Placating Lunatics always ends badly

Yesterday I posted another article on just how foolish climate change policies are.  Then later I found this great article.  Gregory Wrightstone correctly points out that there is no reason to make any concessions to the climate change lunatics.  They do not have science on their side.  There is no scientifically defensible reason to prevent the obvious benefits of higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

Dr. William Happer, professor emeritus in the Department of Physics at Princeton University, has coauthored a paper that shows that the greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide is limited to a narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum and cannot cause dangerous heating of the planet.

“Carbon dioxide is completely natural,” he says. “Plants need it to grow. We all breathe out about two pounds of it every day. When people say that we need to remove carbon dioxide from the air, I can’t imagine what they are thinking because today there is not enough carbon dioxide compared to what plants would prefer. We are living in a time of a carbon dioxide famine in the context of geological history. We need more of it not less.

That will sound very familiar to anyone who reads this blog.  There is no downside to higher CO2.  The small amount of warming and increased crop yield from more CO2 will be enormously beneficial to humans and the planet.  We should never have made a single concession to these lunatics but we did and this is what we get.  The county of Oxfordshire is planning to lower carbon emissions by locking people in their neighborhoods.

Oxfordshire County Council yesterday approved plans to lock residents into one of six zones to ‘save the planet’ from global warming. The latest stage in the ’15 minute city’ agenda is to place electronic gates on key roads in and out of the city, confining residents to their own neighborhoods.

This is what you get for trying to placate the left.  If you give the left an inch they will dig mass graves.  The electronic gates are just an intermediate step.  Stand up and push back.  If you don’t, you will corralled by these electronic gates into rail cars that transport you to the mass graves.  The people you elect do not care about you.  They don’t even like you.  Wake up.
