Czars: Anthony Jones, Ezekiel Emmanuel, Carol Browner, and John Holdren. Each of these people seem to have similar beliefs (more or less) that mankind should be controlled or even eliminated. And, all might have had some role in advising Obama and Congress on health care.
I guess I'm a little tired of the constant push by the left to say that Global Warming is a "settled science" and that there should be no further debate. But, as I pointed out above, nothing could be farther from the truth. The science clearly shows that nothing is "settled" on Global Warming.
