'Three Gorges Damn' or 'China Bashing'

When governments, here and around the world, are trying to financially shackle their citizens with carbon taxes in the name of global warming, China gets a pass. China is now by far the greatest producer of greenhouses gases, and constructing coal burning power plants on a weekly basis. Yet it is the United States, leading the world in environmental technologies, that needs to be brought in line, put in those shackles, or the world is doomed.

And as many thousands have died, and many more are suffering, an attack on nuclear energy is taking much of the stage as several reactors struggle to avoid meltdown in Japan after their earthquake and subsequent tsunami. A meltdown that actually poses no real danger. The reactors having survived an unbelievably powerful earthquake should suggest that nuclear power can be safe.

A war on energy just another manifestation of the left's package of strategies to tell their fellow man, in no uncertain terms, that they cannot take care of themselves. That they should all submit to their wisdom, the salvation they can provide simply because they know better. Now fracking fluid has been listed as a possible cause for an earthquake in the United States. The United States again the villain.

And we keep giving China a pass, President Obama even treating their delegations like deserving royalty.

The earthquake Japan, some speculated, may have been caused by the supermoon. The gravitational forces pulling on the tectonic plates at greater strength than normal as the moon comes closer to earth than usual.

The three gorges damn slowed the rotation of the earth. What kind of mass that entails. Wow! A mass setting on something much less massive than the entire earth. Setting on a tectonic plate. So again, if we are going to say man can transform the climate, and cause earthquakes, if we are going to operate on that premise, China is again the chief suspect. If not for the quake itself, certainly the magnitude... if the left wants to be consistent.

Just another example of how those grabbing for control, in the name of the good of all mankind, could care less about their fellow man. If they did, they would focus the fight against global warming on China. They would have opposed the three gorges damn. And if they cared about their fellow man, they wouldn't honor a regime that is brimming with corruption and human rights abuses. That would be China. And they wouldn't be focusing a world wide campaign against nuclear power in the face of all those suffer devastation. An intellectually weak argument, as the reactors protected their cores in the face of forces beyond the original design criteria.

Is it unfair to bash China in regards to the recent earthquake? Perhaps, but it points out the hypocrisy of those claiming they know better. Those who put policy before people, to put it in the simplest of terms.
