Bloomberg Says Global Warming As Dangerous As Terrorism

Well, I don't believe I have ever heard it claimed that wealth is a substitute for brains. It is clearly not the case in Bloomberg's case.

Now that the data are beginning to turn against the Global Warming Hysterics and their doom and gloom predictions, it's about time for the clueless politicos to jump on the sinking AGW ship. Now it is Mayor of New York, gun confiscator extrordinaire, and all around billionaire Liberal, Michael Bloomberg adding his hysteria to the Chicken Littles of the Left. This from the New York Sun:

Mayor Compares Threat of Global Warming to Terrorism

UNITED NATIONS — While he acknowledged that scientists are unable to predict its consequences, Mayor Bloomberg yesterday compared the scourge of global warming to the threat of terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Although it is a "long-term" fight, he said, reducing gas emissions may save the life of "everybody" on the planet, the same way that fighting terrorism and its proliferation saves lives in shorter terms.

Addressing a U.N. climate change conference, the mayor also announced a new plan to reduce the use of tropical hardwoods by New York City and told delegates that the city plans to host a meeting in June of leaders from 20 major world cities to discuss ways for the largest municipalities to reduce global warming. Other participants in the conference called for a "war" against climate change, in which the United Nations would serve as a front-line combatant.

Mr. Bloomberg renewed his call, made first late last year, for taxing countries such as America that emit large amounts of carbons, which are believed to cause changes in the planet's climate. "So long as there's no penalty or cost involved in producing greenhouse gases, there will be no incentive" to meet targets set by international institutions, the mayor told the General Assembly. "For that reason, I believe the U.S. should enact a tax on carbon emissions.

"Terrorists kill people. Weapons of mass destruction have the potential to kill an enormous amount of people," Mr. Bloomberg told reporters after addressing the U.N. General Assembly, but "global warming in the long term has the potential to kill everybody."

Says Bloomberg: "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" as temperatures in the Northeast plunge to record lows. Liberalism is not only, as Michael Savage avers, "A Mental Disorder," it's a decadent religion as well.

As more and more scientist are coming out in protest against the rush to bankrupt America to combat the Chimera called Anthropogenic Global Warming, the dire warnings and hysteria coming from the troglodytes of the AGW movement will continue to ratchet up. Afterall, those so-called scientist who hitched their stars to this slug have, as Mel Brooks so succinctly put it in his role of Governor LePetamaine for the movie Blazing Saddles, "got to protect [their] phoney baloney jobs."

I expect a pronouncement of the iminent demise of the entire human civilization due to 400 foot tidal waves to emanate from the confines of former Vice President and current prima donna of the AGW crowd Albert Gore, Jr.'s monster carbon dioxide producing complex in Tennessee any day now.

It is ever the same with doom and gloomers. The more information becomes available that their pet theories are bunk, the more strident and urgent their proclaimations of iminent peril become.

The fun never stops with these Liberal geniuses.

Long Live Our American Republic!!!
