First let me start with this:

The text below is from a different article with a different chart but the result is just the same:

The apparent ‘decoupling’ of global heat from atmospheric CO2 concentrations — with the clear divergence of observed temperatures from projected temperatures — provides mounting evidence for falsification of IPCC climate models.

The conclusion:

Some observers of climate data are expecting the Earth to pass through at least a 30 year climate cooling period.

But if you are young you are generally less knowledgable. You therefore need something to show your independance even if that something is totally preposterous and impossible to believe if the facts are closely examined, But it is useful as a means to show independance and to differentiate yourself from your elders off you go. But really, why pick something so damaging that continuing along these lines will wreck your own life? The world is not apt to stay as it is, and your futures are not likely to be as rich and rewarding as were the lives of the generation now heading into retirement if by the policies you support you ruin our energy producing industries and raise production costs that send industry offshore. You may think you are being self sacrificing by your willingness to accept lower living standards for a better world with less carbon in the air. I just think you’re fools.

Which brings to mind this letter to the editor at Barron’s following the election. It was published under the heading, “A Warm Thank You” and so it is.

To the Editor:

This 50-something, white, conservative Republican wishes to thank America’s youth for sacrificing their financial futures and standard of living so that boomers, such as my wife and I, can look forward to a long and comfy retirement, which we could easily have afforded on our own. Now we have the youth as our guarantors and providers of a little something extra.

As reported by the national exit poll conducted by Edison Research, Americans aged 18 to 29 voted 60% to 36% for Barack Obama. Prior to Obama’s re-election, I believed that it was morally wrong for my generation to pass a crushing national debt on to the next one.

The debt will top $20 trillion before Obama moves out of the White House, and it will include spiraling retirement-related costs that the administration has shown zero interest in bringing under control, largely driven by baby boomers piling into the Social Security and Medicare systems.

With the president’s electoral crushing of Mitt Romney, my overriding sense of morality and guilt have vanished. Thank you, kids!

The sad part for these fools is that they have shown little appreciation for irony. Such a bunch of nitwits, but at least there is that one silver lining that we will not have to live most of our lives led by such dumbells as these.
