How Do We Believe “Official” Government Reports?
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
I’m in the process of reading an official report on how climate change is going to be the ruin of our entire world, especially the corn-growing areas of the Midwest. I haven’t finished it yet, but I’ve gotten to the part that says the planet is definitely warming up and there’s no doubt that it’s caused by man.
They don’t get into the details of how the warming might have something to do with the places that their “official” climate monitoring stations are located as highlighted by Anthony Watts at www.surfacestations.org. They also haven’t indicated, in what I’ve been able to read so far, that anything less than the company line, might get somebody ostracized, as this information indicates regarding an EPA official who didn’t go along with the proper mind-set in regard to this official policy.
We know their story – and they are sticking to it. You greatly increase your chances to get Congress to pass a law to tax and punish energy use with the “official” crisis being what you say it is. You also might not get corn growers to fall into line and support the game plan without them “feeling the heat” of what you want them to believe. Then again if you promise the corn growers how well it will be for them to foster ethanol production and minimum tillage conservation practices they might not put a pencil to the increased costs, reaching for the gracious handouts being provided.
For those who might want to read up on the “official” report for themselves, we offer this link for the purpose of sharing the Executive Summary.
