<!--StartFragment --> RITA AND GLOBAL WARMING
Just as with Hurricane Katrina a few weeks ago, the Euro-weenies are weighing in on Hurricane Rita. We're being told by our brethren on the other side of the pond that global warming is to blame for the pending catastrophe. An interesting position, isn't it? Today's comments come to us courtesy of (get ready for a long title here
Sir John Lawton, chairman of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution in the UK.
He is peddling the nonsense that hurricanes are caused by global warming. Why, it's the increased warming of the ocean! Says the good Sir: "The increased intensity of these kinds of extreme storms is very likely to be due to global warming." He calls hurricanes like Katrina and Rita the "smoking gun" of global warming.
But if you read a little further into the article in the British "newspaper" (and I use that term loosely) about his comments, the real agenda is revealed. Just like his counterparts in the environmental movement in the United States, this has nothing to do with the environment. What it all comes down to is his hatred of capitalism and his hatred of George W. Bush. Again, Sir Lawton: "If this makes the climate loonies in the States realize we've got a problem, some good will come out of a truly awful situation."
Some good come out of a hurricane? Really...just how many enviro-wackos are secretly cheering on Hurricane Rita because it is bearing down on Houston, which is the center of the United States oil industry? But here's the real question: would there still have been a Hurricane Katrina and a Hurricane Rita had we signed onto the Kyoto protocol?
Yup. The reason why is simple: global warming, if it even exists, doesn't cause hurricanes. The reason why is so simple it's almost impossible for the left to grasp: we've been having hurricanes since the beginning of time.
