"Not so hot air" (more on "global warming")
A good smackdown of the fundamentalist "global warming" devotees by Cal Thomas. Funny thing is, the title of his column in my local paper is "Shiny, happy climatologists love fantasy," lol!In every child's life there comes a time when childhood fantasies are shattered and he or she is forced to accept reality - there is no Santa Claus or tooth fairy; parents don't always mean it when they promise to stay married until parted by death. Grown-up scientists, theologians, historians, archaeologists and others who pursue facts and objective truths are rooted in reality and constantly adjusting their conclusions, theories and hypotheses when new information comes to light. Those who ignore facts and cling to outdated information, or outright falsehoods, can quickly embrace fanaticism. Good description of both the enviro fanatics and the jihadis (that "enemies, foreign and domestic" thingy). So it is with "global warming," the secular religion of our day that even has a good number of adherents among people of faith. Having decided to focus less on the eternal and whether anyone dwells there, global warming fundamentalists are pushing planet worship on us in a manner that would make a jihadist proud. See? He got the comparison I did, too! There are at least two characteristics all fundamentalists share. One is the exclusion and sometimes suppression of any and all information that challenges or contradicts the belief one wishes to impose on all. The other is the use of the state in pursuit of their objectives, overriding the majority's will. Bingo! Outta the park! More at linky. Posted by: BA 2007-08-16 |
