Bad Theory Gone Wild
Japanese are moving forward with a plan to
label goods with their global warming footprint number.
Now, considering that the alarmists are claiming that millions will die and coastal plains will be flooded, I have to seriously wonder what good a label will do. I could see this happening in a movie that was a farce. “Oh, we’re all going to die! Let’s make a label!” But this is real life. Or actually a really bad theory gone wild.
If global warming is real, the only solution is to stop driving cars and industrial production according to the global warming theory itself. How is a label of any use? Would the consumers comparison shop between two cans of soup and pick the soup with the lowest global warming footprint number? Then they could go home and eat their cold soup (because heating it would leave a carbon footprint) satisfied that they had done their part in reducing global warming.
Here's the problem. According to the theory, global warming is under way. Until and unless we cease all production and car driving, the CO2 will continue to rise. All these solutions merely move the apocalyptic date down the road. None solve the problem.
Instead of solving the problem, the legislators are killing economies there and everywhere. What is the cost of producing these labels? Of course we would need to hire more bureaucrats to determine the footprint levels of all these products. And we would need more bureaucrats to determine the footprint number of each product. We would need footprint label police to ensure that businesses do not misrepresent their footprint number. Oh, and the fines! We will be able to fine businesses that do not have a label or have the wrong label or have the wrong number on the label. Maybe the business owner could even be put in jail.
I don't think that the average thinking person has fallen for this hoax. However, the machinery is in place to strangle every economy in the world. The news reports slant towards global warming, teachers teach it in school and legislators whose only goal is to get elected are not about to rock the boat by proclaiming disbelief.
