Well, there isn\u2019t any. There isn\u2019t any man-made climate change. It can\u2019t be proven, it has not been established, there is no science on it, settled or otherwise. It has never once been established that man has a damn thing to do with the climate, the weather, the temperature, what have you. And the proof is that we can\u2019t stop any kind of weather. We\u2019re causing it, apparently. If that\u2019s true, then why can\u2019t we stop it? Tornado coming, why can\u2019t we go out there like Fidel Castro does and stand up to it, put our arm out and say, “Not here. Not here. You will hit Georgia.”<\/p>\n

And why doesn\u2019t it turn to Georgia and go destroy them? Why does it come right at us and kill us, while we\u2019re out there standing — we can\u2019t stop it. Same thing with a hurricane. What it takes to advance movements like this is absolute empty-headed total believers, nonthinkers, fraudulently educated. Arrogant fools are necessary to keep narratives like this alive.<\/p>\n
And the mistake we make, like in climate change, a mistake we\u2019ve made from the beginning in fighting it is to fight it on the science. There isn\u2019t any! They make it up. Tree rings, ice cores, whatever it is, hockey stick, preordained paleocentric period. “No, the preordained paleocentric period, according to our research –” we\u2019ve lost everybody. It\u2019s a political argument they\u2019re having. We made the mistake of fighting the science, when there isn\u2019t any.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: The University of Alabama at Huntsville, our official climatologist, Dr. Roy Spencer is there<\/a>. Now, they just had — not at UAH. There was this giant so-called march for science over the weekend. It was totally, entirely bogus. There\u2019s no march for science. Science doesn\u2019t need a march. You don\u2019t need to campaign for science.<\/p>\n Well, anyway, an office housing Dr. John Christy, who\u2019s been doing great work, scientific work refuting climate change, the building where his office is was shot up seven times after the march. Officials at the University of Alabama Huntsville, “There\u2019s nothing to see here. This was purely random activity. We don\u2019t think it could have had anything to do with the march for science.” Really?<\/p>\n Seven shots in a building housing Dr. John Christy (interruption) No, I think Dr. Spencer\u2019s office is in a different area of the university. But Christy is one of the lead figures in the scientific community opposing this silly left-wing notion of climate change. And if the university — I mean, if you can go in and shoot up a building at the university where anti-climate change research is taking place, and nobody wants to say what it really is, “Oh, it\u2019s just random, nothing to see here.” That\u2019s scary stuff, if you work in that building.<\/p>\n You want to talk about intimation, that\u2019s scary, scary stuff. And then if you find out you\u2019re all alone and isolated, what\u2019s the point, you might start asking yourself. Why do I want to get shot at? He wasn\u2019t in the office, I don\u2019t think. That\u2019s not the point. But come home and find your house shot up full of holes after a protest march and see if you\u2019re just thinking, “Ah, it\u2019s nothing to see here.”<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n Now, in a sane world this would constitute such extreme overreach that the person behind this request or claim would be forever discredited. Fifteen trillion to fight climate change? The U.S. national debt is $19 trillion. Now, Algore and his group — by the way, who is Algore\u2019s group? Well, it says here they\u2019re a group of executives, as in CEOs who want to fight global warming, “has published a new report calling for countries to spend up to $600 billion a year over the next two decades to boost green energy deployment and energy efficiency equipment.”<\/p>\n Six hundred billion a year. This is multiple countries spending $600 billion a year for 20 years, total $15 trillion. Not companies. Countries. Algore and his group are asking the governments of the world to give him $15 trillion, him and his group. That\u2019s what they\u2019re asking for. They\u2019re making no bones about it. Give us 15 trill. Yeah, what are you gonna do with it? “Well, we\u2019re gonna fight climate change.” How you gonna do that? “Well, we\u2019re gonna invest in all kinds of new technology, deploy solar panels and we\u2019re gonna do electric cars and we\u2019re gonna have windmills and whatever the hell else is green energy.”<\/p>\n Do you realize the solar panel industry itself, you want to talk about fraud. The amount of energy that is created, produced by solar panels is so tiny, it\u2019s immeasurable, and if you have a cloudy day, you\u2019re stuck. I look at Apple, and I know Algore\u2019s on the board out there and they\u2019ve got a social justice warrior for CEO. And they\u2019ve got as one of their executives Obama\u2019s former EPA director, Lisa Jackson, and they\u2019re building that giant new spaceship campus out there. And on the roof of every building in this complex is solar panels. And I\u2019m here to tell you that the vast majority of that is image and marketing.<\/p>\n It is to convince young Millennials and anybody else that Apple is leading the way on clean energy. But if you look very carefully at the drone flyovers, you\u2019ll find conventional HVAC equipment hidden on the rooftops of these buildings. Now, Apple is saying that their design is so state-of-the-art that they don\u2019t need air-conditioning and heating for a vast majority of the year. Ha-ha. Yeah, right. That\u2019s what they\u2019re saying. And nobody\u2019s gonna ever know. Nobody will know how much the solar panels actually create and produce. Nobody\u2019s gonna ever know. Apple is trying to benefit here from as many left-wing-oriented enterprises do.<\/p>\n Does anybody ask that? Despite the subsidies, despite — I mean, look at all the solar and wind energy that Obama invested in, subsidized to different companies. Most of them are bankrupt now and out of business. By design. They were nothing more than disguised contribution paybacks. These people all donated to Obama and coming up with federal money to invest in their solar industry like Solyndra. It\u2019s just a way to give some of the money back as payback. They\u2019re all out of business now. Why isn\u2019t there any profit in solar and windmills?<\/p>\n I mean, this is one of the biggest scams. But, man, it works because it gets right to the heart of young Millennials. And all they need, all Millennials need is the belief that an entity, a company, an individual, is trying and is committed to saving the planet. Whether it works or not doesn\u2019t matter a hill of beans, because remember, nothing is authentic anymore. And there is no authority that\u2019s respected, so all that matters is the image that you can create for yourself. And the marketing in which you can engage that tells your story, which is your commitment to saving the planet.<\/p>\n Like all of liberalism, you don\u2019t have to do anything. You don\u2019t have to make one ounce of progress to actually saving anything. You just have to convince people that you\u2019re trying, and they love you, and they think you are perfect. And then somebody like me comes along and tries to tell the truth about it, and I am demonized and ripped to shreds at having no soul and having no heart, having no compassion, and having no concern. And all I am is trying to ensure that people do not fall for scam after scam after scam and lie after lie after lie because the more people that fall for these things, the bigger the government\u2019s gonna get.<\/p>\n The more people fall for this, the more freedom you\u2019re gonna sacrifice to government under the premise that your freedom is what\u2019s caused the problem. Your freedom to buy the car you want to buy. Your freedom to set your thermostat where you want to set it. Your freedom to eat whatever you want to eat, all of these freedoms have led to this crisis. And you must be dialed back. And if you dial back on your own, we will reward you and provide for you redemption from the sins you have committed against the planet.<\/p>\n And people suck that up and buy into that faster than you can say, “You\u2019re being scammed.” And that\u2019s what all this is, $15 trillion. And Gore\u2019s group even has a name: the Energy Transitions Commission. “The Energy Transitions Commission\u2019s (ETC) report claims ‘additional investments of around $300-$600 billion per annum do not pose a major macroeconomic challenge\u2019 … ETC is made up of energy executives, activist leaders and investment bankers, including former Vice President Al Gore, who would no doubt get a piece of the trillions of dollars they are calling for.”<\/p>\n And what are they doing? They\u2019re trying to save the planet. Oh, what a brilliant ploy to change the way they are perceived. And they\u2019ll do it for as little as $15 trillion. So divide 15 trillion by 20 years, and that\u2019s what these clowns want as a guaranteed income from the government. All they gotta do is deploy some solar panels here, maybe work with Elon Musk and devise a new electric car that uses coal to power itself and the battery charges up, and you\u2019re home free.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Kelly up in Midland, Michigan. Great to have you. How you doing, sir?<\/p>\n CALLER: It\u2019s actually a girl, but that\u2019s okay. I\u2019m doing great, Rush. It\u2019s a pleasure to speak with you.<\/p>\n RUSH: Thank you. I\u2019m sorry about that, by the way.<\/p>\n CALLER: Oh, that\u2019s more than fine. What I wanted to talk to you about, because of the solar discussion you were having, is Midland is the birthplace of Dow Chemical and Corning, and about five years ago the government gave Dow almost $2 billion to create a solar shingle plant. And supposedly in two years the shingles were gonna be available in all 50 states and in five years all over the world.<\/p>\n RUSH: Solar shingles.<\/p>\n CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n CALLER: See? And nobody is talking about this. My husband got a job there, supposed to be this dream job, a lifetime career job, and he actually really, really liked it. They\u2019re already done. They closed this brand new $2 billion investment of our money, and in one day, 746 people lost their jobs.<\/p>\n RUSH: Right. And why? Because the solar shingles didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n CALLER: They don\u2019t sell. Exactly. And the two years that they predicted they\u2019d be in the 50 states, they were actually available in four.<\/p>\n RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n CALLER: And they were all out west.<\/p>\n CALLER: So yes, exactly.<\/p>\n RUSH: Well, Kelly, thanks for the call. I appreciate it. How many of you have, for your phone, have a battery case that you put it in? Do you know they sell these things, some of them, Mophie makes \u2019em. Mophies are great. Anchor makes some. There\u2019s a bunch of people that make these battery cases. You plug your phone into them, you charge your battery case, it gives you an additional day\u2019s worth of juice if you have a phone that doesn\u2019t get you through a whole day.<\/p>\n Well, as a gimmick some Japanese outfit created one of these battery cases and the whole back of it was a solar panel. And it was designed to charge your phone, and you would never have to plug in the battery case to charge it. So I went out and I got one. I ordered it. Yeah, I didn\u2019t fall for it; I wanted to establish that the thing would not work.<\/p>\n And I took it with me on one of our vacations to Hawaii, and I left it out. I let it run down, out of power totally. I plugged in and I charged it, and I used it to keep the phone charged. And when the battery case died, I just put it outside for three days running without touching it in the sunlight, brought it inside at night, put it back — there wasn\u2019t one amp of power that ended up — I think the thing was a scam. I think it was a cheap knock-off scam.<\/p>\n But the point is the whole back of it was a solar panel and it was sold as revolutionary. It was not sold as something that would totally power the battery case. It was a supplemental. If you had it on the phone, you were using it when it was outdoors, it would keep your charge at current levels and maybe add a little bit. It didn\u2019t do any of that. And I don\u2019t even know if it was a real solar panel in there, but it was advertised as such. All I know is that if all you have to power your house is a solar panel or two, if the whole roof is solar panels, you\u2019re screwed. You are totally screwed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RUSH: Algore and his group is asking the governments of the world to give him $15 trillion, him and his group.

This was a march of the uber-left. This was a march for liberalism. This was a march to promote the left and whatever it is. They wanted to target science, it\u2019s Earth Day, and they want everybody to believe that science is behind their beliefs on climate change.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/632127742-199x300.jpg\")
RUSH: This is a pure fantasy. This is pure fantasy. There is nothing of substance here.

Do you know what happens when a solar panel wears out? Do you have any idea how large these things are? Do you know what disposing them consists of? Do you know the absolute mess, the polluted mess getting rid of a bunch of them? How come the solar industry, despite massive expenditures like this and like Apple\u2019s big building out there and all these government subsidies and programs, why isn\u2019t the solar industry profitable?<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Liberals650-020217-Liberals-Undo-1.jpg\")
So what do you have here? You have an association of energy executives, activist leaders, investment bankers, doing what? Asking governments all over the world to give them money, ostensibly to fight global warming. Not fix it, not stop it, not solve it. Because, of course, we can\u2019t do that, because we aren\u2019t causing it. But the image and the marketing of a bunch of green-hearted executives and bankers who already have what kind of an image? Bankers, yuk, you\u2019re raping us blind, you thieves. Executives, CEOs. Yeah, look at all the money you make, and you don\u2019t pay your employees. You\u2019re a bunch of scrum, too.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ObamaSolyndra585.jpg\")
