CNN mocks Greenpeace's "Save Santa's Home" video

As explained in a 1994 essay written by Patrick Moore, a co-founder of Greenpeace, excerpted at

“Surprisingly enough the second event that caused the environmental movement to veer to the left was the fall of the Berlin Wall. Suddenly the international peace movement had a lot less to do. Pro-Soviet groups in the West were discredited. Many of their members moved into the environmental movement bringing with them their eco-Marxism and pro-Sandinista sentiments.”
This is why global warming mania has become the New Religion – it appeared just in time to replace the discredited Old Religion of Global Socialism, and adherents of the Old Religion actually expropriated the Environmental Movement, now rudely but accurately referred to as the Watermelon Movement.
For more than a decade, honorable climate scientists have been arguing that the “the science is NOT settled” and have patiently pointed out the fatal flaws in global warming alarmism. They were largely swept aside, ignored and vilified. Several honorable academics (four that I know of) have lost their academic posts. Several have received death threats. Some were actual victims of violence.
We have experienced these brown-shirt tactics in the past and they work, since they effectively intimidate the less honorable and enlist the less intelligent.
We knew decades ago that global warming alarmism was wrong. We confidently stated in 2002:

On global warming:
“Climate science does not support the theory of catastrophic human-made global warming – the alleged warming crisis does not exist.”
On green energy:
“The ultimate agenda of pro-Kyoto advocates is to eliminate fossil fuels, but this would result in a catastrophic shortfall in global energy supply – the wasteful, inefficient energy solutions proposed by Kyoto advocates simply cannot replace fossil fuels.”
I suggest that our two above statements are now demonstrably true, within reasonable probabilities.
I also wrote in an article in the Calgary Herald published on September 1, 2002, based on a phone conversation with Paleoclimatologist Dr. Tim Patterson:
On global cooling:
“If (as I believe) solar activity is the main driver of surface temperature rather than CO2, we should begin the next cooling period by 2020 to 2030.”
I expect that global cooling will be a reality by 2020, and may have already started. The Watermelons have already begun their retreat from global warming hysteria, and have moved on to “climate change” alarmism and “sustainability”, their new mantras to achieve greater political power.
In fact, these disreputable people have discredited true environmentalism with their false alarm. There remain real environmental issues that need to be addressed. Catastrophic humanmade global warming is NOT one of them.
Repeating from 2002:
“Climate science does not support the theory of catastrophic human-made global warming – the alleged warming crisis does not exist.”
