Green vanity: First Nissan Leaf buyer purchased the car to 'project the image I wanted'. Turning down the planet's temperature? No mention. | GORE LIED

Green vanity is nothing new of course. Personally I’ve noticed that the only homes that I’ve ever seen a Smart Car parked in front of are homes of the wealthy. Smart Cars, the Nissan Leaf, and the like are hardly cars of the masses, their large price tags make them just cool gadgets that soothe eco-egos.

BTW, much like the leafy dashboard display on the Ford Fusion hybrid, has it occurred to anyone else that the name Nissan Leaf is a paradox, i.e. does not a fossil fuel gulping, CO2 (plant food) breathing SUV do more for leaves than a zero emission vehicle?

Vast Solar Eruption Shocks NASA and Raises Doubts on Sun Theory

We are forever being told that the sun is a vast gas ball of hydrogen and helium at the center of our solar system. But new evidence may help prove this isn’t the case after all, according to solar experts who say the sun has an iron core.

A stunned NASA admits, “Astronomers knew they had witnessed something big. It was so big, it may have shattered old ideas about solar activity.”

The Climate Con Con | The American Culture

On Townhall Daily, Duggan Flanakin notes the closure of the “climate conference” in Mexico, which he characterizes as a “clever political con job” organized and suborned by “power-hungry elitists [who] labored behind the scenes” to implement its real purpose: “redistributing the world’s wealth and natural resources.” A co-chair of the conference admitted as much and even used those very words.

But socialists and anarchists alone don’t benefit from the climate con

2. When did global warming so easily get away with becoming “climate change”? With record winter low temperatures again this year in Europe, and similar freezing weather in the U.S., we are given a number of contorted exegeses from climatologists and green activists that, in fact, argue terrible cold is proof of global warming. One wonders: if it were now 80 degrees in New York or dry and 70 degrees in London, would we be told such unseasonable heat was not an artifact, but likewise real proof of climate change?

Philology usually is a good barometer of ideology: when global warming became climate change and now is evolving to “climate chaos,” you can see a case study in deductive thinking, as symptoms are fudged to conform to a preexisting diagnosis. Circular reasoning also is characteristic: we convince the coal-devouring and nuclear-producing Chinese that there is a soon to be big (Western-subsidized) global market for wind turbines and solar panels, given the spread of Gorism among Western elites and grandees, then we frighten Americans that the Chinese will soon capture the entire “green” market that we fostered unless we … (fill in the cap and trade / green subsidy-grant blanks).
