There are many types of “Fakes” and “Fakery,” in the world today, and for that matter, throughout history. I’ve been through fake money many times, which are un-backed paper currencies as seen throughout the world since paper and the printing press were invented. The cure for that, is real money in the form of silver and gold, which we do for 1% over our cost including shipping to you. But there are other fakes around, and they continue to proliferate. I will now go into two of them if I can skip economics for a week.
A decade ago, we had the ozone cloud fakery if I can refresh your memory a bit. White robed, degreed, ‘scientists’ informed the world that the ozone cloud had a hole in it, and we were all doomed unless we did something to correct this heavenly catastrophe which was upon us. Their solution, of course, would cost a bundle, but it seems as though all such fakery costs an arm and a leg, but in this case it cost our refrigeration systems. All of the then current air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers, would simply have to get rid of that old fashioned Freon and substitute the ‘new’ Freon which they had invented, and which would cure that dastardly hole in the ozone cloud. Hundreds of billions of needless dollars were spent, totally changing one refrigerant for another, and guess what? That hole in the ozone cloud remains, it’s probably been there for a million years, and we’re far poorer than before. No one ever hears of that contemptible, pusillanimous, ozone threat and solution any longer. Gee Dad, were we fooled? Yup.
Tomfoolery still exists, and currently it is in the form of “Climate Change.” Al Gore got rich off of it, won a Nobel Prize and an Academy Award for his absurd, lying film. All over the world, kids and adults are parading and demonstrating. Streets and highways are blocked and dire threats are shouted to legislators to do something. The solar and windmill businesses are thriving, and the world’s unthinking, non-reading, TV watching, idiots are all on the bandwagon. Nothing seems to be enough to stop the earth from warming! God help us, because we’re going to roast, all the icebergs will melt, and cities will be flooded. Millions will die unless we all do what is necessary to stop the climate from changing and the earth warming. I’m sure you’re all familiar with the endless warnings.
Guess what. There are from 60 to 80 volcano eruptions each year on earth, and one of the several bigger ones would emit more carbon dioxide and heat than a thousand years of human anti-climate change actions. Here’s another fact you might remember if you are even middle age. Back in the 1970’s the same white robed, degreed ‘scientists’ declared that the earth was cooling and we were possibly entering into a modern day ice age. No kidding! I remember it well. Here’s another fact: Since 1850, the earth’s temperature has risen 1.8 degrees, and throughout history, this is not at all unusual. Current ‘scientists’ have drilled down into Arctic ice till they say they have reached ice from 10 million years ago, and have plucked a piece of it from their drill bit, and they say the air had far less carbon dioxide than our current air does. The chunk of ice supposedly had 10 million year old air in it, if you can believe such nonsense. The same goofies also insist that the universe happened by a huge “Big Bang,” because the idea of a Supreme Being and creation is un-thinkable. I say their chunk of ice and big bang is so absurd that an animated film or comic book artist would have difficulty in drawing it, or even conceiving of it. All recorded history shows that the carbon dioxide levels have always been from 3.5 to 4.0 % of our air. The more there is, the better, because trees and plants need it to grow. More ‘scientists’ have found a way to compress carbon dioxide, turn it into a solid and bury it to get it out of our way. Wow!
All the predictions of icebergs melting and cities being washed away have never come true, and there are more polar bears than ever. The climate is not changing and warming. Silverton Colorado has already had over 240 inches of snow, and it will snow into late May. No climate change there, and where we live 56 miles away from Silverton, we have had a normal winter of less than 10 inches of snow. In the last two weeks, huge blizzards have traveled across the northern US, and this is in April! Even climatologists admit that there has been no temperature change for the last 18 years. All this climate change and earth warming, is merely fakery and inventions by those who want to sell stuff and get paid for creating alarms. What will they come up next, after the ‘climate change’ calamity howlers have gone away? Hoola Hoops and Cabbage Patch Dolls were fun, and didn’t threaten the economy of the Earth like this climate change nonsense does. Someone invent a new toy. That would be a lot cheaper than the climate change nonsense, which will eventually become just another hole in the ozone cloud or that we’re entering a new ice age. – don@coloradogold.com
