Just because people are afraid of it doesn’t make it a disease.
Just because people offer a cure/treatment doesn’t make it science.
Or helpful for that matter.

Psychiatry is just another delivery system for drug companies.

Here in Canada, we have David Suzuki (a geneticist turned eco tub-thumper) spreading the gospel of doom.

No wonder people are becoming neurotic.

I can deal with a Fred Kinnan. Even with a Jim Taggart (but less so). But the Ivy Starnes and Ma Chalmers of this world are a whole different bag of beans.

Not stupid people are as equally able to be stupid as the rest of us. OTOH, they are probably less complaisant at this moment than Gore.

But they Believe, and that is the nut of the problem. If their motive were merely to rule in order to loot us, they have a vested interest in keeping the host alive (sort of). But True Believers unnerve me. These are the sort of dudes that, as Torquemada (allegedly) said of the “town of 10,000″, half heretics, half faithful, “Kill them all. God will know his own.”

He does. He punctiliously protects himself from contrary points of view. In the history biz we call that a “need not to know” basis. This also protects him from legal action. It’s amazing what a man can manage not to know if he doesn’t want to know it.

in the hoax he is perpetrating, he would be a traitor to the human race by his profligate waste of resources and excessive carbon dioxide emissions, would he not?

Not by his lights. He “purchases offsets”. (As the indulgence boyz used to say, “further sins require further expense.”)

If Al Gore actually believed in the hoax he is perpetrating, he would be a traitor to the human race by his profligate waste of resources and excessive carbon dioxide emissions, would he not?

And neither the UN/IPCC, nor James Hansen, not Michael Mann, nor Gavin Schmidt, nor the Nobel Committee, ever say one word criticizing Gore’s excessive “carbon” emissions. Not one word! Gore’s huge emissions appear to be perfectly acceptable to all of them.

These are not stupid people. Therefore, it logically follows that they are all in on the AGW con job/conspiracy with the obvious goal of drastically raising taxes on the citizens of the developed world by using global warming scare tactics.

”The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”

I don’t think it’s a scam. I think they actually believe those things they believe. (The horror!)

Unfortunately, this doesn’t make it less dangerous; it makes it more dangerous. A con man knows from the getgo what’s the game. It’s ever so much easier to drive off a scam artist than a true believer.

And re Paul’s comment, as stated I got the figures from Dr. Fred Singer’s blog. Interesting Jaworowski link though, I had not seen it before. Thanx for posting it.

(Let me alter my fears of running out from non-worry to negative worry.)

Just a caution, It may be a little slow to open…
