To people &#8212; and there are these people on the science side to whom this is not a political issue. There are. I\u2019m gonna concede something here. There are some scientists who genuinely believe that all of this CO2, all of these greenhouse gas emissions are not good, that there is at some point gonna be a price to pay for it.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what the greenhouse effect is, is all of this CO2 magnifying the effects of the sun. And I\u2019m talking about people to whom this isn\u2019t political. Some of these people, by the way &#8212; these scientists &#8212; really do not like the left for totally corrupting the science on it and politicizing it. Well, these people are actually working on what they think are sensible solutions to a problem they genuinely believe. I, frankly, think that the greenhouse gas, CO2 thing is no big deal.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019m not a scientist. But this is where my reverence for God enters the picture. I just do not believe that we have this relatively easy way of destroying our planet. I mean, exactly how we doing it? By improving our lives? By raising our standard of living? By increasing the wealth of the human race? This is causing the end of the world? I\u2019m sorry, folks. I believe in a loving God creator, and I do not believe a loving God creator would establish circumstances like that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-276480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061318-Global-Warming-Climate-Change-SMOKESTACKS.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061318-Global-Warming-Climate-Change-SMOKESTACKS.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061318-Global-Warming-Climate-Change-SMOKESTACKS-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, you can pooh-pooh that all you want, but that\u2019s my faith. I just don\u2019t believe that the establishment of so many things that improve the quality of human life and all life on earth are gonna destroy it. But there are people who have this concern about CO2, and they are coming up with what they believe are scientific causes, and you know what the most recent one is? Without getting too much in the scientific weeds on this, there are people who are attempting to develop technology that would literally filter CO2 out of the air.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t ask me how. I\u2019m not technologically informed enough on this. But if you can envision it, imagine a giant but invisible net that the air passes through, and this net captures CO2 and then does something with it. All of this is invisible. You can\u2019t see it, anyway. And the question is, &#8220;Okay. You can do it for a three-foot-square, cubic volume square of air; but can you scale this up and make it anywhere available? Like, how much would it cost per cubic foot to actually scrub a significant portion of CO2 out of the air?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, don\u2019t laugh. There are people actually trying to do this. They are not wacko leftists. They\u2019re not the windmill types. They\u2019re not the, you know, roll ourselves back technologically to the Stone Age. These are people that want to maintain our current standard of living, that do not want to have to change the use of fossil fuels, do not want to have to go backwards on any type of technology. They\u2019re just attacking from the standpoint, &#8220;Okay.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we are putting too much CO2 in the atmosphere, let\u2019s find a way to get it out and recycle it and turn it into something else, just get it out of the air,&#8221; and they\u2019ve done that. Apparently, there\u2019s this little machine that can do this on a very, very minute, small scale. I want to make a prediction. As the news of this gets out and if it starts being widely reported on, I maintain to you that the political climate change group on the left &#8212; the climate change wackos &#8212; will trying to destroy this.<\/p>\n<p>They will do everything they can to pooh-pooh it. They will do everything they can to make sure it doesn\u2019t happen. They will ridicule it. They will say it can\u2019t possibly work, even though &#8212; and let\u2019s just say hypothetically. Lt\u2019s say that something else could be invented and could work at scale at a reasonable price. I mean, somebody will volunteer pay for this. Let\u2019s say it could say happen. It would accomplish everything these people want, theoretically. CO2 is causing greenhouse gas, which is causing climate change to increase, global warming, more tornadoes, more hurricanes, more floods.<\/p>\n<p>And if you get the CO2 out of the air, you\u2019ve solved the problem. Why will they not support that? (interruption) What industry is that? Well, it would kill their business. It\u2019s the same reason Jesse Jackson will never actually support anything that would end racism. These people can never, ever support something that would literally solve their problem. They need the issue.<\/p>\n<p>But the my point goes further than that. The reason they would not support this is that the real reason they do make all this noise about climate change is because the real objective is to being able to control everybody and how you live, denying you fossil fuels and denying you the freedom of the kind of car you want and denying you to be able to eat the kind of food you want.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-256805\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/650-120417-Rush-Climate-Change-Global-Warming.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/650-120417-Rush-Climate-Change-Global-Warming.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/650-120417-Rush-Climate-Change-Global-Warming-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>That\u2019s the kind of people we\u2019re up against. And if their supposed problem of climate change or global warming could be solved technologically by scrubbing the CO2 out of the air in our atmosphere, you would think they\u2019d be the first behind it. And they will not. They will try to destroy it because it will interrupt and get in the way of their real objective. They want to put the oil business out of business. They want to take every aspect of modern-day capitalism and destroy it. And in the process, they want to be able to control as much of everybody\u2019s lives as they can because they are socialists and communists.<\/p>\n<p>They are not scientists. They\u2019re not really concerned about climate change. They just want you to think they are. And they want you to think you\u2019re guilty. You have crated the problem by the way you live your life, and you need to pay for that. You need to pay the price. You need to pony up. You have helped destroy the planet, but you can get absolution if you follow what they say: more taxes, don\u2019t drive the cars they say you can\u2019t drive, and that\u2019s who they are, and that\u2019s what this is gonna expose.<\/p>\n<p>So I hope these people actually succeed in their technology. I hope this goes somewhere. I don\u2019t think it ever can at scale. Can you imagine what it would take to scrub the CO2 out of the air, but if it gets far enough long that the climate wackos feel threatened by it, they will expose themselves, and that is what I hope happens.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Speaking of fossil fuels, get this. The Democrat National Committee has banned donations from fossil fuel companies. They are telling fossil fuel companies like oil companies and natural gas companies that they will not accept any donations from these companies. Now, there will be a work-around to this, but why not go all the way DNC, why not ban the usage of the &#8212; if you so believe in all this that you\u2019re not gonna take their money, then why not just come out and tell everybody what you really want and ban the use of fossil fuels?<\/p>\n<p>This is a classic example of how they cannot be forthcoming about their real agenda. If they came out and said that one of the planks in their platform is to ban the use of oil, bye-bye Democrat Party. Or to put this incredibly high tax on it, bye-bye Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p>So they don\u2019t tell you that. They go through the motions of trying to make you think that they are good, good economic and climate stewards, environmental stewards, and they\u2019re not gonna take any filthy money from these fossil fuel companies. But they will. It will just have to be laundered by somebody, but they\u2019ll take it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now, folks, I have to clue you in on one of the latest bits of news revolving around climate change and global warming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":276480,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
