COMMENT:<\/strong> Mr. Armstrong; It appears that politicians are attributing any change in the climate to human activity. They have simply either gone mad or just insane,\u00a0seriously distorting everything to\u00a0gain more power and taxes. Now\u00a0 Christine Lagarde<\/strong><\/a> said: \u201cAs I\u2019ve said before if we don\u2019t do anything about climate change now, in 50 years\u2019 time we will be toasted, roasted and grilled.\u201d She is not even elected by anyone yet is dictating the trend globally.<\/p>\n

REPLY:<\/strong> Yes, the phrase\u00a0\u201cclimate change\u201d has come to mean \u201cblaming humans for changing the climate by using oil and gas and coal.\u201d\u00a0They act as if the climate\u00a0should be linear and always the same from one year to the next. They fail to even account for the historical record of ice ages and warming periods long before we started using oil, gas, or coal. There is no doubt that the climate is changing for that is the cyclical\u00a0nature of all things. The only thing more absurd than blaming humans for \u201cclimate change\u201d is\u00a0assuming politicians\u00a0can stop it from changing. They cannot find the missing $3 trillion+ from the defense budget no less manage the economy and prevent the business cycle from booms and busts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
