Reach for your wallet; you’re being had

By Harold Satterfield

The whole climate change issue is ginned up by politicians in an attempt to raise taxes, transfer wealth, and increase control over the populace in general. They’re saying, in effect, “It’s an EMERGENCY, stupid! Give us everything we ask for so we can save you!” In fact they care for nothing other than increasing their own power.

Whether or not it’s an emergency, and if so what’s causing it, are at best debatable. To paraphrase Michael Crichton, the claim of consensus is historically the first refuge of scoundrels.

When someone claims consensus, that the matter is settled, and there’s no room for debate, reach for your wallet; you’re being had.
