Our Worst Eco-Disaster Is On Its Way

In a 1975 Newsweek article entitled "The Cooling World", Peter Gwynne paints a drab portrait of our future including such tidbits as droughts, floods, delayed monsoons, long freezes and global famine. He was quite certain we were headed for utter devastation saying, "The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard pressed to keep up with it." The cooling was blamed for an outbreak of tornadoes that killed more than 300 people. Peter seemed incensed that government was unwilling to do anything about it. "Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve."
Well, government never did do anything about the global cooling that was predicted to kill us all only 33 years ago. Looking back, it's easy to see that any money spent on stopping global cooling would have been wasted as best. At worst, it would have been spent to dump millions of tons of soot on the arctic ice cap in order to cause it to melt. That seems silly to us now, because we're prepared to spend billions to prevent it from melting.
Does everyone remember the holes we were blowing in the Ozone layer with spray deodorant and air conditioning? The Ozone hole over Antarctica is bigger this year than ever. The brilliant scientists over at the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) are in a mad dash to blame greenhouse gas emissions and the rise in temperature for the widening hole. I suspect the reason for this is because the last two years of cooling have all but wiped out any warming that has taken place. You have to plan for the future and you can't let the multi-billion dollar industry that is enviro-wackoism just fall by the wayside because your lies are exposed. You have to really crack down on the truth-tellers by disseminating more fear and lies, but, what do I know?
What I do know is this, the old deodorant and air conditioners worked better. Lord knows, we are going to need both of those to face the greatest threat of mankind... cow flatulence.
It seems like everything we do, every innovation we make, every freedom we have causes some global crisis. We are cooling, warming, depleting, and otherwise destroying our planet. The only proposals advanced to solve the problem grow government in some shape or fashion. The problem is Capitalism and freedom. The solution is regulation, Socialism, taxes, and tyranny.
Am I the only one who is seeing a pattern here? We give... they take. We create... they destroy. We promote freedom and love... they use those terms to promote subjection and fear.
The only global crisis I am afraid of is the spread of the most deadly and destructive disease ever before seen on Earth. Liberalism harms more than it helps everywhere it is spread. They blame Capitalism and freedom for today's woes; well, I have seen the results of their way of doing things and I feel completely comfortable taking my chances with freedom.
