The people of the Bahamas have a moral right, if not a legal one,
to demand damages from the United States for our leading role in the ruination
of the planet’s weather systems. They are paying a steep price today for our
sins as Hurricane Dorian pounds them, leaving death and ruin in its wake.
I posted these comments:
There is as much bad as good
from the Trump Administration. Trump’s energy policies top the good. His
approach to climate is to integrate the vital role of energy to human
well-being into his calculations, and to “first do no harm” in addressing
environmental and climate issues.
What do we get from the
opposition? A utopian agenda to transform American society from the top down,
based on hysterical claims of imminent catastrophe from climate witch doctors
intended to panic Americans into voting for a huge step toward tyranny. The new
utopians demand huge new powers for government to seize our wealth and clamp
vast new controls on economic activity. Climate change is a political tactic which
the utopians openly tell us is, as Bernie Sanders said recently, really just
the foundation for a socialist America.
America’s “sin” is to be a
bastion of enough economic freedom to produce prosperity based on production of
huge volumes of plentiful, reliable energy. Prosperity gives humans much better
capabilities to cope with and recover from the inevitable extremes of Earth’s
weather systems. America is a leader in forging that prosperity. And for that
“sin”, the new socialists, on the altar of the witch doctors of climate doom,
want to sacrifice Americans’ remaining freedom and wealth.
The Democrats competing to
outdo each other in forging totalitarian utopian schemes to impose on America,
in the name of “climate crisis.” The latest—Booker’s proposal to ban all fracking, the miraculous new technology that has
unleashed vast new supplies of lifegiving cheap energy. Democrats are truly a
sociopathic party. There is only one word for Moran’s opening
paragraph--betrayal, if not outright treason. On balance, Trump is giving us a
more sane U.S. energy policy.

Moran’s column is not what’s really shocking.
What’s shocking is how many Americans are succumbing to the hysteria.
