Global Warming: OUT Climate Change: IN

Here's a fun exercise: Try to note the shift in language being employed by those who are desperately trying to jam their grand social engineering experiment disguised as reverent regard for the sacred environment down our throats. Increasingly, it seems that "climate change" is being substituted for "global warming." You see, with climate change any outcome is possible; even cooling in the Antarctic, snow in Buenos Aires and a decrease in hurricane activity.

Antarctica is getting colder. Neither the intensity nor the frequency of hurricanes has increased. The 2007 season was the third-quietest since 1966. In 2006 not a single hurricane made landfall in the U.S.

South America this year experienced one of its coldest winters in decades. In Buenos Aires, snow fell for the first time since the year 1918. Dozens of homeless people died from exposure. In Peru, 200 people died from the cold and thousands more became infected with respiratory diseases. Crops failed, livestock perished, and the Peruvian government declared a state of emergency.

Since any outcome is possible, it means one can never be wrong, which means never having to apologize for anything. It's a good thing too, because that means we do not have to be concerned with this report from the U.N. Bali Climate conference:

The air-conditioning system installed to keep more than 10,000 delegates cool used highly damaging refrigerant gases - as lethal to the atmosphere as 48,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, and nearly the equivalent of the emissions of all aircraft used to fly delegates to Indonesia.

Staff from Australia's Natural Refrigerants Transition Board and the London- and Washington-based Environmental Investigation Agency noticed the stockpiled cylinders of hydrochlorofluorocarbons - a refrigerant likely to be phased out over the next few years because it devours ozone in the upper atmosphere.

In addition, the refrigerant is a potent greenhouse gas, with each kilogram at least as damaging as 1.7 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

Investigators at the Balinese resort complex at Nusa Dua counted 700 cylinders of the gas, each of them weighing 13.5 kilograms, and the system was visibly leaking.

It also means, thankfully, we can keep our democracy; for now at least:

Hillman, senior fellow emeritus at the Policy Studies Institute, says carbon rationing is the only way to ensure that the world avoids the worst effects of climate change. And he says that the problems caused by burning fossil fuels are so serious that governments might have to implement rationing against the will of the people.

"When the chips are down I think democracy is a less important goal than is the protection of the planet from the death of life, the end of life on it. This has got to be imposed on people whether they like it or not."

I'd like to see the army made up of listless, Birkenstock-clad, overly idealistic, cocksure soldiers marching arm-in-arm with the limo-lib/Hollywood elite "special forces" Dr. Hillman would raise to impose his carbon rationing policy on us infidels. At least he's honest in revealing that fighting global warming, sorry, I mean fighting climate change, is really just warmed-over nihilistic Marxism.
