William S. Becker: Grading a Climate Bill, Part 3: The Top 10 Bogus Statements in the Climate Debate

No. 3 BS: All of this spending on a "new energy economy" is placing a terrible debt on our children.

Reality check: The far more serious burden we leaving to our children is carbon debt. We can repay public debt, particularly if we have a national economy that isn't made bankrupt by natural disasters, drought, disease and the other predicted consequences of climate change. We cannot repay the carbon debt. The negative impact of carbon debt goes far beyond money, to the core of our security and quality of life. Our children will suffer from its burdens for hundreds, even thousands, of years.

Environmentalists & Population Control

So for environmentalists it is essential we save the spectacled bear, the vaquita (I know!), the Eurasian lynx, the black spider monkey and of course who can forget the unfortunate bearded vulture. They always want to save a double titted something or other. But the humans? They don't need to be saved. On the contrary. Abort, cull or better yet let just them die a slow and painful death. Sounds absurd? Everyday in Uganda 370 children die from malaria. There is a simple and effective way to stop this Silent Slaughter. It would involve using DDT which environmentalists have made sure is banned. They continue campaigning to keep the ban in place. And the children keep dying. I think the death of 370 children every day is a tragedy that all compassionate and campaigning people should want to stop. However I can’t find the Ugandan child on any environmentalist endangered species list.

Converting rapidly from coal-generated energy to gas is President Barack Obama’s most obvious first step towards saving our planet and jump-starting our economy. A revolution in natural gas production over the past two years has left America awash with natural gas and has made it possible to eliminate most of our dependence on deadly, destructive coal practically overnight – and without the expense of building new power plants.
