RUSH: Dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut! We've gotta get to the Global Warming Stack here.
(Playing of What a Horrible World.)
RUSH: I wasn't through intro-ing here.
(Playing of What a Horrible World.)
RUSH: He just can't be quiet, this guy.
(Playing of What a Horrible World.)
RUSH: That's our buddy Paul Shanklin as former vice president Algore and What a Horrible World. All right, here we go. The first item in the Global Warming Stack today is a column in the Australian Herald Sun. It's by Andrew Bolt, and he's talking here about how convenient for the new prime minister of Great Britain, Gordon Brown. He's newly installed, and, all these floods are over there. He can blame global warming! "How handy global warming is for the battling politician. Take Britain's new and nervous Prime Minister, Gordon Brown. He's got thousands of British houses now drowning in flood water, with soggy citizens ready to make someone pay. These furious voters could, for instance, ask their politicians why they let so many houses be built on old flood plains. They might demand to know why the country's Environment Agency was so slack in maintaining flood defences. And they certainly are bitching about the Government's slow rescue efforts." Have we been here before? Hurricane Katrina. "So how does Brown escape? He blames global warming: 'Obviously, like every advanced industrial country, we're coming to terms with some of the issues surrounding climate change.'
 "Brilliant! From potential scapegoat to noble prophet. It's been done before, of course. Australian premiers blamed global warming rather than admit they'd failed to build new dams over the past 20 years to water their growing cities. But few have been quite so brazen as Brown - or drawn attention so clumsily to a rather big problem with the computer models on which so much global warming theory is based." Here's the problem: "You see, the weather isn't quite behaving as those models predict. For a start, Britain should be baking, not drowning. All the models actually forecast not summer floods in Britain, but summers ever drier. Hear it from the warming spruikers at Britain's Hadley Centre, who warned: 'Winters will become wetter and summers may become drier across all of the UK.' ... But which global warming preacher can resist blaming any bit of wild weather on man and his gases? The heatwave in southern Europe? 'Consistent with man-made climate change,' said European Union environment bureaucrats. Our Gippsland floods? Just what you'd expect from climate change, tut-tuts our don't-blame-me Premier. Hurricane Katrina, which helped to drown New Orleans in 2005? For Al Gore it was so emblematic of global warming that he stuck it on the poster for his movie An Inconvenient Truth. Yet the weather just refuses to behave as the activists' pet global-warming models insist. ...
"[Y]ou see the problem, don't you? That's sure not an explanation to excite an activist, or excuse a politician who's in deep water. ... If you must blame something, blame the jet stream that remains stuck over Britain, when normally it's pushed back over Scotland by winds from the Azores." We discussed this a couple of days ago. The jet stream is just further south than it should be. The models didn't predict any of this, and we can't move it up. We don't know how to move the jet stream up. By the way, yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, as you know, I had a story for you that the temperature here where we live in south Florida is cooler than normal, whereas in other parts of Florida the temperatures are rising, although not all parts of Florida, but it's been cool here. It's cool in Northeast again here today. It's all over the place. Temperatures are wacky and they're cooler than they should be. I took credit for this yesterday by highlighting the huge carbon footprint that I am making, on purpose, to help put pollutants into the air because we know that when nature does that, we cool the climate. So I have a pretty large estate and I'm running all the things that I have in it. I'm running the pool cooler 24 hours a day. The thermostat is 68 degrees in every room in every house. The lights are on a lot. I even air-condition my garages, folks! Ab-so-lutely. I'm not about to take a shower, get dressed walk out for dinner at night and get into a sweaty, hot garage, sweaty. |

Besides, I gotta protect my cars. So, yes, big carbon footprint, and a friend sends me a note that says, "I don't know why it never occurred to me before, but you, Rush Limbaugh, are actually do more to support alternative energy sources than the vast majority of Americans. Your disproportionate use of energy through supply and demand helps push prices hire which then makes alternative sources of energy more competitive in the marketplace." So I am doing the Lord's work even though and while I am satisfying my needs. Do you understand this, Mr. Snerdley, or did we lose you here? I'm using all this energy, and it's driving the price up. (interruption) No! I'm placing a huge demand on the existing supply. Supply and demand. My command is extraordinarily high compared to the average Floridian, so I'm using the supply, increasing demand. The price is going up, which makes alternative fuels look even more attractive. I'm helping. Oh, but wait! Sorry. I take it back. From LiveScience.com: "Renewable Energy Not Green -- Renewable energy could wreck the environment, according to a study that examined how much land it would take to generate the renewable resources that would make a difference in the global energy system.... The results, published in the current issue of International Journal of Nuclear Governance, Economy and Ecology, paint a grim picture for the environment.
"For example, according to the study, in order to meet the 2005 electricity demand for the United States, an area the size of Texas would need to be covered with wind structures running round the clock to extract, store and transport the energy. New York City would require the entire area of Connecticut to become a wind farm to fully power all its electrical equipment and gadgets." It's a hoax as well, this renewable energy garbage. Oh, by the way, in Peru, "at least 70 children have died during a spell of freezing weather in the Andean regions." It's a cold snap that is unheard of, and 70 children died. Big story also out of Nevada: "Nevada is among the states with the most dramatic increase in average temperatures in the last 30 years according to a new study that examines the impact of global warming across the country." So what did I do? I went to the National Weather Service, and I got a little bar graph here of the average Las Vegas maximum temperature by decade. And guess what? The 1940s featured the highest average temperature for Las Vegas from the forties through the nineties. The forties and fifties were higher than the eighties and nineties, average temperature in Las Vegas. Keep in mind, folks, it's all BS out there on this global warming business. It's a wild guess. It's a political issue. It's a religion. It's a hoax. Don't believe any of the fearmongering.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I left one story out of the global warming report -- accidentally. From to Los Angeles Times: "You take public transportation to work. You use energy-saving lightbulbs. You turn off the air-conditioner when you're not home." By the way, I don't do that either. The air conditioners stay on all the time. There's too much stuff in there to protect. I'm not going to let the humidity down here destroy it; same thing with the garages. I do turn off the pool cooler when I'm not around. I do do that. I have to have the thing on. But beside that, the federal government will still come to your aid if you still feel guilty that you are not doing enough. "For years, companies have been allowed to compensate for greenhouse gas emissions by purchasing carbon offsets or pollution credits. These are vouchers for investment in alternative energy sources, tree planting, and other," scams. That's my word, not the LA Times'. "Now the idea is spreading to individuals with the Forest Service's announcement yesterday that it will be the first federal agency to offer personal carbon offsets through an initiative called the Carbon Capital Fund. 'We came up with the idea because everybody is looking at what they can do in terms of climate change,' said the president of the National Forest Foundation, a nonprofit partner of the Forest Service." Whenever you read "nonprofit," think "liberal," nine times out of ten. "The money goes to a restricted fund for projects on national forests." So, if you had any doubt that this whole thing is a scam, now the feds want to take your money in the process. This is a voluntary tax that they hope that you will come up with. |
