Dori: ‘Scientists’ pushing carbon tax are social justice warriors

The phony science of the carbon tax, I-1631, is another example of scientists abandoning scientific truth in order to be social justice warriors.

I’ve told you for years that I believe that man has some impact on the climate, but I certainly don’t believe it’s as great as the Al Gores of the world would have you believe. The scientists have been consistently wrong on this over the decades. First, it was the article that a new ice age was coming, and then they were reporting on global warming, but the planet didn’t warm, so they had to switch it to climate change.

When I say that I flat-out don’t believe the hysteria, the hysteria that the seas that will rise and turn Iowa into a coastal state, people always say, “Do you think you’re smarter than the scientists?” The thing is, scientists lie all the time. They lie because they embrace social justice causes more than they embrace science. When you have 1,600 scientists saying that your chromosomes and your genitalia have nothing to do with your sex, those scientists are fools. And when we have 96 percent of the scientific community saying we have to raise our taxes by billions of dollars so we can have zero impact on the environment, those scientists are fools. They are charlatans. And they are working not for the science of the planet, but to find a way for government to control billions of taxpayer dollars so that they can be toasted at cocktail parties.

You know the facts of 1631. It will do nothing to make the climate any different. It will cost your family hundreds of dollars a year. Gas prices could go up 59 cents a gallon, so it will hurt the poor and working class disproportionately. It will cost more to heat your home. Food prices will go up because everything gets to market via truck. It will be $1,000 per family per year. To do nothing. Why? Because the scientific community says we have to do something. And just as they are willing to lie about the role of biology in sex, they have been lying about the role of the man in climate change. This is as phony as you can get.

I’m not a climate denier. Like I said, I think man does play a role in climate change. But I also think that however man affects the planet will be incremental. The seas are not going to rise by meters, but by millimeters. And human beings will do what we’ve done for millennia — adapt to a changing world. It is not worth spending billions of dollars on a carbon tax that will have no impact.

And by the way, what is our environmentalist governor doing on election day? He’s not going to be in-state. He’s flying all around the country on a jet that burns an extraordinary amount of fossil fuels so that he can raise his national profile to run for president in 2020. If he really was serious about saving the planet and believed his own words, he would adapt his own lifestyle so that he does not burn fossil fuels at a phenomenal rate.

The politicians pushing this carbon tax don’t care. They couldn’t care less about any of this stuff.
