My Favorite Economist Speaks Out
Walter E. Williams, the John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University and former chairman of George Mason’s Economics department, noted speaker, commentator, and all-around brilliant guy, published a great commentary today on the Global Warming farce.
Dr. Williams notes that
Mounting evidence suggests that claims of manmade global warming might turn out to be the greatest hoax in mankind’s history. Immune and hostile to the evidence, President Barack Obama’s administration and most of the U.S. Congress sides with Climate Czar Carol Browner, who says, “I’m sticking with the 2,500 scientists.”
Well, once again, he hit the nail directly on the head. “Immune and hostile to the evidence.” Not only is Obama and his band of merry minions immune to the evidence, immune to the facts, immune to any sense of reality whatsoever, they are hostile to it. How DARE anyone present The Grand Tyrant with anything as trivial as facts! Facts and the data that support them only get in the way of really tyrannical dictatorship! How DARE anyone question The Grand Tyrant?
Dr. Williams concludes:
Given all the false claims and evidence pointing to scientific fraud, I don’t think it wise to continue spending billions of dollars and enacting economically crippling regulations in the name of fighting global warming.
As I noted, Walter E. Williams is a brilliant economist. He knows, and has written, that Obama is enacting crippling regulations and spending outrageously “in the name of” fighting global warming. No one could be as stupid as Obama appears to be, and still generate enough brain power to ambulate. He has a definite purpose, and that purpose is as he has laid it out in a lifetime’s writings and speeches - cripple the economy and control society.
Remember, the ONLY reason Obama has presented a “budget” with a $1.6 trillion deficit instead of a $2.2 TRILLION deficit is because he purposely hid the fact that he is relying on stealing another $646 billion from industry through the illegal imposition of a Cap-and-Trade tax to punish American industry for the sin of using electricity in their operations!
It could be no clearer. The man-made global warming farce is coming apart at the seams. Only Obama and his sycophants (and presumably Gore if he could be found) still cling to the 2,500 “scientists” myth (debunked nicely in “Consensus”? What “Consensus”? Among Climate Scientists, The Debate Is Not Over as well as on our “Quite Convenient LIE” page.) The ONLY reason to continue clinging to such utter nonsense is to exploit it in an attempt to destroy the economy and the capitalist structure which underpins it. As Dr. Williams wrote previously:
“Cap and trade” is first a massive indirect tax on the American people and hence another source of revenue for Congress. More importantly “cap and trade” is just about the most effective tool for controlling most economic activity short of openly declaring ourselves a communist nation and it’s a radical environmentalist’s dream come true.
