What is there
not to like about Emperor Obama's global warming plan, which he submitted to
the United Nations on Tuesday?
It's going to
directly cost hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars, untold billions or
trillions more in economic growth.
White
House flying monkeys have already announced it's going to be put into place by
a series of executive orders and agency-level rules that His Majesty will pluck
out of the executive filing cabinet -- you know, the one Obama sits on?
The
rules will raise the costs of oil and gasoline; reduce your freedom to
travel; keep you colder in winter, hotter in summer; raise the cost and
lower the accessibility of electrical power; eliminate jobs, particularly in
the energy industry and have you living like a virtual caveman.
And for all
that low, low cost, you will see a potential drop of 0.001 degrees Celsius in
annual warming -- a potential savings of one-tenth of a degree over a short
little century.
Of course, that
makes at least two very generous assumptions, the first being that the
warmistas are to some extent correct in having observed one or two degrees
actual average warming over the past century and that therefore the relationship
between carbon dioxide and warming is valid and potentially calculable.
The
second big assumption is that, despite the past 15 years of "hiatus,"
there actually is a global warming trend going on that will at some point
resume, as opposed to the multi-decadal cycle of cooling some scientists are
predicting.
And realize --
this can't be stressed enough -- Obama's plan would not cool the planet one
lick; it just might slow any warming by one-thousandth of a degree per year.
Even
that's pretty generous, because if you crunch the numbers yourself, add up the
human contribution to the total amount of CO2 produced naturally by the Earth
each year and compare to the actual claims and predictions of warming by the
bad-science crowd, one-thousandth to a few thousandths of a degree of warming
is about what could actually be attributed to humans over the course of more
than 100 years -- maybe.
All of which is
to say that taxing future generations into extreme poverty and bringing a halt
to human progress is totally worth it to save the Earth from having more free
water for agriculture and drinking, and to keep rich people's beachfront
properties above sea level.
