Clarice Feldman writing in American Thinker has a very informative article with great documentation (as always) pointing out how The Democrat War On Science Aids Our Enemies. Another one of her must reads.
From the article:
— this week Al Gore, anti-carbon fuel drum major, made a cool $100 million selling his 20% share in the failing, unwatched Current TV to Arab Al-Jazeera, owned by major carbon fuel producers. (His partner, Joel Hyatt, son-in-law of former Ohio Democratic senator Howard Metzenbaum, also benefited mightily.)
It’ hard to conclude that this $500 million Al-Jazeera purchase is anything other than a payoff for effectively hampering the exploitation of American carbon fuels and advocating openly for giving a cable entrée to this Arab-broadcasting network. Current TV isn’t worth anything like the price paid for it.
Highlighted by Feldman in her article is this item:
According to an investigation by the Heritage Foundation, however, it turns out that a portion of the financing for the film comes from the oil-rich royal family of the United Arab Emirates. The film was produced in association with Image Media Abu Dhabi, a company owned by the UAE government.
The benefits for oil exporters abroad to increase the politically-imposed restrictions on “fracking” technology are self-evident.Despite extreme pressure on the EPA by the anti-fracking coalitions, EPA scientists found it did not contaminate ground water. Nor, according to the NRC, does it cause earthquakes, another falsity.
Feldman provides much more analysis of the sale, summarized however tritely by us as “follow the money.” She goes on to critique the very basis of the hysteria regarding global warming:
In addition, every day further evidence mounts that the Gore promoted notion of anthropogenic global warming is just so much hot air.
Not only is the evidence mounting that the notion of AGW is as foolish as skeptics believed it to be, but that it has been shoved down our throats by a passel of bullies and charlatans.
James Delingpole at the Telegraph explains their tactics to those who haven’t been giving this adequate attention:
Rig public enquiries, hound blameless people out of their jobs, breach Freedom of Information laws, abuse the scientific method, lie, threaten, bribe, cheat, adopt nakedly political positions in taxpayer-funded academic and advisory posts that ought to be strictly neutral, trample on property rights, destroy rainforests, drive up food prices (causing unrest in the Middle East and starvation in the Third World), raise taxes, remove personal freedoms, artificially raise energy prices, featherbed rent-seekers, blight landscapes, deceive voters, twist evidence, force everyone to use expensive, dim light bulbs, frighten schoolchildren, bully adults, increase unemployment, destroy democratic accountability, take control of global governance and impose a New World Order.
The article also deals with Obama administration playing politics with genetically modified food science, illegally sitting on a study affirming the safety of GM salmon by his own FDA in favor of political allegiance to anti-science wackos.
Further comment is made regarding eco-activists having their butts handed to them in court regarding their defamation of Barnum & Bailey Circus’s treatment of animals. The suit was a RICO suit which means conspiracy to defame.
Another entirely worthwhile article from Clarice Feldman at American Thinker. DLH with R Mall
PS Mediacom does not carry Current TV (aka the Al Gore channel soon to be Al-Jazeera,).
