EDITORIAL: Wearing out words They’re changing the name of the global-warming scam again

Global warming is a fantasy dreamed up by the left in the hope that it could frighten Americans into embracing a big-government agenda they would otherwise reject.

Organizing for Action, President Obama’s campaign machine declared Tuesday “climate change day,” encouraging everyone to pepper skeptical members of Congress at town-hall meetings with questions about why they won’t raise taxes to avert the doom of the planet.

Even the most agile of senators won’t be able to dodge these community organizers, because the League of Conservation Voters will spend $2 million filling the airwaves with an attack on any congressman who won’t get with the program.

The doomed planet movement has been losing momentum. Inconvenient scientific findings have confirmed the lack of any significant warming of dear old Earth over the past 16 years. It’s hard to scare people into action when nothing bad is happening. That’s why the White House has changed its vocabulary again — first “global warming” was changed to “climate change” — and now the correct name of the scam is “carbon pollution.” It’s a way to paint carbon dioxide as if it were black soot billowing out of industrial smokestacks. Carbon dioxide is actually what humans exhale, and it’s food for plants.

Federal employees who dare note the inconsistency of the global warming fairy tale are shunned. Five months into her job as head of the Department of Interior, Secretary Sally Jewell sent a clear message to her 70,000 employees. She doesn’t want to hear any dissent, the First Amendment be damned. “I hope there are no climate change deniers in the Department of Interior,” she warned a gathering of employees.
