There are alot of horrible things happening in this world. Worldwide poverty and starvation, genocide, human slavery, women being stoned to death for being raped, people in China being sacrificed for their organs, girls undergoing genital mutilation, etc. Right here in Canada and the US, we have child pornography, pedophiles and violent criminals getting off easy to repeat offend, huge healthcare deficiencies, homeless people who should be in mental health facilities, etc. Environmentally, we have sewage and chemicals being dumped into oceans and rivers, pollution, animal cruelty, etc. I could go on and on about the evils and injustices of the world.
It is because of these issues that I am particularly furious with the whole "theory" of global warming. It has become a religion for enviroradicals and a top priority. How did this happen? A consensus was apparently reached by scientists but that, by no means, enshrines this belief system as fact. I won't get into all the arguments but suffice it to say, this CO2 theory has become a FACT and to question it is heresy. Like Irshad Manji from my previous post, there is something vastly wrong with a "religion" that does not allow open discussion or questioning of it.
The worst thing about this religion is, much like radical Islamist, this belief is being forced on me. Submission is the only answer or you are evil and stupid. This point was raised by Al in a post on a friend's blog and I think it is, unfortunately, true and scary. Submission involves billions of dollars in investment and lost opportunities in our country being excised from our taxes. These dollars are being funnelled in the name of Kyoto to countries throughout the world for not producing and regardless of their stances on human rights. How would you like it if you were forced to contribute billions of your tax dollars to the Catholic church because there is a consensus that God exists and overall, the religion has alot of good in it with the Thou shalt not kill, treat others as yourself, etc. or even worse, another religion in another country?
The worst part about all this is to think of all the good all that energy and money could do for people? Think of all the good all that enery and money could do for our environment? Think of all the people it could feed or areas in Canada that could be preserved. How has a theory trumped all the proven issues we are facing in our country? In a truly free compassionate country, why aren't we fighting Sharia Law instead of imposing Sharia Environmental law? (good point Al!) Since when did this belief trump all other beliefs to the point of "YOU WILL SUBMIT" whether you believe or not.

LOL! If it weren't so pathetic it would be hilarius. There was a piece on CTV tonight about Al Gore and he was introduced by CTV as an enviromental GURU. He said Harpers' plan was a sham and congradulated Suzuki for taking a position against it. So what's the next step up from GURU? God, of course. Mr. Gore could use his home as the enviromental temple and all the movie stars could fly there in their jets every Sunday for services.
This entire thing is shaping up to be the modern day equivalent of a lynch mob, a lot of emotion and little concern for consequences and who may be harmed.
