Arnold returns for ‘climate change’ confab

by John Seiler | September 10, 2014 1:24 pm

Global warming, notWhile restarting his acting career and going through numerous personal crises[1], Arnold Schwarzenegger has avoided reminding people he was the governor for seven disastrous years. He returned to Sacramento this week to sponsor a confab on what he once called “global warming,” as in his AB32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006[2].

“Global warming” now is called “climate change,” which can mean anything from a meteor hitting the earth to a centimeter less of rain than the local TV meteorologist predicted.

The meeting was called: “Climate Symposium-Global Climate Negotiations: Lessons From California.” Of course, there’s one lesson that Arnold learned: postpone a new regulation’s economic damage until long after you’ve left office.

Only next January will AB32’s massive tax of up to 76 cents more a gallon slam California drivers. It’s so regressive a tax that Democratic Assemblyman Henry Perea of Fresno sponsored AB 69[3] to postpone the tax’s imposition for three years, providing relief to his poor constituents with long commutes. His fellow Democrats, supposedly the “party of the poor,” killed the bill.

Schwarzenegger himself is worth around $700 million, so he won’t even feel the tax. He tools around Southern California in gigantic, gas-guzzling Bentleys [4]and Mercedes[5], yet forces the rest of us to squeeze into tiny cars or mass transit. Following the rules he imposed is for us, not him.

According to the USC Schwarzenegger Institute, worthies attending the symposium included, “Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor Jerry Brown, California Senator Kevin De Leon, Mary Nichols, Dr. R.K. Pachauri, Lisa Jackson and Ed Begley Jr.”

Not one global-warming/climate-change skeptic in the bunch, despite Climategate 1, Climategate 2 and Climategate 3[6] — scandals which showed the “scientists” involved in the “research” actually cooked the books. It’s like in the Soviet Union when Trofim Lysenko[7]‘s phony biological theories were imposed, with no opposition allowed. Well, at least global-warming doubters aren’t sent to the Gulag.

If Arnold,  Brown and the others really believed in global warming/climate change, they would take only mass transit.

Meanwhile, the evidence keeps coming in[8] that there just has been no global warming now for 18 years[9]! See the chart at the top (click to enlarge), which stands as of June (then  add 3 months for Sept. 2014).

Global warming/climate change is just another scam to increase government control over our lives, increase taxes, sent profits to Al Gore[10] and others — and make Arnold think he’s important.
