After having read an article over at THBarb yesterday, I was inspired by a line or two there that made sense to me.  The decisions around anthropogenic global warming have been made for us.

With many other social factors - and that’s what global warming is, folks, a social factor - liberals have demanded that humans have a choice.  The people chose a Democrat-controlled Congress in 2006, and liberals were elated, although their approval rating plunged to nine percent most recently.  The people are going to choose a Democrat President later this year because of hope and change, or so the Obama camp wants you to believe.  Don’t want that baby?  It’s your body, mother-to-be.  Choose to abort it.  But any choices around global warming simply don’t exist.  In 2012, we won’t be able to choose incandescent light bulbs any longer as they’ll be banned by the U.S. government.  California is in discussions to control your home’s thermostat.  That’s not a choice, either.  New coal-fired power plant projects are being shut down by environmentalists across this great country.  That’s not the choice I would make, either.  Don’t choose to pay higher prices for goods and services?  Too bad.  Once the carbon credit market hits the United States, prepare to pay higher prices for everything.  You have no choice there, either.  Don’t want your children learning about the global warming myth in public school?  Good luck.  The California school system curriculum is already pushing it and, if you’re like most Americans, you can’t afford to pay for private instruction.  And good luck getting vouchers.  So there’s another choice out the window.

Choosing to live free and making decisions is being controlled more and more by environmentalist types that would rather see us without power than to have some kind of energy in any form.  Rolling blackouts in California?  When was the last time a nuclear power facility was built in this country?  30 years ago?  Where are the great alternative energy breakthroughs in solar, wind, geothermal and hydrothermal?  They don’t exist.  Where’s the wind farm that was proposed off the coast of Nantucket?  Liberal Ted Kennedy didn’t want it in his backyard, so he had a choice, but we don’t.  For all the rest of us, we can choose an ethanol-based gasoline solution that provides fewer miles per gallon and, over the course of the entire production process, creates just as much pollution as oil-based fuel.  Or we can choose automobiles that run on gasoline - even gas-guzzling models if we can afford it - but face funny looks and off-the-cuff remarks from the global warming crowd that don’t believe in free market enterprise.  Just because we can afford the gasoline for a vehicle with a high horsepower engine, we shouldn’t buy one.  I wonder if that’s the next choice that will be removed from our options?  As I’ve said since starting this blog, the global warming hoax is all about taking your money and controlling your lifestyle.  With clear evidence of a lack of choices concerning the climate change movement, you might be hearing “green” but you’ll be seeing red.
