RUSH: Global warming. There\u2019s news on that today. From the UK Express: “Meltdown Myth: Antarctic Ice Growing, Expanding, Is Just the First Evidence Global Warming Is Not Real<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Now, this story, we\u2019ve talked about the Antarctic ice. We talked about it yesterday, the day before. The point about it is: Where are all the computer models the global warming people believe to predict it? The only reason we\u2019re even talking about global warming — well, the real only reason — is it\u2019s part of the left\u2019s agenda of expanding government worldwide, raising taxes worldwide, and a key ingredient of this is blaming average citizens for the problem. And make no mistake. That is actually Important Point Number One about the entire global warming movement is that all of us are to blame. <\/p>\n

All of us are responsible. All of us are using more than our share of coal. All of us are using more than our share of gasoline, all of us are driving bigger cars than we should be. We\u2019re living in bigger homes than we should. It\u2019s all our fault. This is the key. And the reason it\u2019s our fault is that then allows the statists to say, “See, you people cannot be trusted to live your lives responsibly. You need us regulating the way you live in order to save our planet.” And that\u2019s how they\u2019ve set it up. <\/line><\/p>\n

And since there are a lot of people out there, low-information voter types who really don\u2019t think their lives have much meaning and they\u2019re seeking for meaningful lives and they think, “Wow! How much more meaning can you have than to actually save the planet.” So they eagerly sign on to this, they eagerly accept the blame. Because they\u2019re offered penance. “Yeah. You just support the Democrats, support bigger government, support higher taxes, agree to drive a bunch of little no-name cars that nobody really wants to drive. Just do all the things the government says, and you can be forgiven for the damage you have wrought on this planet.”<\/p>\n

The fundamental element of liberalism is that every problem has been caused by us. Not them. Not the central planners, not the legislators, not the leaders. No, no. They\u2019re the saviors. You and I are the problems because we do not know how to live our lives responsibly. They say the evidence is abundant. We drive cars that are too big. We air-condition our homes too chilly. We turn the heat up too much in the wintertime. We waste here and we waste there. We drink all these sugared soft drinks. We smoke all these cigarettes and all this horrible stuff! We don\u2019t know what we\u2019re doing. <\/p>\n

They\u2019ve gotta come in and regulate it all. That\u2019s the key element of every agenda item of liberalism: It\u2019s our fault; we can\u2019t be trusted. Number two is, the only reason there\u2019s global warming is \u2019cause there\u2019s models that say there\u2019s gonna be climate warming, change, whatever, 10 years, 30, 50, hundred years from now. Not next year. Not next month. Now, all there is is models. There\u2019s no evidence. Why didn\u2019t the models predict this expanding ice in Antarctica? <\/p>\n

But more than that, can I ask you the real zinger question? Let me ask you the real zinger question. I want you to really think about this. I first heard of global warming 1979. It was actually called the new ice age. It was a cover story of Newsweek magazine<\/a>. It was my first year working for the Kansas City Royals. But I was still a news guy paying attention. I\u2019ll never forget that cover. And then, the next thing I knew, I\u2019m in Sacramento. It\u2019s 1984, and I\u2019m watching This Week with David Brinkley, and there\u2019s guy, some scientist named Oppenheimer on. <\/line><\/p>\n

And he\u2019s talking about global warming and we\u2019ve only got 20 years. And he admits he can\u2019t prove it, but we don\u2019t have time to wait to see if he\u2019s right or wrong. We\u2019ve gotta move now. We have to start taking drastic action now to stop global warming in case we\u2019re right about it and we\u2019ve only got 20 years. That was 1984. In 2004, we hadn\u2019t done anything to stop it, fix it. We should all have been suffering immensely because we didn\u2019t do anything. But then when the 20 years approached, no, no, it became 50 years and so forth. There\u2019s no real timeline for this where we can see evidence in our lives. But what has happened is they first start with freezing and the ice age, and that changes in five years to global warming. And since 1982, \u201984, they have been on this global warming kick. <\/p>\n

They have been warning us of the dire consequences of the climate getting warmer. Greenhouse gases, CO2, the exponential increases in heat, all the disasters that are gonna happen, all the hurricanes that are gonna happen and the sea level rise and lack of ice for the zebras and for the polar bears and whoever else, the seals, you\u2019ve heard it all. You know the drill. Global warming is going to be a disaster. Okay? Well, here we are in 2015, and we\u2019ve had 18 consecutive years of no warming. We now have expanding ice in Antarctica. Why aren\u2019t these people happy? It isn\u2019t warming. Why aren\u2019t they out there trying to take credit for it? <\/p>\n

I mean, they\u2019re basically dishonest people to begin with. Why aren\u2019t they out there trying to take credit for the policies they have demanded that governments implement for working? We haven\u2019t had any increase in temperature in 18 years. The ice floe in the Antarctic is expanding, isn\u2019t that good? The opposite, the ice melting, that\u2019s bad. And yet all this good news, the warming seemingly has been arrested. The ice in Antarctic is expanding, the sea levels aren\u2019t rising. Why aren\u2019t they happy? Why aren\u2019t they beating their chests and saying, “See? Our policies have succeeded”? Instead they\u2019re mad. They\u2019re mad, and they\u2019re doubling down on the fact that it\u2019s really gonna get warm, and the climate\u2019s really gonna change, and it\u2019s gonna become intolerable, it\u2019s gonna become insufferable, except that it hasn\u2019t and it isn\u2019t. <\/line><\/p>\n

Why are not happy when the warming has been arrested? The entire premise of the global warming movement is that we must stop it. Well, there hasn\u2019t been any for 18 years. You would think at least one of these scientists, at least one of these politicians, at least one of them around the world, one of them at the UN would be happy that the destruction and the damage and the pain and the suffering from global warming isn\u2019t going to happen as soon as they thought. But there not happy. They\u2019re mad. Why are they mad? They\u2019re mad because they\u2019re being proven to be frauds. Or at the very at least, they\u2019re being proven as having made big mistakes. <\/p>\n

But whatever, we\u2019re not dealing with scientific opinion here. That\u2019s one thing that\u2019s for sure now. We\u2019re not dealing with neutral scientific opinion, because if we were, they would be happy that the warming isn\u2019t happening, and they would be trying to claim credit for it. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Richard in Raleigh, North Carolina. Welcome, sir. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s a pleasure, Rush. I just wanted to thank you because I\u2019m a molecular biologist, and I was thoroughly convinced global warming was real. I thought, “Well, we gotta do something,” and so on and so forth. About three years ago a family member suggested I start listening you to and I did and I thought, “You know, I agree with just about everything Rush says except he\u2019s got it wrong on global warming.” But being a scientist I decided let me look at the papers. I took some meteorology courses just as a side interest and I realized after reading the real science, that I\u2019d been lied to. They had completely deceived me. I was stunned at first, and then I got mad and now it\u2019s one of my pet peeves on social media. I\u2019m waging a one man campaign to convince everybody I know that it\u2019s a hoax, it\u2019s a means of trying to control everything. I couldn\u2019t believe it. I was so stunned at the enormity of the lie —<\/p>\n

\"large\"RUSH: And you were able to determine this reading their own published studies, right?<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. I went to the literature. I did my online searches like I\u2019d research any of my molecular biology topics, I started pulling up papers. I had to do some generalized papers to learn the language, but then I started reading what they real scientists were publishing and then I started seeing the stuff, and all of a sudden I realized the people in the global warming group, they\u2019re not even real scientists. They\u2019ve got like bachelor\u2019s degrees, they\u2019re barely qualified. Even the people advising the UN people, I would look at their CVs, these people aren\u2019t real. I mean, they\u2019re jokes, and most of them are like political hacks. And then I played the grant game, I helped play the grant game and chased the money, be as honest as you can, but, you know, it\u2019s follow the money is what it boils down to.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, you said something very key here. And I should have included this in that piece I wrote for National Review.<\/a> You\u2019re using social media here. Social media is turning out to be, when used properly, a great weapon against the Drive-By Media. There is as much opportunity for truth and alternative. I think it\u2019s one of the reasons Carson and Trump are doing so well, actually. It can overcome lying, distorted, or noncoverage of somebody in the Drive-By media. Carson is using it really effectively, in fact. But, Richard, I\u2019m glad you called, and I\u2019m glad you did what you did. You found out for yourself using their own data that it\u2019s a hoax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
