Perfect phrase
Sen Barrasso refers to the Global Warming crime as "The War on Carbon".
Perfect. Wish I'd thought of it.
Places the AGW scam in the tradition of the War on Poverty, War on Drugs, War on Terror. Purpose of such "wars" is to spend unimaginably huge amounts of money and lives while leaving the target problem unsolved. (If the problem ever decreases, your agency's budget will go away.)
The War on Carbon is actually a better idea than the previous "wars".
Poverty, drugs and terror are real problems, so you have to think carefully and work hard to avoid all actions that would decrease the problem. You also need a Plan B in case the problem fades on its own, which does happen sometimes.
Carbon is a complete myth, so you're free to do absolutely anything in the name of "solving" the carbon problem, and you don't need to worry about it going away. When a thing doesn't exist in the first place, it can't fade. Only your set of false stories, false facts, false symptoms and false numbers can go away, and those are much easier to control than a real phenomenon.
In a war against leprechauns riding unicorns, you're free to use Golden Turbo-Snargits and Mark II Diamond-Encrusted Anticoraculators! Touché, Evil Leprechauns! ¶ 9:20 AM
