Earth has serious overheating! In a few years, the Arctic ice and snow will melt and most of the creatures will be on the verge of death. The rising sea water will inundate coastal cities such as London, New York, Mumbai, and Kolkata!
This is not sorcerer's nonsense. Former US Vice President Al Gore's "Uncomfortable Truth" environmental propaganda film produced with this content not only won an Oscar, but Al Gore himself also won the "Nobel Peace Prize". As a result, the voice of "the earth is overheating" has heated up globally, reaching the highest point in history.
Is the earth really "hot" to the point of terrifying? The left and right parties in the West started a fierce debate on this. Conservatives believe that the "disturbing truth" is not the overheating of the earth, but the overheating of the leftist's mind. It is an ideological war of the Western leftist forces "against capitalism", which is mainly embodied in three levels:
first, The "global overheating theory" lacks scientific basis.
Last year the British court ruled that if the “disturbing truth” of Gore’s film is shown to students, an instruction must be added to correct the nine obvious mistakes of the film and balance the one-sidedness of “global warming is caused by man”. The rhetoric.
Because whether global warming is caused by natural climate change or industrialization (emission of carbon dioxide), the international scientific community is still inconclusive. Many scientists questioned Gore's theory, because 450 million years ago, the carbon dioxide content in the earth's air was more than ten times higher than today, and during that period, the earth was in its coldest state in 500 million years. This shows that the overheating of the earth is not necessarily caused by the increase in carbon dioxide.
Thirty years ago, scientists also discussed the issue of "global overcooling", worrying that it would pose a threat to human life and the survival of global species. It now appears to be a false alarm. Today, some scientists and environmentalists are worried about global overheating, just like they were worried about global overcooling back then. Just as some people in Europe worried about overpopulation in the 19th century, what should we do if the earth's resources will not feed so many people in the future? Now Europe is beginning to worry about population decline again. There are always people who want to play the role of God, not only wanting to dominate the reproduction of human beings, but also to control the direction of the earth.
In March of this year, British TV Channel 4 broadcasted a documentary on "Global Warming Scam". The film interviewed many world-class scientists and cited a large number of data to show that global warming is caused by changes in solar radiation and humans. Emissions of greenhouse gases have nothing to do. The film unceremoniously pointed out that the so-called "global overheating" is a "big scam." For example, Gore said in the film that the sea level will rise by six meters in the future, and coastal cities such as London, New York, and Mumbai will all be submerged by sea water. This is equivalent to saying that the world's richest and most densely populated river delta will disappear from the earth. When reporters questioned this point, Gore actually defended himself by saying that he was talking about "if" humans emit carbon dioxide without restrictions, and he emphasized that he was using "if." This clearly shows that Gore's so-called "truth" is a "hypothesis", not a fact.
The Danish scholar Bjorn Lomborg has published two monographs criticizing the "global overheating theory" in recent years, which has aroused international attention and controversy. The scholar who was selected as one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World" by Time magazine in the United States said in the latest monograph "Cool It: Questioning Environmentalists' Global Overheating Theory" (Cool It), saying that in human history In China, there are far more deaths due to cold weather than the earth’s overheating. For example, in Greece, 7900 people die each year from the cold, while only 1,400 people die from the heat. Throughout Europe, 1.4 million people die every year due to "overcooling" and 200,000 people due to "overheating". Lomborg quoted experts’ predictions that by 2050, 1.4 million lives will be saved every year due to the overheating of the earth.
Second, the "global overheating theory" is a new ideology.
Among Western leaders, the one who strongly criticized "environmentalism" was Czech President Klaus. Perhaps because he was a dissident who participated in the "Prague Spring" movement and resisted communism, he was more cherished and more sensitive to the value of freedom. He recently published an English monograph "Blue Planet in Green Shackles-What Is Threatened: Climate or Freedom?" ". It clearly pointed out that "the believers of environmentalism are ambitious, trying to fundamentally reorganize and change the world, human society, and our behavior and values." This ideology has "an attempt to manipulate humans" and wants to deprive us of our freedom.
In a speech at the National Press Club of the United States at the end of May this year, Klaus said that he spent most of his growing up under the rule of communist dictatorship. He knew very well how the Communist Party ignored and brutally trampled on human freedom. They not only wanted to Command the people, but also want to control nature. Since he was a child, he remembered the well-known slogan of the Communist Party of "calling the wind and calling the rain". Today’s environmentalists emphasize the overheating of the earth, “just like those communists who firmly believe that they have the right to sacrifice human freedom to turn their ideals into reality.” “In the past, it was in the name of Marxism or the proletariat. In the name of protecting the earth."
Klaus once wrote in the British "Financial Times" that "freedom is facing crisis, not climate", and proposed his solution: there is no need to respond to small climate changes with drastic strict restrictions; any Suppression of freedom and democracy should be avoided; instead of arranging human life from top to bottom, let everyone choose their own life; oppose the politicization of science and scientific consensus, instead of talking about the "environment." It's better to be considerate of the environment in our own behavior; don't scare yourself with warnings of catastrophes, or use such warnings to support irrational interference in human life.
Third, environmentalists such as Gore differ in their words and deeds and are very hypocritical.
Klaus has repeatedly asked for a public debate with Gore on the issue of "overheating the earth," but they have all been rejected. It is possible that Gore was publicly questioned because he was afraid of his "difference in words and deeds". For example, in February 2007, the Associated Press reported that Gore's housing area was four times the average size of newly built houses in the United States last year (2500 square feet)! The report quoted local residents as saying that Gore installed a row of gas lamps and electronically controlled gates in the passage of his yard. The Gore couple's mansion in Tennessee has more than 10,000 square feet, 20 rooms, 8 bathrooms, and a giant electric heated swimming pool. Records from the local power company and the U.S. Department of Energy show that the Gore family devoured 220,000 (kilowatt hours) of electricity last year, which is 20 times the average electricity consumption of American residents! The electricity consumption records also show that after Gore made the documentary, his family's energy consumption has not decreased but increased, from 16,000 per month in 2005 to 18,000 (kilowatt hours) in 2006. The gas charges for the Gore’s mansion and guest rooms averaged US$1,080 per month; last year, the electricity and gas bills of the Gore’s house were as high as US$30,000. Local neighbors said: “Gore screams every day and teaches us how to live, but what he does is another way.”
Not only Gore, but many leftists who chant “environmental protection” are equally hypocritical. For example, director Michael Moore, who also won the Hollywood award from the leftist base camp, went to California to promote his new book according to a report by the US "NewsMax" magazine. He lives in a $1.9 million apartment in Manhattan, New York, and a holiday home worth $1.2 million by Torch Lake in Michigan. And the energy consumption of electricity and other energy in these housing areas seems to be a matter of another planet.
Gore’s friend, Hollywood’s well-known leftist "environmental" actress, Barbara. Barbra Streisand (Barbra Streisand) clamored for others to save water and electricity, but "NewsMax" reported that she spends $22,000 a year to water her own lawn. You can imagine how much water she would use. And her house also has 12,000 square feet of air-conditioned stables.
Therefore, when Gore took back the "Best Documentary Film Award" from Hollywood, local residents ridiculed that these leftists should have received the "Hypocritical Film Award."
