What do I think of when I hear: Global Warming?

I wrote this in response to a question posed on the site:earthsky.org. The words that come to mind depend on who says them. From government I must say socialist method of frightening people into accepting a command economy, i.e. socialism or communism. From the U. N., I think of a method of frightening folks in the west into accepting parity with the third world countries. From true blue believers here in the developed world I hear guilt. Guilt at living in the greatest economy and lifestyle ever. This guilt is lived out in self flagellation and a half hearted desire to be "fair". From the rank and file citizen a reaction to the unending drum beat that the United States in particular and capitalism in general are responsible for all evils on earth.
In reality, there is no compelling evidence that humans have had any effect on global climate at all. There is no compelling evidence that there is a dicernible trend of warming, and what is more: there is no evidence that global warming is a bad thing at all.
The global warming scare is a religious phenomenon: Belief or faith in a thing even though it cannot be proven.
What is sure is that if we as a species succumb to the centralist government on a global basis, we will recreate the dark ages of ignorance and squalor. It will be thousands of years, in all likelyhood, before humandkind once more emerges thinking and allowing the individual to strike out on his own and build something grand and noble.
In a few words: Our global warming scare of today is very much analagous to the flat earth dogma of the Catholic Church in the 1300's and 1400's. Sea farers and explorers knew better but the church insisted on the dogma to control its followers.
You must look at who is to gain by the global warming scare. It sure ain't the developed world or the semi-capitalist countries of the west. Russia, China and the rest of the socialist countries wish us to bind ourselves to ridiculus economic destruction so they can forge forward. Please know, that no matter what treaties these folks sign, they will not abide by them. We quit burning fossil fuels. We destroy our way of life. They keep burning fossil fuels and subjugate us. THe world keeps turning and the climate does what it will. Mankind is remanded to slave status. What have we gained?
Think about it.
