Why did global warming as a theory only come into being in the late 1980s?
They've known about how C02 and carbon function for over a century and they
must have know since the Industrial Revolution about the production of
gasses like it?

Because it's a socialist scam.

After the collapse of communism in the late 1980's, the socialist whackos looked around
for a good scare story to frighten the masses into submission.

Lo and behold, Fudgin' Hansen obliged by starting his now infamous scaremongering!

Global Warming, Socialism's Trojan Horse

More On Gorbachev

8 Apr 2008

QUOTE: Clearly, Mr. Gorbachev has identified environmentalism as a Trojan horse capable of
resurrecting socialism on a global scale.

QUOTE: In writing the introduction to this excellent book, Dr. Maltsev states: "Gorbachev
never learned economics in school. In all my dealings with him I had never seen even a
slight flash of economic insight, or even the desire to learn more about economics. He
preferred to think like a communist: everything can be done by issuing orders and
demanding obedience, no matter how perverse, contrary to human nature, and brutal they may
be."

QUOTE: Even while he was heralded in the West as a great reformer, he was also running
labor camps, committing human rights violations, and sending people to prison for speech
crimes. As the Soviet Union came to an end, the public had been reduced to a collective of
hunter gatherers, barely living at a subsistence level.

QUOTE: Gorbachev told a reporter, 'I've been told more than once that it is time to stop
swearing allegiance to socialism.' 'Why should I? Socialism is my deep conviction, and I
will promote it as long as I can talk and work'."

QUOTE: Without a doubt, Mikhail Gorbachev views environmentalism (with its anti-capitalist
mentality) as the movement most likely to succeed in defeating capitalism

So who are these former Reds who have converted to Green Socialism?

One excellent example is Mikhail Gorbachev. Mr. Gorbachev is now the president of Green
Cross International (a non-governmental environmental organization). Among the many issues
with which Green Cross International has become involved, global warming is right at the
top of its list.

Gosh, when Mikhail Gorbachev, Ronald Reagan, and Margaret Thatcher became so chummy in the
mid-1980s, I never once heard the Soviet dictator express concern about the environment.

Clearly, Mr. Gorbachev has identified environmentalism as a Trojan horse capable of
resurrecting socialism on a global scale.

How can I say that about Mikhail Gorbachev?

Didn't he bring glasnost (freedom of speech) and perestroika (economic and political
reforms) to the Soviet Union? Indeed he did. Yet, these were means to his end of trying to
save Soviet Communism and, therefore, to save his absolute and unspeakable power (that
brought human misery to millions).

Perhaps I am being too harsh on Mr. Gorbachev?

To this I simply respond, read Requiem for Marx (edited by Yuri N. Maltsev). Dr. Maltsev
was a reformist member of the Institute of Economics of the Soviet Academy of Sciences
until he defected in 1989

(he now is an Associate Professor of economics at Carthage College and is a senior fellow
of the Ludwig von Mises Institute).

In writing the introduction to this excellent book, Dr. Maltsev states: "Gorbachev never
learned economics in school. In all my dealings with him I had never seen even a slight
flash of economic insight, or even the desire to learn more about economics. He preferred
to think like a communist: everything can be done by issuing orders and demanding
obedience, no matter how perverse, contrary to human nature, and brutal they may be."

This certainly isn't the image painted by the United States' adoring press corps.
Gorbachev seems to be so nice.

To this I respond with another excerpt (regarding the "nice" Mr. Gorbachev) from Yuri
Maltsev's introduction in Requiem for Marx:

What he did in the Baltic States - authorizing the Soviet military to crack the skulls of
innocent people in the Baltics - qualified him to be included among history's litany of
murderous rulers, but he was never included.

Even while he was heralded in the West as a great reformer, he was also running labor
camps, committing human rights violations, and sending people to prison for speech crimes.
As the Soviet Union came to an end, the public had been reduced to a collective of hunter
gatherers, barely living at a subsistence level.

Maybe the former Soviet dictator has changed.

Perhaps Mikhail Gorbachev really does care about the environment and has no interest in
resurrecting socialism.

To this, I simply refer one last time to Requiem for Marx. Yuri Maltsev states: "Before
the coup that removed him from power, Gorbachev told a reporter, 'I've been told more than
once that it is time to stop swearing allegiance to socialism.' 'Why should I? Socialism
is my deep conviction, and I will promote it as long as I can talk and work'."

Without a doubt, Mikhail Gorbachev views environmentalism (with its anti-capitalist
mentality) as the movement most likely to succeed in defeating capitalism

"Why is global warming theory so young?"

It's only 10% young. The other 90% goes back at least 11,711 years.
