History to Repeat Itself. Back when I was younger (50s & 60s), President Eisenhower warned about the dangers of the Military/industrial complex and Academia dictating Governmental powers (Taxes). It took an uprising of my generation to put a stop to the Vietnam War (too much military power/government involvement in our lives). Now we have our latest generation marching in NYC for MORE government involvement in our lives. Go figure. If you ever wondered if this was about science or politics, all you had to do was see some of the signs folks carried. Capitalism is the disease, Socialism is the cure - highlighted on Weather-Underground. All day The Weather Channel has been preaching about the dangers of Climate Change, even having a panel of experts. They all preached from the same prayer book. Did they ever have anyone on to debate the experts like Dr. Judith Curry of Georgia Tech or Dr. Roy Spenser of University of Alabama-Huntsville? Nope. They dont want any opposing scientific viewpoints. Heres my take. The World runs on AFFORDABLE energy. AFFORDABLE energy produces good paying jobs. What these folks want is for all of us to LOWER our standard of living and pay HIGHER taxes in some misguided belief that we can stop the Planets Climate from changing. We can stop the hungry from being hungry. We can help those homeless & mentally disabled, but we cannot stop our climate from changing. Politics are involved here since the focus on climate change takes the focus off the REAL issues...Terrorism, Good paying Jobs, Immigration. What I dont understand is IF governments forced higher taxes on us to stop the climate from changing, it would hurt the poorest of the poor more than anyone else. Alas, I have not talked much about weather. Our first real front will make for a great feeling the next 2 days. Enjoy! Bob Breck
