Is AGW just the latest pretext for socialism?

Question

"The answer to global warming is in the abolition of private property and production for human need. A socialist world would place an enormous priority on alternative energy sources. This is what ecologically-minded socialists have been exploring for quite some time now."

- Louis Proyect, Columbia University

" We've got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing -- in terms of economic socialism and environmental policy."

- Timothy Wirth, former U.S. Senator (D-Colorado)

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed -- and hence clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

- H. L. Mencken

"No matter if the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits.... climate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world."

- Christine Stewart, Canadian Environment Minister

Answer 1

No… but is ignoring science, having a complete disregard for the lives and well beings of others, corporatism, and "red-baiting" a pretext for fascism?

Answer 2

Yes, it is.

They've tried everything to break down the economy and get people to accept the bonds of socialism.

It's slowly working since more and more seem to want to give up freedom by letting the government have more control over every aspect of their lives.  We used to say we didn't want the government in our bedrooms.  Now we willingly allow these socialist liberals into every room or our house.  In California, for example, they're proposing government control of the thermostat in our homes.  This has to stop.

AGW is just the latest ploy to get people to accept higher taxes and more government control of their lives.  The latest estimate from the democrats is that to pay for warming the planet we need to cough up about 700 trillion dollars.  I don't think we can afford that.  We need to vote out this democrat congress before they completely destroy this country economically.

Note that the global warming scare uses guilt as the driving force. Since we've never been more prosperous in our history, there are many who do not believe the average person deserves a good life through hard work and instead should be punished for their prosperity.

Answer 3

I don't know...socialism at least sounds like it helps the "little people."  This scheme does the opposite.
