The Classic Con Job of Global Warming

Posted by Gregory of Yardale at December 4, 2009 5:31 AM

Most of us are taught at an early age if something is too good to be true, it probably is. We don't believe you can eat anything you want and still lose weight.We don't believe you can get rich while working at home for just four hours a week. We know these things are scams and con jobs.

It occurred to me while watching this video of a dingbat Global Warming cultist in an ugly blouse whine that Cap and Trade just isn't enough that the Global Warming Hoax had all the classic marks of a con-job from the very beginning.


Confidence tricks exploit typical human qualities such as greed, dishonesty, vanity, honesty, compassion, credulity and naïveté. The common factor is that the mark relies on the good faith of the con artist.

One of the tricks of the con-artist is to tell the mark exactly what the mark wants to hear. Isn't it a remarkable coincidence that the villains in the Global Warming Scam --- western capitalism, oil companies, "polluters" --- are the same people the left has hated since Al Gore was just another chubby rich kid growing up in the Fairfax Hotel. Isn't it just as remarkable that the "solution" to Global Warming involves giving the left's heroes --- environmentalists --- absolute control over the people they hate?

The Global Warming con artists exploit leftist vanity by giving them the most important mission of all --- saving the world. They exploit the naivete of the leftist mark by telling them that climate change has never happened before and it's all because of CO2. They exploit compassion by including a massive transfer of wealth from the advanced world to the third world in their "solution." They exploit the credulity of the leftist mark by telling them climate is too complex to understand, and they have to trust the scientists.

That's where the shills come in.

The confidence trickster often works with one or more accomplices called shills, who help manipulate the mark into accepting the con man's plan.

This is where James Hansen at NASA and the recently busted scienticians at the East Anglia CRU come into play. They give a veneer of legitimacy to the lies spread by the con artists.

And like a classic pyramid scheme, those who get in early and promote the scheme ... Al Gore, for example ... stand to become very, very wealthy as trillions of dollars in carbon credits and completely unnecessary investments in "green technology" flow into the companies they have set up to profit from the hoax. Everybody else gets ripped off and taken to the cleaners.

They would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling kids who got a hold of the emails proving that the specter of Global Warming was just a trick done with an old movie projector. And they tear the mask off of Al Gore to reveal his real identity... Barnie Madoff.

BTW: The Copenhagen Climate Conference is going to produce more atmospheric C02 in twelve days than the entire nation of Morocco does in a year.

We've been thoroughly conned.


Comments

Most people dont know it, but it was a little company called ENRON who first devised carbon credit trading scams. Not to mention ENRONs ties to the Clinton administration in the 90s and the death of Ron Brown.

Controversial 'global warming' Copenhagen conference looms

At the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen "a treaty will be signed," Monckton told a Minnesota Free Market Institute audience at Bethel University in St. Paul.

"Your president will sign it," he said. "Most of the Third World countries will sign it, because they think they're going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regimes from the European Union will rubber-stamp it. Virtually nobody won't sign it."

He has warned the proposal would cede U.S. sovereignty, mandate a massive wealth transfer from the United States to pay reparations for "climate debt" to Third World countries and create a new "world government" to enforce the treaty's provisions.

Meanwhile, as WND reported, documents and e-mails retrieved by a computer hacker from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit indicate top climate-change scientists have manipulated data to hide cooling trends and worked together to marginalize scientists with opposing views.

Climate e-mail hack 'will impact on Copenhagen summit'

Ironically, Annie Ugly-Blouse - the Socialist enviro-weenie - is absolutely right about Cap'n Tax. Not that she gives a damn about the devastating impact on Western Civilization (which she sees as evil, corrupt yada yada), but she HAS recognized what a scam it is.

So, while she longs for "social justice" and redistribution of wealth in the name of Saving the Planet and she worships at the feet of GAIA (her very own organization "Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives" - yes, really), she's obviously incensed by the idea this scam will redistribute the wealth amongst the already-wealthy.

Al Gore Asking $1,200 To Shake His Hand In Copenhagen

Still think there's no money in spreading global warming alarmism?

Well, how'd you like to make $1,200 just for shaking someone's hand and having your picture taken with the sycophant?

This is what Al "I'm Only Doing This To Save The Planet" Gore is charging for such an honor at next week's climate change conference in Copenhagen.

Nice work if you can get it, huh?

The whole enviromentalists movment is based on lies and decite The facts that DDT wasnt harming the birds as RACHEAL CARSON claimed in her book SILENT SPRING and PAUL EHRLICH has been wrong and all his predictions he made in his junk science book THE POPULATION BOMB and AL GORE is also beening lying big time

"Most of us are taught at an early age if something is too good to be true, it probably is."

For example: Some e-mails seem to suggest that a few global warming scientists might be fudging their numbers.

"...tell the mark exactly what the mark wants to hear."

You mean, tell a global warming conspiracy theorist that some e-mails suggest a global warming conspiracy and because of that they can now deny and ignore the documented work of thousands of scientists all over the world?

Isn't it a remarkable coincidence that the villains in "climategate" are the same people the right has hated since Al Gore won an oscar?

Except that no one stands to make billions of dollars from exposing the Global Warming Hoax.

That's where the idiot's attempt to copycat what the smart person says sort of completely falls apart.

Who makes money if proposals to limit CO2 pollution are totally scrapped?

Posted by: Anonymous (Lao's IP Address) at December 4, 2009 11:31 AM


If the C02 limits are scrapped, everyone who was going to be ripped off in higher energy bills will benefit... not just a few scam artists. No one will lose freedom either.

Phil Jones received $20,000,000 in grants from 2002-2006 to study Global Warming. Al Gore has positioned himself to make billions in carbon trading. Powerful incentives to promote a lie.

LOL!! Care to be equally diligent in tracking down name highjacker IP addresses Yardsale? I didn't think so.

Posted by: Lao at December 4, 2009 11:46 AM


I was hoping for an editorial comment Yardale but I see you want to hide. You know perfectly well that I have no problem signing in as Lao and I will happily defend my own words.

You apparently want me to identify myself, and I could understand that if you were also prepared to address the name highjacking issue. I have seen no indication that you are.

Hate to put you to the extra work of looking up IP addresses, but until you show the same inclinations regarding highjackers, you have no credibility.

Posted by: Lao at December 4, 2009 12:16 PM


No comment on how you neo-commies have SCREWED the world, LAO-MAO? That makes you pretty much part of the COVER-UP.

Posted by: KHarn at December 4, 2009 12:53 PM


Oh no, some one jacked Laosy's name!

STFU you whiny pussy bitch.

Posted by: Henry at December 4, 2009 1:52 PM


I'm really getting the impression that Lao loves the attention he gets here. Time and again he whines about the hijacker, but he always comes back. He claims he just wants debate, but Exit Pursued by a Bear answered his question, and Lao's response was to whine about GoY pinning his IP address on his useless anonymous commentary.

NASA has been illegally hiding their GW data from an FOI for over 2 years. The FOI requests are for data and emails. NASA has been implicated in data massage and holds results similar to CRU.
It will be interesting to see how they try to twist out of a similar fate.

Posted by: Fiberal at December 4, 2009 3:05 PM


Tell you what, Lao. If the namejacker ever turns into a whiny little bitch, I'll look into it.

It isn't "documented work", if it cannot be replicated. Not only have they fudged the numbers, they have withheld and destroyed original data. They have wiped the "documented work". Claiming the Moon is filled with custard is not even a theory, if you don't produce data. But, if communists can dismantle the west, with Moon custard, then you better believe it, comrade. All enlightened progressives know that the only science that matters is Marxism. Socialists don't need no stinkin' data. Sentence first. Verdict after. With GIGO results, the Garbage-Out is exposed by examining the Garbage-In. These marxist scienticians avoid this, by providing only the G-O for others to replicate. The G-I having been withheld and/or destroyed, in order to dodge "being discredited" by their critics- their own words, prior to climategate, and not in the emails in question. This is the bottom line, despite the emails, the data is absent, the conclusions fraudulent. It is not science.

It matters not. Good luck to anyone that does. Co2 is not a pollutant.

Whining about namejacking is, I guess, a diversion from when Lao's "arguments" are shown to be retarded.
