The Death of Environmentalism

The Death of Environmentalism

There has finally came a book that dares to actually speak the truth about global warming.
Breakthrough: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility. Authors Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger break from the Sierra Club and Al Gore mentality and really do tell the truth inconvenient truth.

The major point made in this book that Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth farce barely gave 60 seconds to, is that China and India could well be solely responsible for all Global Warming by 2050. Here’s what Shellenberger had to say.

“If China burns all the coal that is set to burn between now and 2050,” Shellenberger says, “We are super-deeply fucked.”

The fact hardly ever talked about by most hard left wing environmentalists is that China fires up a new coal burning plant every 7-10 days with no pollution control measures whatsoever. India isn’t very far behind them.

Here is a fact made evident in the book, Breakthrough. Even if every American SUV owner were to buy a hybrid tomorrow, that wouldn’t come close to offsetting the environmental change being perpetrated around the globe. In fact all the standards, cap and trade limits, and emission reduction standards that environmentalists have been pushing for may slow, but will never reverse global warming. That is Shellenberger and Nordhaus’ inconvenient truth.

Hollywood and Al Gore have put together a convenient lie at making the U.S. the bad guy, again, for the world’s global woes.

Consider this. Evidence shows, since the Kyoto agreement, many of the 36 industrialized countries that committed to reducing emissions from many of the 36 nations have gone up not down.

These two men have realized a new way of thinking about global warming has come. For the past 10 years, Nordhaus and Shellenberger toiled in the green movement as political strategists and consultants, each wanting to have an impact on society.

Breakthrough takes accurate aim at the environmental movement’s biggest leaders, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Al Gore. “If this book doesn’t piss off a lot of Liberals, we’ve failed,” Nordhaus says.

I, Thomas Affatato, am personally against big government and higher taxes. However, I do believe global warming is real. The proof for me came two years ago when I was introduced to chemtrails in the sky. Those ubiquitous long plumes that criss-cross each other and expand into a hazy cloud cover. The Discovery Channel had a segment on it this year. I realized then, that this concerted effort by the world’s industrialized nations to filter the sun’s rays is possibly a last minute effort to save the plant. This is quite alarming. There are hundreds of thousands of health issues, although unproven at this time, related to the chemicals dispersed by these high flying unmarked tankers.

I do not believe that the meteoric rise of asthma in children over the last decade is the result of food allergies and peanuts.

Breakthrough contends it is the government’s responsibility to fund in an unprecedented way, to find the technology needed to eliminate carbon emissions. They call for a $300 billion investment that could lead to another $200 billion investment by private enterprise.
Nordhaus and Shellenberger contend this is the next revolution in technology. They call it the $300 billion Manhattan Project.

Nordhaus and Shellenberger make a good point. Intel and Google wouldn’t exist today if it weren’t massive federal spending on Computer Science for the military and many tech firms like them figured a way to take this technological revolution to the masses.

For Christ’s Sake! We have spent this money on Iraq to date. Sad to say, it may well be a $300 billion mistake and waste. More importantly are the thousands of young men and women who have been killed and mamed in the process. For what?
To protect the fuel source every air conditioned, lighted home, restaurant, factory, airline, office building and car owner throughout the world, so deeply depends. You do not see the U.S., Nato or Russia in Africa with the same zeal. Because frankly, in the world’s scheme of things. Africa does not matter.

Breakthrough will stop terrorism in its tracks. The day the Middle East and places like Venezuela are not needed we will have literally cut the head off the industrialized world’s enemies. In the process, the next technological revolution will lift billions of people out of poverty, pollution and misery.

Let’s all listen to the inconvenient truth in the new book, Breakthrough: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility. By Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger.
