Bob Lutz, Chairman of General Motors

Reward a hero - buy GM

 By Tom Deweese  Saturday, February 16, 2008

Bob Lutz, Chairman of General Motors is a rare man. He actually says what he thinks and this time what he thinks is absolutely right.

Lutz told a group of reporters that “global warming is a crock of sh*t.” Lutz then went on to hit Toyota, saying the Prius “makes no economic sense.”

Lutz is reacting to a tsunami of propaganda now pouring out of the corporate world telling us all to “Go Green.” These corporations are reacting to massive lobbying and black mail from radical environmental groups which threaten the corporations unless they toe the “green” line. But the science is beginning to show that it’s all unnecessary and, as Lutz says, is a “crock of sh*t.”

The fact is Lutz is not alone. As the politics of Global Warming invades more of our personal lives and affects the economy, skeptics are growing by leaps and bounds.

In late December of 2007 a U.S. Senate report noted that over 400 prominent scientists for more than two dozen countries recently voiced significant objections to major aspects of the so-called “consensus” on man-made global warming.

Earlier, in November, 2007, the founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman, wrote an article attacking the global warming hype.

Coleman wrote, “It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed consensus.”

But oh, you say, this is all a right wing conspiracy to discredit true science. Consider this from the New York Times as it quoted Alex Gourevitch, a doctorial candidate in political theory at Columbia University, who said global warming is “the politics of fear.”

Gourevitch added, “Environmentalism is not just some politics. It’s a political project, a full-bodied ideology, and one that presents itself in terms of progress and aspiration. But when you look at what this ideology is built on, it’s built in the idea that a collective threat that makes security the basic principle of politics and makes the struggle for survival the basic and central aim of our social and political life.” He then compared the environmental movement with the war on terror.

The Green Con is being dumped on us through the massive advertising budgets of multi-national corporations like Toyota British Petroleum and General Electric as they fight to be politically and environmentally correct. They also are using the climate change panic to encourage government to pass legislation that coincidentally helps them sell a product.

Case in point is General Electric which helped write the new energy bill that bans the incandescent bulb in favor of GE’s new “green” lights. It just happens that the new bulbs cost 6 times more than the incandescents. Welcome to the new planned economy run by partnerships between business and government. But don’t call it free enterprise.

The science is there for all to see. While proponents of Global Warming consensus like Al Gore are trying to hush and even punish skeptics for speaking out on our supposedly free society, more and more skeptics are starting to be heard. Man-made Global Warming is not a proven fact and more debate needs to be heard before draconian laws in its name are allowed to destroy our very society.

So the Chairman of General Motors, through all of this bad science, hype and political correctness has actually managed to utter some truth. Of course he’s being drawn and quartered for it. But to quote General Patton, “A man that eloquent must be saved.” Buy a car from GM and take a stand for truth.
