Richard Courtney: Biblical lessons lost in the rush to control Earth's natural process - The Scotsman

IN THE Bronze Age, Joseph told Pharaoh that climate had always changed everywhere: it always would.
He told Pharaoh to prepare for bad times when in good times, and all sensible governments have adopted that policy throughout the millenniums since.

It is a sensible policy, because people merely complain about taxes in good times. They revolt if short of food in bad times. But several governments have abandoned it and, instead, are trying to stabilise the climate of the entire Earth by controlling it.

What's The Real Cost Of Global Warming?-by DENNIS T. AVERY

November 2, 2009 - Churchville, VA - PipeLineNews.org - The leftish Brookings Institution and the U. S. Chamber of Commerce basically agree that the energy taxes in the House Waxman-Markey bill could total $9 trillion over ten years. As an economist, I look at these forecasts and wonder "How can we possibly know?"

These estimates cover only the costs of the "user permits" that companies will have to buy. They don't even try to measure the massive reduction in our economic output as energy costs double and triple with scarcity.
...
Politicians can pass fossil fuel taxes through today's "tame" legislatures—but they can't make the public obey those laws after they clearly begin to violate human rights and common sense.

Preach for a greener and fairer land - Telegraph

I have no idea whether global warming is real or not, but I have yet to see any analysis of the competing sciences from the Church of England. It's just an article of faith that we're poisoning the planet with CO2.

Then it dawned on me. Reading the C of E's submission to ARC, I had something of an epiphany. It was suddenly seeing all the references, as if for the first time, to "global justice" and "solidarity with the poor and most vulnerable" and "sustainable ways of living". This isn't really about saving the planet at all.
