global warming a real estate scam?


Marla reports that her 13-year-old daughter came home from school after watching a compulsory viewing of Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth' and announced that their entire suburb was at risk of being submerged.

"We only bought this house three years ago and the area is most definitely not flood prone," says Marla, "and I am angry that schools are now pushing the global warming scam and scaring our kids without a balanced discussion of the opposing point of view."

"It's not just scaring our kids that I'm worried about," adds Marla. "What about real estate values?"

"If this global warming propaganda is taken seriously, it can be used by the real estate industry to wipe out the value of all coastal properties," says Marla, "and I wouldn't be surprised if the real estate industry is in cahoots with the other money grubbing industries that stand to make millions
from these lies."

"So far, the ghastly green movement has only affected us in a minimal way -- recycling rubbish, going without plastic bags and using special light globes, that sort of thing," says Marla, "but having won on these little steps to manipulate our behavior the greenies are now determined to send us all back to the Dark Ages."

"And when they've done that," laughs Marla, "they will indeed inherit the Earth and all of our lovely coastal properties with it!"

"I remember being indoctrinated with anti-smoking propaganda back when I was at school and -- shame of me -- ticking off my grandparents for smoking," sighs Marla, "and look at how powerfully that propaganda worked on my generation."

"Now there is an gigantic anti-smoking industry employing thousands of people promoting bans on smoking, pharmaceutical industries are rolling in money from selling anti-smoking aids and the die-hards who refuse to quit smoking are being taxed to death by our non-smoking governments!"

"Imagine the similar powerful effect that climate warming propaganda may have on the current generation," warns Marla. "If nobody stops this nonsense we are dooming our kids to give up aspirations to own a home and instead to live in caves and have a minimum impact on the environment."

"Already, the green movement is becoming an industry using deluded converts to promote bans on vehicle emissions and measures to cut down our use of water and electricity," says Marla, "and plenty of entrepreneurs are making money out of selling deluded homeowners all sorts of eco-friendly gadgets at exorbitant prices."

"When the next generation has given up home-ownership in favor of living in caves, how much do you think those caves are going to cost them?" asks Marla. "Millions, that's what, and for every one of their carbon footprints they are going to be taxed to death by our carbon-friendly governments."

"Like current smokers, the only people who will be able to afford to live in houses are going to be the very rich -- those who can afford the exorbitant taxes," says Marla. "And that's why, in my opinion, housing affordability is already getting out of hand. It's deliberate policy to force us into eco-friendly trailers and caves."

"My parents were anti-smokers -- probably because their parents smoked -- and as such they didn't balance the propaganda I was learning in school with some 'inconvenient' truths about the dodgy facts being used to demonize smoking," says Marla, "and it's our job, as parents and homeowners, to stop the current global warming propaganda before it, too, gets out of hand."

"In that the anti-smoking propaganda didn't lead me -- as it did others -- to worse drugs, it was definitely good for me," says Marla, "but is the current global warming propaganda going to be as good for all of our kids?"

"If they are being taught that their actions are increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and setting off global climate catastrophes that will submerge whole suburbs if not whole nations and kill millions of people," says Marla, "then isn't this going to make them feel guilty about simply going about their daily lives, using electricity, driving, building a home and starting a family?"

"Won't some kids just give up, decide it's not worth living?"

"I don't see Al Gore and the other global warming enthusiasts living exemplary green lives," laughs Marla, "and if they think they can indoctrinate my daughter into becoming a unwashed cave dweller in order to support them in luxury then they have another think coming."

"I'm not scared of my house being submerged by global warming," says Marla, "but I am scared that at some future time when I may wish to sell that its coastal position may be used as a disadvantage in order to lower its value."
