re: Is the claim of GW just the GW truthers using the politics of fear?

quote:

---

GW advocates fall into several groups:


a. Scientists whose income is from grants from foundations who want a GW = true outcome from all research.

b. De-developers who don't like growth and think man should live in harmony with nature in a small shack.

c. Marxists who see GW as a way to attack capitalism.

---

I agree that GW advocates fall into the "a", "b"and "c" groups.

However, there is also a "d" group.

d. People including scientists and politicians who are investing in green energy.

Dems obviously relate to 'b' and 'c'. But it doesn't get them a lot of votes. People don't go to the polls and vote based on GW.

GW is just one of the many political fear lies that the left is using in order to get people to go to the polls and vote for the Democrats and against the Republicans.

There are also the political fear lies that Republican's have a "war on women" because they are opposed to abortion and the lie that Republicans want women back in the kitchen; the lie that Republicans are homophobes because they are opposed to same sex marriage; the lie that Republicans are racists because they are opposed to illegal aliens and the lie that if Republicans could they would restore slavery; the lie that Republicans hate poor people because they are against welfare and they exploit the poor through capitalism in order to get rich.

All of those political fear lies added together bring a lot of people to the polls to vote for the Democrats and against the Republicans.

Here's an example of a GW truther lie.

Here in San Francisco the GW truthers are saying San Francisco is in a 3 year "extreme drought" due to GW because in 2011-2012 it rained only 15.64 inches, in 2012 -2013 it rained only 16.61 inches and in 2013-2014 it rained only 12.54 inches.

However, here are the annual rainfall totals of San Francisco since 1849-1850:
