The Midnight Sun Scenario…

The Coming of the New Ice Age.

I know, those of us who where around in the late ‘70s know that global cooling was the culpritl The point that Zombie at PJ Media makes is that the left’s solution is the same:

The fact that the media and popular culture and academia have veered from one panic-inducing disaster scenario to another one which completely contradicts the first one is funny enough in its own right. But reading The Weather Conspiracy: The Coming of the New Ice Age opened my eyes to an even more significant aspect of this serial crisis-mongering:

The “solutions” prescribed to solve both Global Warming and the looming Ice Age are exactly the same.

In both cases, proponents of the theory-du-jour say that in order to stave off disaster, we must reverse the march of civilization, stop our profligate use of carbon-based fuels, cede power and money from the First World to the Third World, and wherever possible revert to a Luddite pre-industrial lifestyle.

If you want to voluntarily be a Luddite, fine. I’m actually trying to do the same thing. PERSONALLY. I’m not advocating that anyone follow my example… I just want to have a garden, cook my own fresh breads, and, if there weren’t actual laws against it, have a few chickens in the backyard. That probably screws the Luddite goal because more people baking their own bread, more people using their own ovens, oh dear, we can’t have that!

Oh, wait, do current Luddites like Al Gore follow their own teachings? I doubt Al Gore could cook pancakes from scratch,. Just had to throw that in…

No, I’m just trying to simplify my own life and cut household expenses. What YOU do is your choice. And it certainlhy should not be the government’s business.

Zombie goes on to cite an old 1961 Twilight Zone episode, The Midnight Sun:

The scenario we’re in reminds me of the classic Twilight Zone episode called “The Midnight Sun”: At first we see the characters sweltering in increasingly unbearable heat as the Earth, knocked out of its orbit, slowly plummets into the sun. Just as they are all about to burn to death, in typical Twilight Zone fashion, the lead character wakes up — she had in fact merely been having a fever dream about the world getting hotter; in reality, the Earth had been knocked away from the sun, and they’re all going to freeze to death. Ha ha — gotcha!

Just for fun, I found that 1/2-hour episode and I’m posting it in full.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
