The 15 Theses

By Trenton Hansen

When Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenburg, he was challenging the authority of the prevailing religion of the day, the Catholic Church. In a way, his struggle mirrors our own today.

Instead of an infallible Pope, we have Al Gore unilaterally pronouncing the debate over. Instead of corrupt priests, we have climate scientists parroting the “Pope” in exchange for favors. I could go on.

Recognizing I am about 80 short, I hereby post my own 15 statements of rebellion against the new Universal Church of the Earth. I call this “My Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Climate Legislation, including the Kyoto Protocol.”

I deny that Global Warming has any significant connection to human industrial activities.

I deny that we are destroying the planet.

I deny the claims that we are causing glaciers to melt, polar bears to drown, arctic ice to retreat, sea levels to rise, acne to increase, or any of the numberless things that have recently been attributed to Climate Change.

I deny the assertion that humans are parasites, a cancer, a plague, or any other fear-laden word abused by green activists.

I deny environmentalists any right to impose legislation that will adversely affect my way of life, or that will harm my family’s way of life.

I deny the false assertion that eco-activists have any concern for human welfare.

I deny the assumption that we must change our way of life to more closely match those of third-world countries in order to protect the environment.

I deny Barak Obama’s claim that leadership in the world means we should acquiesce to the demands of other countries regarding how much we can eat, what we can drive, or how we should live.

I deny that our American way of life is a threat to other nations.

I deny that the Kyoto Protocol will do anything about cooling the planet.

I deny the assertion that CO2 is a pollutant, and that it is harmful to the planet.

I deny that we can stop Global Warming, or Climate Change, or whatever other term the environmentalists wish to abuse this month.

I deny that the Left can come up with anything positive for human progress.

I deny that Leftists have any right to call America home while they work tirelessly to pull it apart and destroy it.

In conclusion, I am willing to concede that I can be called a denier. I’m in good company. Given that the temperature decrease of this year alone has offset the past 100 years of warming, and that the IPCC has predicted a cooling trend for at least the next 15 years, how can anyone who now continues to claim that human activities are to blame for climate change expect to be taken seriously? Some people will continue this “struggle” to save the planet in the face of mounting evidence that that our planet doesn’t need saving. They want one of two things: a cause or power. It’s not hard to see who wants which.

I am a denier, and as far as it is in my ability I will deny both of these things to those who have proven that they will only abuse them. I encourage you to do the same.
