What I find interesting about the man-made global "climate change" movement is that it is MUCH MORE LIKELY that our collective way of life would be more seriously impacted by:
- earthquake
- volcano (and volcanic ash)
- tsunami
- disease epidemic
- war/ social upheaval (see Arab Spring)
- sun spots
- asteriod hitting earth
etc.
The environmentalist movement doesn't fret over this stuff b/c it knows there is NOTHING IT CAN DO about it, even though it is infinitely more likely that one of the above will actually happen. Go ahead - outlaw tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, ugly people, smelly farts. Good luck. Instead, as a political = power movement, it knows that there are great treasures awaiting if it can scare the crap out of everybody by convincing them that WE are to blame of all of this mess, and WE can change our behavior to make things right - in fact, we must be FORCED to change! This is wrong, and I personally won't stand for it.
Perhaps it is an inherently American way of being, as our country was founded on the idea that large, centralized government entities are NOT TO BE TRUSTED, and represent the biggest threat to individual freedom that can exist. The tenor of the global "climate change" movement is unfortunately so militant that it demonstrates exactly what our founding principles were trying to warn us against. Thus the skepticism.
Gibson is getting hosed.
