When I was five, I resisted
naps. Unfortunately, I exhausted myself fighting
with my mother trying to convince her I did not need
a nap. I now admit I was wrong, and today I relish
stretching out to reboot my hard drive. I can get a
great power nap in less than ten minutes and I wish
I could pass my enlightenment on to my
grandchildren.
Several years back my four-year-old granddaughter,
Mae, was staying with us. One afternoon, Mae and
Jess, the baby sitter, were negotiating nap time
through the closed bedroom door. The discipline
program in use at the time consisted of reward cards
placed in either an envelope bearing a smiley face
or another displaying a not-so-smiley face. Follow
orders and a card would be placed in the smiley
faced envelope; resist and the card went in the
opposite envelope. If you were particularly
obstinate, cards could actually be moved from the
smiley to the frown envelope with your reward at the
end of the day dictated by the final envelope score.
With Mae refusing to nap Jess threatened, “If you do
not get to bed right now I am going to move a card
to the frown envelope.”
Rustling sounds bounced through the door before Mae
announced, “I moved all the cards into the frown
envelope. Now can I come out?” Four-year-olds do not
fight fair.
When my 12 grandchildren visit, the nap time battle
intensifies. Forcing your will upon someone is
challenging and those of us in the political arena
are engaged in a similar battle; trying to place an
ideology to bed. Like four-year-olds, the resistance
is disconnected and illogical, but the opposition
fights like a cornered badger because they have bet
all their marbles on a single issue. Presenting
solid data contrary to their hypothesis merely
strengthens their resolve; all while publicly
claiming they are champions of compromise. They are
a juvenile bunch.
The ruling class has based their entire con on the
hypothesis man’s production of carbon dioxide is
warming the planet and melting the polar ice caps.
Knowing low information voters will do anything out
of fear, Secretary of State John Kerry recently
claimed climate change presents a greater threat to
civilization than does the horrific mass-murders by
ISIS. Their entire hypothesis is junk science
promoted by those lining their wallets perpetuating
the myth. By selectively publishing data which
supports the hoax and burying data contrary to the
state sponsored scam, the illusion is created our
planet is warming, the polar ice caps are melting
and major weather disasters are increasing. It is
all a lie.
Joining a long list of work proving the contrary,
Dr. Ross McKittrick at the University of Guelph
recently published a paper using satellite data
showing the earth’s the lower troposphere has not
warmed in 26 years. Because this non-warming and
growth of polar ice caps occurred in the face of
atmospheric carbon dioxide climbing from 354 parts
per million (ppm) in 1990 to 400 ppm today, logic
dictates the entire climate change hypothesis must
be called into question. It won’t be; the hysteria
refuses to be put to bed and here is why.
Opposition to the Keystone Pipeline, incandescent
light bulbs, hydro and coal-fired electricity
generation and the promotion of wind energy, solar
power, the Chevy Volt, compact fluorescent light
bulbs, cash-for-clunkers, and cash-for-Kelvinators
all rely on a single myth. The left’s entire
political machine collapses once the truth is known.
No wonder they refuse to put the issue down for a
nap. Progressives argue environmental consequences
are too severe to do nothing, so the unwashed must
surrender to the ruling class. More correctly, it is
American freedom which will suffer more than the
climate; consequences too severe to yield to these
left wing extremists. You climate changers get to
bed and I won’t tell you again.
