Chickens coming home to roost? Uh, huh. Mark Steyn sums it up in several succint paragraphs…

The biofuels debacle is global warm-mongering in a nutshell: The first victims of poseur environmentalism will always be developing countries. In order for you to put biofuel in your Prius and feel good about yourself for no reason, real actual people in faraway places have to starve to death. On April 15, the Independent, the impeccably progressive British newspaper, editorialized:

“The production of biofuel is devastating huge swaths of the world’s environment. So why on Earth is the government forcing us to use more of it?”

You want the short answer? Because the government made the mistake of listening to fellows like you. Here’s the self-same Independent in November 2005:

“At last, some refreshing signs of intelligent thinking on climate change are coming out of Whitehall. The Environment minister, Elliot Morley, reveals today in an interview with this newspaper that the Government is drawing up plans to impose a ‘biofuel obligation’ on oil companies … . This has the potential to be the biggest green innovation in the British petrol market since the introduction of unleaded petrol.”  ~ocregister.com

The global warming movement demands action be taken now! No, the evidence isn’t completely conclusive yet, but we can’t afford to wait they say. Unfortunately when we take action before we know exactly what’s going on unforeseen consequences are going to reverberate.

“Uh, whoops. I can explain…”

Guns are good for society.

Despite the fact there are more than 200 million guns in circulation, there is a certain tranquility and civility about American life. ~news.bbc.co.uk

Wow! LGF, my hero: Obama’s official blogger: A hardcore Marxist

Great post.

It’s called Plan B from planet 9… or something like that… Plan B 3.0 is a blueprint for total planetary transformation, or transfiguration perhaps.

It’s time for Plan B — an all-out response at wartime speed proportionate to the magnitude of threats facing civilization.

The four overriding goals of PLAN B 3.0 are to stabilize climate and population, eradicate poverty, and restore the earth’s damaged ecosystems. Failure to reach any one of these goals will likely mean failure to reach the others as well. ~alternet.org

And the article is ominously titled: “How Many Earth Days Do We Have Left? …PLAN-B 3.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization, the newest book by Lester Brown — available as a free download at earthpolicy.org.”

This is a good summary of the social engineering goals of the Global Warming movement which is essentially a new marketing campaign for communism.

We used to think about saving the planet, and that’s still essential, but what’s really at stake now is civilization itself. ~Lester Brown

War footing. Command Economy. Eliminating poverty. Creating an equal distribution of property.

McNALLY: In terms of transforming our industries, you point to World War II, which you lived through.

BROWN:

In his State of the Union address one month after Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt announced that we were going to produce 25,000 tanks, 60,000 planes, 20,000 artillery planes. It was extraordinary. No one had ever seen arms production like this.

Then he called in the leaders of the auto industry and said, “Guys, guess what, we’re going to ban the sale of private automobiles in the United States.” The automobile industry had no choice but to switch to producing arms. And we didn’t produce just the 60,000 planes, which was the goal, we produced 229,000. We exceeded every one of those arms production goals.

The same story over and over again. We need the leadership and the will to embark on a new path of change. ‘Another world is possible‘.

We have it in our power to restructure the world energy economy and avoid disastrous climate change. All we need is the leadership, the vision, and the will.

Apparently all we need is someone willing to take charge and command change.

Is this new Democrat talk or just calculated bluster?

On the eve of the Pennsylvania primary, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., tells “Good Morning America” she would “obliterate” Iran if they attacked Israel.
