"Climate Control" will fail. “Be Prepared and Adapt” is the only Option.
“The climate hysteria created and perpetuated by Western government officials has opened Pandora's Box. What looked to be a valuable policy tool for green protectionism is now threatening to unleash political chaos and economic misery on its creators and their nations. Climate alarmism has turned into a Frankenstein monster that threatens to devour its own designers.”
There are two ways to cope with possible “global warming” – you can try to control the climate and thus change the future, or you can be prepared to adapt to or cope with whatever the future brings. The choice is “Control the Climate” or “Adapt to the Climate”.
“Climate Control” has a number of problems.
Firstly, there is no evidence that man’s activities do indeed control global temperature – all we have are unproven theories and computer model forecasts. Therefore whatever we do may have no effect on climate.
Secondly, we have no reliable forecasts of future climate trends, and it is likely that whatever we do may in fact make things worse. For example, massive moves to extract carbon dioxide plant food from the atmosphere would worsen the food crisis that would accompany acceleration of the current cooling trend.
Thirdly, attempts to affect global production of carbon dioxide would be hugely costly and disruptive to all human activities.
Fourthly, many people will see moderate warming as beneficial for most life on earth.
In summary, “Climate Control” offers zero or perverse results at enormous cost.
In contrast, “Adapt to the Climate” (or “Be Prepared”) has no downside and considerable benefits.
No matter what the future holds, having a stronger and better equipped society will allow it to cope better with whatever natural disaster may be in store for us.
Therefore we must keep pressure on all politicians to reject completely all Emissions Trading, Ration-n-Tax, carbon taxes, ethanol mandates and Renewable Energy Targets.
Every one of these silly policies will make our society economically and industrially weaker and less able to cope with unexpected change. And none will affect the climate.
The next couple of months are crucial, and signs of weakness are appearing everywhere in the Alarmist camp. We must ensure that Frequent Flyer Rudd has NOTHING to take to Copenhagen from the Australian Parliament in December. So please help us to keep the pressure on.
