Good article about the attacks one faces when opposing the AGW cult
Pretty similar to the attacks in this thread. If you don't run with the sheep you're a "retard", a "right-wing whacko", a "redneck" or you "suck Bushes cock", etc.
Meanwhile the world has spent over 1 trillion dollars with zero effect on something that has become as much of a blind faith excercise as any religion. The followers believe themselves to be enlightened and wise while declaring the doubters "misled", or in their best vernacular "stupid".
Hacks like Al Gore make millions peddling his "documentary" and travellling side-show while scientists like
Henrik Svensmark and
Richard Lindzen, and films like
The Great Global Warming Swindle are all marginalized because they dare to speak out against the "consensus".
And you know what they say about environmentalists: they're like watermelons - green on the outside and red on the inside. Environmentalism is the new Marxism/socialism. The stated goals might differ but the outcomes will be the same - more government control of our lives, less freedom and economic hardship for the masses (but riches for the elite).
Quote:
"I think one of the most pernicious aspects of the modern environmental movement is the romanticization of peasant life. And the idea that industrial societies are the destroyers of the world. The environmental movement has evolved into the strongest force there is for preventing development in the developing countries. I think it's legitimate for me to call them anti-human."
- Patrick Moore (founding member of Greenpeace)
