Another Strange Definition for the Word "Opportunity"

President-elect Barack Obama met with the carbon-Nazi, er… I mean, former Vice President Al Gore, to discuss how much of an opportunity global warming is. According to the AP, Obama said, [Global Warming is] “not only a problem, but it's also an opportunity." Just imagine how wonderfully the economy will be stimulated by a bunch of government-works jobs funded by taxpayer dollars. I just now closed my eyes to try to imagine the bliss and a gruesome visage popped into my head. I think it was FDR.

I’m pretty sure it’s mathematically impossible to spend your way out of debt. When I make less money, I spend less to make up the difference. Using taxpayer money to fund so-called “green jobs” in an attempt to stimulate the economy is unviable at best and dangerous for our nation’s security at worst. It’s like borrowing $100 from your friend because you owe him $50.

The AP also quoted Obama as saying, "We all believe what the scientists have been telling us for years now, that this is a matter of urgency and national security, and it has to be dealt with in a serious way,"

The scientists are saying this is a matter of national security? Which scientists are those? The ongoing “Global Warming Petition Project” has over 31,000 scientists which have signed the following petition:

We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.

There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.

Has Obama or the carbon-Nazi spoken to any one of these scientists? I think not!
