THE UTTER DESPERATION OF GLOBAL WARMISTS
By Alan Caruba
RADICAL ENVIRONMENTALISM & GLOBAL WARMING ALARMISM VERSUS HUMAN FREEDOM, PROGRESS, & PROSPERITY: THE TOTALITARIAN NATURE OF
THE ENVIRONMENTALIST MOVEMENT -- WILLINGNESS OF ENVIRONMENTALISTS & GLOBAL WARMING IDEOLOGUES TO EMPLOY THE FORCE OF LYNCH LAW &
MOB ACTION TO SILENCE THOSE WHO DISSENT FROM GLOBAL WARMING THEORY & ENVIRONMENTALIST PUBLIC POLICY PROPOSALS -- THE DEMAND THAT
GLOBAL WARMING & CLIMATE CHANGE SKEPTICS BE EITHER KILLED OR CONFINED TO CONCENTRATION CAMPS, WHERE THEY WOULD UNDERGO
"RE-EDUCATION" & TREATED WITH MIND-ALTERING DRUGS -- GROWING OPPOSITION & RESISTANCE TO EFFORTS TO IMPOSE ON HUMAN SOCIETY A HIGHLY
AUTHORITANIAN DICTATORSHIP RUN BY ENVIRONMENTALISTS & GLOBAL WARMISTS -- INCREASING DESPERATION & RUTHLESSNESS OF THE ECOLOGY KOOKS,
AS THEY SEE THEIR DREAMS OF TYRANNICAL WORLD DOMINATION FALLING APART
FULL STORY:
In the “glory years” of the global warming hoax, you had Al Gore picking up Oscars and Nobel Prizes (shared with the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change) and government employees like James Hansen of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies were picking up wads of cash as awards, speech fees,
and grants.
The folks who conjured up the computer models featured in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports also did quite well for themselves,
along with all the others who climbed on the gravy train of global warming grants.
And then, in 1998, a cooling cycle set in. It was hard to hide, because the weather satellite data was indisputable, but try to hide it they did. Even then, however,
there was a handful of outspoken meteorologists and climatologists who were trying hard to get out the message that the perfectly natural warming cycle was
over and had been replaced, thanks to — guess what? — a lower output of solar radiation by the SUN.
Still the global warmists persisted, infiltrating school systems to frighten children, brainwashing students in colleges, and coercing the public through
apocalyptic books, through magazine and newspaper articles, and on television and the Internet.
In 2009, the release of a huge cache of emails between the IPCC global warming perpetrators instantly became known as “Climategate,” as the world learned that
it was all a scam, a hoax, a fraud based on deliberately falsified computer models, and force fed to the public.
The desperation of the global warmists was palpable.
In 2006, Grist, an eco-magazine, called for Nurenberg-style trials for skeptics. By 2007, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., had called any doubts about global warming
treason. “This is treason. And we need to start treating them as traitors.” Two years later in 2009, Kennedy called coal companies “criminal enterprises,”
declaring that their CEO’s “should be in jail … for all of eternity.” In 2008, NASA’s Hansen was calling for trials of climate skeptics for “high crimes against
humanity.”
Didn’t like the global warmist’s bogus science? A former member of the Clinton administration, Joe Romm, defended a comment on his Climate Progress
website that warned that a generation of brain-washed youth would see to it that skeptics would “be strangled in their beds.”
Today, another Clinton appointee, Carol Browner, former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator is one of Obama’s “czars” and the unseen specter
whispering in the ear of Lisa Jackson, the current EPA Administrator. She is joined by John Holden, an Obama science advisor, and Secretary of Energy,
Steven Chu.
If threats of jail and murder couldn’t shut up the skeptics, then Professor Kari Marie Norgaard, speaking at a global warmist confab, “Planet Under Pressure,”
put forth the notion that any science-based skepticism — based on actual, not fictional, data — should be “recognized and treated” as some sort of aberrant
behavior.
Doubt global warming? Well, you must be nuts!
Norgaard is Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies at the University of Oregon. As she put it:
“Climate change poses a massive threat to our present social,
economic, and political order. From a sociological perspective,
resistance to change is to be expected. People are individually
and collectively habituated to the ways we act and think. That
habituation must be recognized and simultaneously addressed
at the individual, cultural, and societal level — how we think
the world works and how we think it should work.”
“Should work”? The Earth — the oceans, the clouds, and its entire eco-system — doesn’t give a rat’s patoot about how global warmists and other weather
crazies think it “should work.” All that intellectual claptrap adds up to a totalitarian belief that people who disagree with global warming ideology should be
jailed or killed.
And in true totalitarian fashion reminiscent of the Stalin era, when people simply disappeared from public records and reports, on April 2, Norgaard’s bio for
Whitman College could no longer to be found on the its website. True to the eco-Fascist approach, she had become a liability, a non-person for having
revealed their plans for humanity.
Regular people who actually do something useful with their lives know that intellectuals like Norgaard hold them in utter contempt, but it is those who
profess belief in global warming that should be regarded with grave and serious suspicion.
Those who use global warming, i.e., the assertion that carbon dioxide emissions should be restricted and controlled, are the true enemies of progress, of
freedom, and of humanity.
In the Twentieth Century, intellectuals foisted Communism on the world, thus ensuring that millions of Russians, Chinese, Cambodians, and others would be
killed for their dissent. Intellectuals are always the first to embrace every totalitarian or highly authoritarian movement and dictatorship and to excuse their
methods.
The global warmists are increasingly desperate and ruthless, as their dreams of global domination are falling apart.
In Europe, and here in America, all their schemes to replace the real production of electricity with solar panels and wind turbines are being rejected. Their plans
for herding populations into cities and onto mass transit meet with resistance. Parents are objecting to their eco-curricula in schools. Al Gore has become a
joke.
Consider this: If the radical environmentalists and global warming ideologues were in charge, anyone who voiced dissent from their global warming-climate
change lies would be in concentration camps, undergoing “re-education,” being “treated” with mind-altering drugs -- or would be dead.
