RUSH: Oh, here\u2019s a story: “Record Global Cooling Over the Last Eight Months.”<\/a> (chuckles) That\u2019s another subject.  You know, it\u2019s a pet peeve of mine, this whole global warming thing and what it\u2019s done to these young kids.  I just… I don\u2019t know why; it just ticks me off.  I mean, people are throwing their lives away being scared into believing garbage.  They\u2019re literally throwing their lives away. <\/p>\n

You know, there\u2019s… You\u2019re gonna think I\u2019m crazy, folks.  Well, you won\u2019t think that because none of you ever think I\u2019m crazy, but have you seen the ads for this…? I don\u2019t know what it is. It\u2019s a movie or a documentary about a trip to Mars that\u2019s on PBS.  You haven\u2019t seen the promos for this?  I saw it during the football games yesterday.  It\u2019s one of these productions by Neil deGrasse Tyson who took over for Carl Sagan.  My tech buddies worship this guy, because he believes in climate change, and global warming, and all this other stuff.<\/p>\n

And he also is, to some extent, a believer that our only hope is to leave earth and colonize an asteroid or the moon or Mars.  So there is either… And they\u2019ve already had this movie called The Martian, with what\u2019s his name. Matt Damon.  But this is something else.  I think it is a documentary.  But I\u2019m not sure.  But with Neil deGrasse Tyson, it\u2019s probably a documentary, a science-type documentary.  And it\u2019s all about the first trip to Mars.  Now, gotta be very careful.  I\u2019m all for space exploration.  I absolutely am devoted to it. <\/line><\/p>\n

I think great things come from the research into space exploration, particularly manned space flight. But, again, there is a subliminal attachment to this that includes the idea that we have got to find a way to get to Mars or we\u2019re gonna die because the planet is not habitable. That is what is the under-girding foundation of all of these Mars exploration things, that we\u2019ve got to find a way to get there or we\u2019re gonna die.  And so these young tech guys are all excited with people like Elon Musk or any of these other clowns that are talking about this.<\/p>\n

I mean going to Mars? Fine, folks. Don\u2019t misunderstand. But taking the earth\u2019s population there to save it from manmade global warming?  I mean, it just embarrasses me; that is so silly.  But these kind of shows promote — subtly promote — this confused idea that we are destroying our habitat by making life better.  Our life expectancy is expanding.  People are getting healthier.  And it\u2019s all related to fossil fuels.  “We\u2019re destroying our environment,” when we\u2019re not.  We\u2019re living longer.  We\u2019re living healthier.  We are living more prosperously. <\/p>\n
