“My teacher (who does not agree with this project because of the trickery) told me that your group will accept almost anything regardless of the scientific process, this was my experiment to see if he is correct.”
Greens get pranked with their own blind zealotry by some poor student in Madagascar. This destitute looking man with an anti golden rice poster is one of the pranks:
And the greens happily redistributed this image and text and many others the student created…until of course it was revealed the whole things was an experiment to see if the greens simply act as mindless parrots in social media, without once stopping to question if the outrageous claims made in the series of photos was real or not.
It is the same sort of inhumane blindness that created the horrid 10:10 video, where children were exploded in blood baths for not going along with the climate action plans.

The truth is becoming more and more obvious. The media is looking increasingly bad. At some point they will shape up, at least a little, if only because of shame and embarrassment.
Not quite as good as the Alan Sokal hoax, but entertaining nonetheless
I thought that lady’s name would never end.
Reminded me of Roseanne Roseannadana. How do you when to stop?
This is just one more data point testifying to the fact that catastrophic anthropogenic global warming was never about science or real world facts. In fact, it is another data point supporting the hypothesis that the “greens” hate humanity itself and want to see the population greatly reduced. They will do anything to further their goals. I first realized this during the DDT scare mongering.

Doubtful: the leftist media are shameless.
Clearly his original posts were factual, and then Monsato kidnapped his baby sister and said that if he did not retract his statements they would force feed her GMO till she mutated into a horrible monster.
Do I really need to add the sarc tag?
Bet a less extreme version of this concept is already trending on any activist page that picked up this story.
Young master Navid Rakotofala is a hero. What he probably hasn’t yet realized, is that he has only scratched the surface of the true Green agenda and that he and his friends are the primary targets of the Green (not so well) hidden agenda to reduce the world’s human population.
Medieval naturalists had a great appreciation of hoaxes, and they spent a lot of time collecting and studying them. However, they didn’t call them hoaxes. Instead, they called them Lusus Naturae, or Jokes of Nature.
One famous example was the Scythian Lamb, or Vegetable Lamb. This bizarre creature, which medieval naturalists were sure existed, although they couldn’t locate a specimen, was part plant and part animal.
The category of Lusus Naturae was not simply a way for medieval naturalists to avoid classifying puzzling creatures. It actually symbolized a belief that Nature was an active, sentient force that enjoyed playing jokes on man, that enjoyed confounding his expectations and subverting his classification schemes. In other words, medieval naturalists believed that Nature was the greatest hoaxer of all.
Who now can say that they were wrong ?
People who will believe the IRS cock-and-bull story will believe anything.
The 2 reactions our fellow (but unthinking and/or uneducated) humans usually have when confronted by topics they don’t understand but somehow get convinced are important, seem to be:
1) Pseudo intellectual – people actually convince themselves they understand the “essence” of the issue, and consider their uninformed/uneducated opinion to be as valid as that of any “expert” in the subject.
2) Witch doctor – whomever scares them the most wins, especially if it’s a trivial but apocalyptic explanation.
Both of these reactions involve over-developed self esteem and loss of faith in “experts”. Examples like this Madagascar story would be funny if they weren’t so poignant.
Not as funny as the joke of the dihydrogen monoxide, but even more illustrative than that one.
Hat tip and thanks to Bishop and you for bringing this to our attention! I am sad that the professor has to endure the ignorance of the greens. But he seems to be very well capable of handling it. And their pathetic threats are both laughable – and a demonstration of the green’s bigotry.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I agree with the point about Greens disliking much of humanity; however, just as with any garden variety tyrant, the end goal is power to unilaterally control the “unwashed” mob (not reduce them). Damn few tyrants ever wanted less power (i.e. fewer subjects).
Meanwhile, no doubt people have already heard of the latest exciting development at CERN, doubling the energy level in their atom-smasher. The fly in the ointment though is that the latest research from climate scientists shows that higgs boson particles are becoming endangered by man’s evil carbon particles, which have been dubbed “Satan Particles”. The two are now battling it out, but we can all help by immediately living in mud huts, and eating leaves and twigs.
Planetary saviours like Al Gore of course are exempted.
Oh sure, you people can laugh this off as a hoax. But what about the species lost to global warming? Since the current phase of warming started in 1979, the East Asian Purple Spotted Leaping Tree Toad does not exist!
Go on, check for yourself. Even Google can’t find them!

Nope. Ask a gunny. You might notice that facts and alleged shame haven’t stopped the reporting of “assault rifles”, and we’ve been fighting that set of lies for decades already. It’s the same bunch of lamestream muddia type who are lying about firearms who “report” this climate cr@p.
Reminds me of the Dihydrogen Oxide prank. The left are so easy to dupe.
While I support the premise, I believe further experimentation will reveal the same pattern of behavior in many groups. People tend seek out information which support their beliefs while filtering out information that contradicts those beliefs. Getting people to objectively evaluate new information is darn near impossible.
Add to that the difficulty in ascertaining the veracity of information found anywhere on the internet, The traditional media is no longer trusted. Science is not trusted. The government is not well trusted.

Hey Chip,
While the Greens are definitely after control of everyone else, they make no secret of their much deeper and darker agenda. Have a look for yourself. I’ll warn you that some of the quotes in the following list are incorrect, having been taken out of context (such as the quote attributed to Daniel Botkin,) but you’ll get the general idea of what the Green elites have in mind for you:
http://www.c3headlines.com/global-warming-quotes-climate-change-quotes.html
Your statement about tyrants not reducing their own populations is demonstrably untrue.
I see the NCDC has once again laid claim to warmest month ever in their latest temperature anomaly update, quite sad, given their complete lack of data coverage…
I would love to delve into the mind of these Mother Jones-reading, anti-profit, anti-success, anti-innovation, anti-logic, useful idiots. They must really believe that Monsanto is headquartered from inside a remote volcano where some Dr. Evil character plots to somehow make big profits from killing off their customers and destroying nature through GMOs.
Since Monsanto only wants to save those children from vitamin-A deficiency caused blindness with no further agenda, surely when they realised people were too prejudiced to eat or allow other people eat golden rice, they instead send them shiploads of carrot seeds. You know, the root vedgetable that grows pretty much everywhere with enormous amount of the same carotein as the golden rice.
What? Actually they didn’t? Are you saying they just stood on their hands and complained about not being able to solve the problem how *they* wanted to solve it?
Truly the mark of a true humanitarian with absolutely no hidden agenda.
Sorry but I don’t think this is funny and I don’t think that perpetuating a hoax to “catch” blind followers is useful to the effort of bringing serious supported by facts debate to the table. I much prefer the droning voice of folks like Lindzen and Spencer on the world’s stage.
When you go to battle, it’s best not to bring pretend weapons with you.
Whenever I see someone, especially a child, from a culture where English is not the primary language, holding up a sign in English, my BS meter pegs.
