Mayor Compares Threat of Global Warming to Terrorism

That's right. The mayor of one of the largest cities on the planet is basically proclaiming that the end result of alleged global warming is pretty much equivalent to what many of us have witnessed over the past few years. You know... assassinations, thousands of dead and injured laying strewn about. Religious zealots who strap explosives to mentally reatarded people and send them into a crowded marketplace. Yeah, that's about the same. Hey, and the next time someone has to ship an elephant across the country they can argue for a much lower rate since an elephant and a mouse are about the same too. I mean, they are both four-legged mammals after all.

From the get-go, this article seems to (as they say in New York) "stink from the neck down..."

While he acknowledged that scientists are unable to predict its consequences, Mayor Bloomberg yesterday compared the scourge of global warming to the threat of terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

Really Mr. Mayor? So even though we can't be sure about the consequences of global warming we should go ahead and just have World governments start legislating and putting tabs on people's personal liberties anyway? Sounds like a great plan! Where is the ACLU when you need them?

And what about this?

Other participants in the conference called for a "war" against climate change, in which the United Nations would serve as a front-line combatant.

(I'm sure the 90% socialist members of the UN just salivate over comments like that.)

War against climate change? Does that mean that the U.S. can now consider places like China a "terrorist supporting country or regime?" Does this mean that military action against the likes of China and India could be feasible? Fictional newsfeed: Today the U.S. military conducted several missile strikes against strategic targets in China. Several of these targets were locations considered hi-value in terms of greenhouse gas and other pollutant emissions.

What's most troubling is the guy saying it. I mean it might be different if it was the mayor of Los Angeles or Chicago, but New York? Thousands of New Yorkers witnessed first-hand the end-result of terrorist activity back in 2001. Would any of then agree with their Mayor's premise?

Repeat. Now I've seen everything.
