Dr. James Lovelock---"environmentalism has âbecome a religionâ for many"

^^ A great article about global warming, I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend your reading it too. I have long contended that liberalism (of which the theory of global warming is a part), may be more aptly classified as a religion, rather than a political mindset. Liberal adherents therefore, will never be dissuaded from their acts of zealotry and activism. All of which are entirely justifiable in their minds, because they believe they will see history vindicate them for having dragged the rest of humanity with them, albeit kicking and screaming, down their own self deluded primrose path.
We're going about this stuff all wrong. Since rational thought will never prevail against this kind of cultist delusion, all the debate in the world will fall on deaf ears where liberals are concerned. Sometimes those who have the intestinal fortitude to be responsible, must resign themselves to save the passive from among us from terminal stupidity. Although truth will always trump ignorance, it will not trump WILLFUL ignorance. Voters must send the La-La's back home, and elect lucid minded statesman to public office. Doing so will have the added benefit of clearing up the ambiguity with which America is presently viewed by her allies and enemies around the world, along with dissolving the black clouds of economic doom.
More from the cited article above---
"A prominent scientist and former NASA researcher has added his voice to those who challenge the "scientific fact" that manmade carbon emissions are causing global warming.
Dr. Leslie Woodcock is a professor emeritus of chemical thermodynamics at the University of Manchester in England, with a Ph.D. from the University of London, and served as a senior research consultant at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Laboratory in Ohio.
In an interview with Britain's Yorkshire Evening Post, Woodcock declared:
"The theory of 'manmade climate change' is an unsubstantiated hypothesis.
"The theory is that CO2 emitted by burning fossil fuel causes 'global warming.' In fact,
water is a much more powerful greenhouse gas and there is 20 times more of it in our atmosphere [than carbon dioxide].
"Carbon dioxide has been made out to be some kind of toxic gas but the truth is it's the gas of life. We breathe it out, plants breathe it in. The green lobby has created a do-good industry and it becomes a way of life, like a religion. I understand why people defend it when they have spent so long believing in it."
Woodcock is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, a founding editor of the journal Molecular Simulation, a recipient of a Max Planck Society Visiting Fellowship, and a former guest scientist at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology.
He went on to say: "If you talk to real scientists who have no political interest, they will tell you there is nothing in global warming. It's an industry which creates vast amounts of money for some people.
"
The temperature of the earth has been going up and down for millions of years. If there are extremes, it's nothing to do with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it's not permanent and it's not caused by us.
Global warming is nonsense.
"It's become almost an industry, as a consequence of this professional misconduct by government advisers around the world."
But he added: "You can't blame ordinary people with little or no science education for wanting to be seen to be good citizens who care about their grandchildren's future and the environment."

You know, I can accept that we can't blame folks for reacting to what they've been told. And, I realize we can't help it if some folks' thought processes are substandard, such as those who have dreamed up this whole global warming mess. But, to allow them to bring financial ruin to our nation with this and the other ramifications of "fundamental transformation", is something I cannot accept. I would think instead, that this ought to be something we would have no trouble in rejecting our of hand. Somebody once said, "the more things change the more they stay the same." Ancient Egyptians lived in fear of false gods like Ra and Anubis, and we feel superior to them for their ignorance and subjection to superstition. I don't see a bit of difference in the case of our wiliness to fall before the altar of secular humanism and more particularly, the lie of global warming. Like Anubis, global warming is based on man's imagination, not verified science. On the contrary, much of what was once accepted as scientific proof, has been debunked or shown to be contrived data.
