OUR VIEW

A recent Financial Times editorial (6/25/14) on global warming, "Common Sense On Climate Change," should've been titled "A Leaky Faucet" because if it had any more leaky points it would be labeled such.

Let's start at the bottom first.

American politics has been polarized since day one, not any different from the editorial writer's apparently beloved UK. The only place in politics that bipartisanship ever prevailed is in the dank, foggy misguided minds of do-gooders and editorial writers.

If those pathetic, incompetent Republicans via some miracle gain the White House and Congress, a feat that would put the Immaculate Conception in third place in the Guinness Book of Records, one can only hope they would find the testosterone--certainly not a given with this crowd--to roll back all the damage this administration had done. A consummation devoutly to be prayed for, religious or secular.

Now when it comes to Mayor Bloomberg the editorial writer and I both know deep down inside he really believes climate change is caused by over-sized, 16 ounce sugary drinks in all those plastic cups. If the wacky, schizophrenic Bloomberg were anything but a spoiled billionaire, he'd have the influence of  a toothless chip monk. Money buys its privileges.

Next, the writer comes up with this cutie-pie "....with the aim of moving past the reflexive partisanship that too often defines the debate in America."  One can only suppose the writer suffers from the shallow belief he and his fellow Brits have cornered the market on studying British economic and political history. Such understated condescension is truly British.

Then there's a few of the main characters in the drama, Henry Paulson, Robert Rubin and others, all along with Oil Can Harry excellent choices for villainous roles in a decent Shakespearean yarn. Most are former Goldman Sachs hacks with an axe to grind that has nothing to do with putting money in your pocket and everything to taking it out. 

Along with the anti-gluten hysteria, it's our belief that climate change or global warming, take your pick this week, will turn out to be one of the biggest scams of the 21st Century. We'd give it top billing but, alas, that most likely will come from one of two unique American places, Washington, D.C. or Wall Street. 

Meanwhile, here's another view about the fallacy of climate change.
