RUSH: Cory in Richland, Washington, welcome to the EIB Network, Sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello. Hey, Rush, how\u2019s it going?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Good.<\/p>\n

CALLER: A couple things, actually. First one was with the new emissions tax down in California.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I know all about it. I\u2019m the host.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, they claim that the people that it\u2019s going to hurt is the rich people or whoever can go out and buy the big gas guzzler and whatnot, and they\u2019re the ones who are gonna end up paying that tax. So what about the poor people who can\u2019t afford to upgrade to the new ultralow-emissions vehicles? Seems to me that they are the ones who would suffer more from that tax.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Your instincts are right on the money. Any time these liberals come along with tax increases that are designed to punish the upper tier, they end up hurting the little guy, big time. By the way, California is working on its own emissions increase in the cost to register a car and gasoline taxes. Los Angeles is working on its own adjunct to this. (sigh) All under the premise of a hoax. I got a Global Warming Stack. You know what? I need to get into this Global Warming Stack here because there is some fascinating stuff in this. I\u2019ve been stockpiling it here for two days. First, there is a… You know, one of the things that I have attempted to shout from the mountaintops as often as I can is something I heard Michael Crichton say, and it\u2019s true. ‘There can be no consensus in science.\u2019 Science does not allow consensus. You don\u2019t take a vote on what your scientific proposition is, and whatever the majority thinks ends up being called science. Global warming, the consensus of science? They essentially refute their own conclusion when they use the word ‘consensus\u2019 — and here we have in The Australian, which is a newspaper: ”Good Science Isn\u2019t About Consensus\u2019 — Australia is faced, over the next generation at least and almost certainly much longer, with two environmental problems of great significance.<\/p>\n

‘They are, first, how to manage water and, second, how to find acceptable alternatives to oil-based energy. Global warming is not one of those two issues, at least for me, and I see it as a distraction…\u2019 This alternatives-to-oil thing, this is going to drive me insane, this alternatives to oil. If people would just stop and think for a moment, there aren\u2019t any! The private sector is indeed working on them. (sigh) Sorry, I don\u2019t want to go through the whole thing because of limited time here, but I\u2019ve got a brilliant monologue on this in the archives at RushLimbaugh.com. From the French News Agency: ‘Climate change will increase the risk of people losing their sight through cataracts because of higher levels of ultraviolet rays, an expert said Monday. ‘The three main risk factors that lead to cataract blindness are age, smoking and UV exposure, in that order,\u2019 said Andreas Mueller of the Fred Hollows Foundation.\u2019 Climate change. Increased cataract blindness, experts.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another brilliant story. This is from NewScientist.com: ‘Apart from the human devastation, a small-scale nuclear war between India and Pakistan would destroy much of the ozone layer, leaving the DNA of humans and other organisms at risk of damage from the sun\u2019s rays, say researchers.\u2019 No kidding! Nuclear war would be bad for the environment, too, eh? Who would have thunk that?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the big news, though: ‘Global temperatures have not risen since 1998.\u2019 That is ten years ago. ‘Global temperatures in fact will drop…\u2019 This is the BBC to boot: ‘Global temperatures will drop slightly this year as a result of the cooling effect of the La Nina current in the Pacific, UN meteorologists have said. The World Meteorological Organization\u2019s secretary-general, Michel Jarraud, told the BBC it was likely that La Nina would continue into the summer. This would mean global temperatures have not risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory.\u2019 La Nina, El Nino, these are the things that can affect global temperatures, not even sure of the models.<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail had the same story: ‘The world will experience global cooling this year, according a leading climate scientist,\u2019 same guy at the World Meteorological Organization.<\/p>\n

The New York Times on April 6: ”A Shift in the Debate Over Global Warming\u2019 — The charged and complex debate over how to slow down global warming has become a lot more complicated. Most of the focus in the last few years has centered on imposing caps on greenhouse gas emissions to prod energy users to conserve or switch to nonpolluting technologies. Leaders of the Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change — the [frauds] awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year with former [Algore] — have emphasized that market-based approach.\u2019 There\u2019s nothing market-based about this approach! Governments are demanding it! What is market-based approach? There\u2019s nothing market-based about this. Imposing caps on greenhouse gas emissions? Who\u2019s doing the imposing? Governments are! You can\u2019t call this market-based. Anyway, ‘All three presidential candidates are behind it.\u2019 Yeah, we know. ‘And it has framed international talks over a new climate treaty and debate within the United States over climate legislation. But now, with recent data showing an unexpected rise in global emissions and a decline in energy efficiency, a growing chorus of economists, scientists and students…\u2019 Students! Yes, my friends, even students are weighing in here, being allowed to make policy. ‘[S]tudents of energy policy are saying that whatever benefits the cap approach yields, it will be too little and come too late.\u2019 (sigh) You see? There\u2019s nothing we can do. We\u2019re destroying the planet, and it\u2019s almost over.<\/p>\n

‘Maryland Gov. Martin O\u2019Malley recently warned that failure to take action on global warming could mean the extinction of the human race.\u2019 You know, the claims of these nuts just get wilder by the day. The whole East Coast now is going to disappear. St. Louis will be the East Coast, and we\u2019re going to be cannibals, and we\u2019re going to eat ourselves to extinction — all because of global warming.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
