Arctic Sea Ice Recovers to 1979 Levels – Then Why Are the Feds Contemplating a Cow Tax?

While scanning The Drudge Report for newsworthy items that inspire me to comment on, I came across 2 articles bracketed together. The first that the federal government is contemplating instituting a “cow tax” to combat the harmful environmental effects of raising cattle. The other headline? ‘Sea Ice Ends Year at Same Level as 1979′ The sea ice headline has disappeared while contemplating writing this post. However, the original story is still on the web – HERE.

My question is, now that it is being widely reported that Global Warming actually stagnated in 1998 and global temperatures have actually decreased .5 degrees C in the past 2 years, why in the world would the federal government be contemplating a tax on cows? First the obvious. Those in charge in Washington are tax happy. They’ve never seen a tax proposal they haven’t liked. Secondly, because no matter how much evidence you can slap them in the face with, they will cling to this moronic idea that man is solely responsible for the warming of the planet from 1750 – 1998. They ignore evidence proving decreased sunspot activity is actually responsible for the recent decline in temps therefore they ignore evidence that the increases in sunspot activity between 1750 and 1998 actually contributed to the rise in temps. And thirdly, admitting failure is not their strong suit.

Admitting they are wrong won’t be happening. For the next 10 years or so, while their massively expensive “solutions” to man’s contribution to global warming (which they’ve recently re-named climate change) continue to eat up the world’s economies, they will cling to the notion that the cooling trend is some sort of blowback effect of global warming. Their recent generic term “climate change” is a change in semantics designed to make them right when they are actually wrong.

Man’s contribution to the changing weather patterns of this planet is so miniscule that if we all ceased to exist today, the current trend would continue unabated until the cycle concludes. Then it will begin to warm just as it did in 1750.

A “cow tax”? Why not. I’m sure the economy would benefit from an increase in the cost of food. And I’m sure that increasing grocery expenses, which would harm the poor most, will endear the Democrats with the American people.
