Global
warming
isn't really
about climate
but about
leftist control freakery,
author, lawyer
and energy expert Steve Milloy
told Breitbart
News Editor-in-Chief
Alex Marlow on
Sirius XM...
Steve Milloy said CO2
emissions are never going to go down because they are a product
of human progress.
But we shouldn't worry
because this is just another sign of rising living standards.
"The bottom line is
'climate' is not about controlling the weather; it's about
controlling you", Milloy told Marlow, in a broad-ranging
discussion about global warming and the hypocrisy of the
environmental movement.
Alex Marlow began by expressing
skepticism about some of the claims made by environmental advocates,
especially the celebrities who insist that the planet is 'doomed'
while continuing to fly everywhere.
His particular obsession,
he said, was the ever-worsening Los Angeles traffic:
Shouldn't the
environmentalists have solved this problem by now?
How did it get to
become so bad that celebrities - such as the Kobe Bryant - now
choose to fly over it in helicopters instead?
Milloy said:
"There is not a
climate bed-wetter who is not a total hypocrite.
They all claim they
are worried about climate change but they don't do anything to
reduce their own emissions. Not that that would make any
difference anyway […]
Emissions are never going to down. Our lives are entirely
dependent on fossil fuels. There is no replacement. Emissions
are going up.
There's nothing
anybody is doing to cut them.
Even when they reduce
their emissions all they're are doing them is transferring them
to China."
But none of this is a
problem because standards of living are continuing to rise and rise,
Milloy said.
By the end of this
century there maybe another five billion people on the planet but
global warming will help rather than hinder them:
the extra warmth and
the
extra atmospheric CO2
are helping to green the planet, meaning that it
is possible to feed more people.
Why then, Marlow asked,
do they keep on telling children that they are "doomed"...?
Milloy said:
Climate change is completely
counterfactual.
There's nothing to
support the narrative. What does the left want? Control over all
our lives...
And part of its
strategy was to start propagandizing children, which they began
15 or 20 years ago to the point where it is second nature to
them to think:
"We are
destroying the planet" […]
It's a form of
psychological warfare. They want it to be on everybody's mind.
Milloy cited the
Australian bush fires as an example of this strategy:
there have been many
bush fires in Australia before (including a particularly
destructive outbreak in 1939) and there is strong evidence that
the latest were exacerbated by arson and by
improper land management.
But it suits the left not
to address these issues because the disaster helps their cause, Milloy observed:
They like to see the
world burning because it plays into their psychological
narrative.
This, Milloy and Marlow
agreed, explains why in California so little has been done to
address the underlying causes of wild fires.
The greenies don't
want to solve the problem because it helps their cause...
Finally, Milloy talked
about
Greta the
Climate Puppet:
She's fronting a
movement and it's hard to know who is behind it.
Angela Merkel,
Chancellor of Germany, german intelligence told her that
[Russian leader Vladimir] Putin was funding this Youth
Climate Strike movement, which Greta fronts…
[…] but you made
a good point at the beginning.
It's really
pathetic that climate has now come down to this 17-year-old
girl who admits that she knows nothing about climate
science.
When she
testified in Congress and they asked her to describe why she
was worried she couldn't […]
It's really
ridiculous...
The faces of the
climate movement are Greta, a 17-year old school drop out who
knows nothing, actors like Leonardo di Caprio and Hanoi Jane
Fonda.
This is supposed to
be a genuine crisis - yet this is who is pushing it...
