Is Socialism the Cure for Global Warming?

And assuming it's real, are humans causing it?

The whole global warming debate comes down to one thing, and it's not whether global warming is real: the question is whether people are causing it.

Why is that the question?  Because if global warming either isn't happening or isn't caused by people (i.e., it's a natural phenomenon), there's nothing we can do about it.  But if it's real and if people are causing it, there might be a whole lot we can do.

And what the global warming crowd wants to do is simple:  socialize everything.

It's no accident that, after stepping down as the mass-murdering dictator of the Evil Empire, Mikhail Gorbachev's first "job" was as head of an environomental group.  The eco gang is a bunch of watermelons:  green on the outside and red all the way through.  This doesn't mean they're never right, just as Communists were sometimes right about this or that as well.  It just means that all their solutions boil down to taking from you and giving to the state.

So it's a very big deal…
