Global warming goes Orwell

Global warming proponents will stop at nothing to get control of the world's energy and prosperity at the UN global warming summit opening in Paris this week. The Paris UN Climate Conference, known as COP-21, represents a historic opportunity to put the world on course to meet the climate change challenge. But how is it that temperature satellites can find no global warming since the last El Niño ocean event at the end of the 20th century?

The most embarrassing and inconvenient truth for the cause of climate alarmism is the fact that there has now been no "global warming" for 18 years and six months. Not only does this contradict all the doom-laden climate models cited in the various reports of the UN Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change, where none of them predicted the so-called "pause," but it also means that not one of the kids in school being fed climate propaganda by their on-message teachers has ever personally lived during a time of global warming.

As Princeton physicist Dr. Will Happer stated, "Politics to slow CO2 emissions are really based on nonsense. We are being led down a false path. To call carbon dioxide a pollutant is really Orwellian. You are calling something a pollutant that we all produce. Where does that lead us eventually?"

If COP-21 should succeed in its goals, expect a raise in taxes, an increase in energy costs and the destruction of jobs, perhaps even your job or those of your children.

Heed the words of George Orwell: "Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past."

It appears we can no longer have confidence in the researchers who have been appointed to "control the present" at our scientific institutions.
