In an article from Common Dreams saying the 'Polar Vortex' is due to global warming we find this little gem:
From Common Dreams:
The idea that any particular "weather event" is or is not climate change [...] belies the deeper fact that all weather events are complex results of underlying climate conditions. As Jim Naureckas, a journalist at the media watchdog group FAIR, explained to his readers in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines last year, "attributing particular weather events to climate change is ridiculously easy."The planet's entire history of radical climate change through millions of years now takes a back seat to human emissions. We're told to believe one theoretical change in degree by humankind is bringing the planet to the brink of disaster -- yet somehow the planet survived multiple ice ages, multiple warm periods, and even a mass extinction event which wiped out the dinosaurs.The reason for that, he continues, is because (emphasis his):
"Every weather event in the modern world is attributable to climate change. This is because weather is a chaotic system, which is to say it varies wildly based on initial conditions. Once we raised global temperature by a degree Celsius?which is an enormous intervention in the physical world?we irrevocably changed all weather, producing an entirely different set of events than the ones that would have otherwise occurred."
If you haven't yet realized it, global warmists are an hysterical doomsday cult. When their end-of-the-world global warming predictions failed to materialize, they rebranded their doctrine to "climate change," something which has always been a constant throughout the history of the world, and conveniently something which they hoped could not be "disproved" because it can mean whatever one wants it to mean. To quote Mr. Naureckas, "every weather event" is proof.
What would be truly remarkable and unprecedented is if the climate stopped changing, to suggest the climate changing is some sort of proof of our sins against the planet and our need for repentance by trashing all modernity and returning to the stone age is thoroughly anti-science and anti-human. If there was such a need for a constant permanent climate, the most likely way it would be achieved is through human ingenuity, not through "returning to nature" and getting what we've always got; a constantly changing climate.
The scientific profession, like our economy as a whole, is being destroyed due to political meddling by corrupt politicians intent on enriching themselves at everyone else's expense. The grants given to scientists to research global warming takes scientists' focus away from real issues such as improving technologies and making scientific breakthroughs which improve life on our planet and instead has them studying the migration patterns of birds and how they may or may not be impacted by one degree's change in temperature. Rather than working to invent a new efficient engine, they're working to invent justifications for political policies.
Ironically, this massive drain on human progress could actually bring about the doomsday mass extinction event they so fear, because rather than humanity become independent of the need for planet earth altogether, we're still entirely dependent on it. If we all die to a supervolcano, a devastating meteor strike, or a massive solar flare, what a shame it will be we hadn't colonized space because our scientists were too busy studying global warming's effect on the mating habits of salamanders.

The underlying "engine" of all this is the fact that modern capitalist economy can't function without some "big idea" at every given period, the catalyst of the development. Like drug addict, it can't live daily life in just "regular mode", it needs a doze of stimulant. In various periods it was different things - building the roads, exploring the universe, then was short period of Y2K hysteria, then security hysteria. Given that the global warming, or climate change, is much less harmful than "war on terror", maybe it's the lesser evil. They're both frauds. A free market economy unlike the state-capitalism we have today is driven by production, not state theft and redistribution. Through the servicing of people's needs you make profit, not through lobbying the criminals in power to give you tax-slaves' loot. Real capitalism is about voluntary trade, you want what someone else has so you trade them something you value less for something you value more -- you want an apple more than you want a dollar, the farmer wants a dollar more than an apple -- both profit in such an exchange. State-capitalism based around central banking and an ever expanding money supply is dependent on constant expansion like any other ponzi scheme, yet when things come crashing down 'free markets' are blamed. If by modern capitalism you mean state-capitalism or non-free market fascism then I agree, but free market capitalism should not be tarnished by something which is it's polar opposite. There have been 5 mass extinctions in the history of life on earth and we are living in the 6th. Climate change deniers seem to all be the same. Taking a practical, testable and proven phenomenon and twisting it to be some dastardly feat of mental manipulation by the powers that be. Whether or not it is natural or man-made, climate change does indeed happen...it is not inconsequential as you all seem to be implying. Chris I like your site but sometimes i wonder if you are directing your distrust at the right issue...well, mostly just the climate change thing. It seems more like a "haha I was right, scientists are wrong" sort of deal. Once again I like your site and do agree with much of what you post. Also I agree that the yellowstone supervolcano, solar unrest, cosmic impacts, magnetic polar shifts and nuclear disasters are potentially much more immediate and definitely need to be addressed. anybody notice that the climate change people wear the heaviest coats and clothes?
