RUSH: You know, one of the things that consistently bothers me, and has for the length of time I\u2019ve been hosting this program, is this whole discussion of global warming. Now, stick with me on this. I\u2019ve been through this, but there\u2019s a new development out there. We touched on it a little bit last week, and there\u2019s even more news about it today. We have people who believe in — to me — a very conflicting view that they have. On the one hand we are awesomely powerful people. Why, just by virtue of our inventions we can destroy the ecosystem, air conditioners, automobiles, jet planes, who knows, that can destroy the ecosystem. We couldn\u2019t create if we wanted to. We couldn\u2019t create this miracle if we had the best minds pooled into one brain, we can\u2019t do it — and yet using the tools we were given as part of creation, we can destroy it? Unh-uh. I don\u2019t buy it. Even nuclear weapons wouldn\u2019t destroy it. It would just redefine it. Might destroy us. But it wouldn\u2019t destroy this — and life would go on, and it would metamorphosis and it would come up in different forms, but it would not be destroyed. Not suggesting we annihilate anybody. I\u2019m just trying to make a point here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>On the other hand, after they say that, they proclaim us — and, by the way, we\u2019re so powerful we can\u2019t cut down trees, we might be destroying the cure for AIDS in there, but the tree can\u2019t tell us it\u2019s there. We have to find it. Yet we\u2019re incompetent at the same time. We\u2019re incapable; we\u2019re incompetent; we\u2019re just a bunch of boobs; we don\u2019t know what\u2019s best for us, but we can destroy the environment. So we\u2019ve had this global warming argument, going on since 1975. If you go back and look at a Newsweek cover in 1975<\/a>, there was a panic story on global cooling. We were heading into an ice age in \u201975. Then somebody got hold of the idea that politically that wouldn\u2019t make any sense. “If we say there\u2019s global warming and blame humanity for it, who do we actually blame? Who\u2019s doing all this inventing? Who\u2019s doing all this technological advancement? It\u2019s the United States.” You can\u2019t say, given their theory that anyplace in Africa or central or South America is destroying the environment. They don\u2019t have enough air conditioners. They don\u2019t have enough cars. They don\u2019t have enough factories. No. So what is it? It\u2019s an attack on us. It\u2019s an attack on our exceptionalism. It\u2019s an attack on our abundance, an attack on our prosperity, an attack on our freedom. You look at the Kyoto protocol, it targets us. We\u2019ve got to back down, we are blamed for all this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Last week and into the news today comes the news that the sun is hotter and has been hotter than in recent measurements the last 60 years. And guess what? Some people are begrudgingly now, begrudgingly admitting that the sun may actually have more of an impact on temperatures than our cars, and our factories and smokestacks — can you believe it? It might, it\u2019s not proven. We\u2019ve got to investigate, but it is possible the sun could be a factor. (Gasping.) No! Why, that\u2019s as stunning as the fact that somebody just figured out that Iran is involved in terrorism! Man, what are we learning today, folks. You ought to feel really happy. Our information quotient is skyrocketing, the things we\u2019re learning — like the sun! Wouldn\u2019t it be funny if all of this so-called global warming which is a minute increase in overall world temperature anyway, is in fact caused by a hyperactive sun? (Gasping.) What are we going to do? Oh, no! We can\u2019t stop it. We don\u2019t have enough fire trucks to send up there to put it out.<\/p>\n

Well, no, don\u2019t give me this, Mr. Snerdley. (talking to program observer) You know, you can start playing provocateur all you want, Mr. Snerdley, the official program observer. Yes, but Rush, you\u2019re forgetting something: “Why is the sun hotter?” Oh, really? The sun\u2019s hotter because of man. Predominantly American man. The sun is hotter because — really? Is that the length they\u2019re going to have to go to? I just say this, folks. I bring all this up because it offends me to sit here and listen to an attack on the greatness of this country, an unceasing attack. It has been going on for as long as I\u2019ve been paying attention. The attack specifically aimed at what it is that sets us apart, what it is that makes us great, and what it is that allows us to share our bounty with the rest of the world is under assault and it takes many forms and global warming and the blame affixed to us is just but one of those techniques. It boggles the mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
