Global-warming alarmists are using the myth of climate change to impose an embryonic socialist world government. Following the collapse of communism, the West’s progressive elites desperately searched for a viable ideological alternative. They found it in environmentalism.

The problem with this strategy is the same as the problem with worshiping the Soviet Union and communism. Communism doesn't work, and eventually it collapsed.

Global warming doesn't exist, and (I suspect sooner, rather than later) it, too, will collapse as a feasible ideology.

There are still cranks wandering around muttering, "Communism would work, if we could just implement it properly. Some of those cranks are doubtless in the White House. Twenty years from now, other cranks will be wandering around ranting about hockey sticks and our imminent doom, and nobody will pay them any attention either.

The truth is, Obama is a fascist, and he's trying to enlarge his power by making deals with big business along the lines of: Let me control this much, and I'll make sure your profit stream remains undisturbed. The bedrock definition of fascism is that the means of production remain privately owned, but the control of their actions resides in the hands of the state.

Government is a club. Corporations understand this, and will always try to make use of the club to improve their own prospects. Which is why the crusade to reinvigorate a conservative politics is so important. If we cannot somehow diminish the power of that club, then communism won't be our problem. Fascism will.
