Government Needs Crisis

The most critical part of a republic form of government, is that the people must elect Godly, moral people to office. Without that we get a government whose purpose is to serve itself, even when it claims to be operating for the good of the people... even when those in government think they are acting for the good of the people.

A common method those in power use to stay in power is to create a crisis. They are then needed to solve that crisis. But what happens is that their solutions create a greater crisis, providing more justification for retaining their position of power so as to deal with the greater crisis.

What do we see now?

We're told we have a "global warming" crisis. It's an interesting crisis. One problem with this crisis is that we don't have good historical temperature data. No one bothered to keep such records until the 20th century.

Another problem is that if we look at the records for the 20th century what we see is a period of global cooling for the first 1/3 of the century; a period of more moderate cooling during the middle part of the century; and a period of warming for the last 1/3 of the century. Then, for the past ten years we've been in a period of global cooling again.

Those claiming crisis tell us that we only have a temporary respite. Within a year or two the temperatures will start to rise again.

By the way, do you remember what the crisis was in 1975? It was global cooling! There were predictions that food production would start to drop within ten years. You can read about it in Newsweek - April 28, 1975 - Global Cooling.
