The Big Global Warming Offenders

By Matthew Bandyk

Posted: November 17, 2009

Here's a pretty cool graphic of countries around the world and how much they increased or decreased their greenhouse gas emissions from 2006 to 2007. Predictably, there are way more increasers than decreasers. But the top three that increased their emissions the most might surprise you.

Venezeula - 14.2 percent

United Arab Emirates - 10 percent

Australia - 9.2 percent

So Australia pumped out more emissions at a rate almost nine times that of the United States.

Chile had the biggest decrease—even more so than Germany and France.

And for those who constantly see a stream of lines across their once beautiful clear skies, it may be down to a solution which would have conspiracy theorists saying 'I told you so'. Even the pilots believe they are fighting global warming, let's be clear, it's not your usual condensation from a jetliner:

Google: US Patent 5003186

(Look at Page 2: Background of the invention. "One proposed solution..")

So, entirely unbelievable?

"So Australia pumped out more emissions at a rate almost nine times that of the United States."

So what you're concluding is that Australia is a bigger global warming 'offender' than the US, it's great how figures can be construed, isn't it? I would beg to differ that the deployment and movement of masses of US military personnel and equipment represents the combined peaceful energy consumption of the entire population of Australia (22 million people). The new climate bills including Cap&Trade do not include US military personnel so I assume that will be omitted and self-sufficient nations are labelled 'offenders'.

Yet the loudest barkers are the ones with the biggest shares in the Carbon Trading business.. do your research if you haven't already.

"Did you know that the Earth has been cooling for the last decade? Did you know that the poles of the planet are gaining about as much ice as they are losing? Did you know that for 420,000 years changes in the Earth's temperature have happened before changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide? These are not things that you are likely to learn by listening to the mainstream media." Erik Bays, A Logical Argument Against Man Made Global Warming for the Layman.

Much like the all the scares of the last 10 years (and I'm being very conservative there to save time): terrorism, influenza, global warming, nuclear enrichment programs - I see them as purely industrial-political tools of deception hellbent on taking control of the planet financially and politically (and no, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, just logical). The religious proportions this desperately unproven climate theory has taken is a scary reminder of how easily we are manipulated by hijacked-science splashed on newspapers with no real chance for rational debate before the 'solutions' are rolled out.

The bills and legislations being pushed out globally to enforce restricions on the very compounds we need to survive and are made out of will not only add to the pressure of the economic struggle we are wading through but directly impede the development of the the third world (google: globalw swindle)
