Today in Investor's Business Daily: The Warm Turns
Climate Change: The Earth has been warming ever since the end of the Little Ice Age. But guess what: Researchers say mankind is to blame for that, too.
San Francisco News - 2008: The Year S.F. Allegedly Grew Up
Another favorite venue for childish San Francisco playacting concerns the city's Toyland conception of how to care for planet Earth. By December, an Associated Press piece declared the ecological crisis a "ticking time bomb" that has eliminated as much Arctic ice as would cover Alaska, Texas, and California.

San Francisco had spent the previous eight years treating climate change the way a child might. The mayor offered pretend solutions such as cutting back on bottled water. In 2008, it was electric cars. Newsom made press hoopla by associating himself with Project Better Place, an electric car rental company, saying its three Bay Area cars would help make San Francisco America's "greenest" city.

The Board of Supervisors jumped into the enviro-phony game with a measure banning grocery stores from using plastic bags — unless they were thicker "reusable" ones. The result was that many stores started using the more pernicious thick bags to get around the law.

"This year coming up is the most important opportunity the world has ever had to make progress in solving the climate crisis," the AP story quoted Al Gore as saying.

Translation: Grow up, San Francisco.

The fact is that there are so many holes in this so-called Green Movement. You truly have to have faith to believe it. I just happen to find it hilarious that so many edumacated people could be so gullible, as if emotion completely blocks all rationale.
