We don't get a lot of snow where I live, but today we're getting blanketed. The last time we had a white Christmas (with any accumulation) was in 1969. That was several years before I was born.
So naturally, that got me thinking about the looming global warming crisis.
William Jacobson has a good question: "At what point in time should global warming have stopped?" So far, no brave global climate warrior has managed to come up with an answer.
Along the same lines, a Swedish free-market economist muses:
So what is there to say that the pre-industrial era climate is really the optimal climate? That the benefits of a possible warmer climates wouldn't outweigh the disadvantages? I have asked that many times to Al Gore supporters and either gotten no answer at all, or some list of alleged (and exaggerated) disadvantages that completely overlooked the benefits.
Perhaps it's some kind of semi-automated Freudian slip, but it looks like Memeorandum has come up with the most believable global warming prediction I've ever seen:
“Expect more extreme taxes thanks to global warming, say scientists”
Maybe this will become the cardinal 21st century corollary to Ben Franklin's famous aphorism:
"In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes."
Whatever happens to the global climate, extreme taxes will almost inevitably follow!

The whole object from the get-go is more power and more money. What else can we expect?
It's hard to have global socialism if the people are allowed to keep their property
