We rarely get to see something this delightful.
The global warming movement is losing traction. It is becoming yesterday's news. But yesterday is a lot longer than we normally think.
The reality is this: these people do not have a prayer, not even to Gaia. To enforce these measures on the world, there would have to be an enforcement agency. There is only one candidate: the United Nations. The UN is a toothless, feckless hodgepodge of time-serving bureaucrats. It has little money, no power, and almost no influence.
If the anti-manufacturing global warmers' agenda is ever enforced in the United States, China will gain the upper hand in manufacturing. Or, better put, gain even more of an upper hand.
China's manufacturing empire pollutes more than any other on earth. The government's spokesmen talk endlessly about cleaning up the atmosphere, Real Soon Now, but the government does not enforce anti-pollution laws whenever enforcement threatens industrial output. Here is a recent report. The government wants output. It wants high employment. It knows that most citizens want jobs more than clean air. China is going to pollute and pollute and pollute until the flatulent cows come home.
If the greens ever get a political majority in this country, it will not last long. American industry will suffer, American employment will suffer, and the Chinese will enter into the export markets that the new regulations will block to American manufacturers. American voters will then exact political revenge on the greens.
There is no possibility that the global warming agenda is going to be widely enforced in our lifetimes. These people have bet on the wrong political pony.
This will be good for the environment. Eras of global warming have been eras of great agricultural productivity.
