When it comes to whom to believe about global
warming I'll take Princeton physicist Freeman Dyson...
[Arlo]
Its amazing how quick evil acerdimics and "SOM
scientists" go from being commie, deceitful,
anti-liberty, global cabalists to "supported
authorities on a subject" when they advance
support for conservative ideology...
Scientist #1: Global warming has real implications.
Platt: You're just a commie hack prostituting
yourself for anti-freedom tryannists bent on enslaving mankind.
Scientist #2: Global warming may be overstated.
Platt: Scientsts have now proven global warming to be a hoax.
But to be accurate in summing Dyson's position,
you may want to have included this.
"Environmentalism has replaced socialism as the
leading secular religion. And the ethics of
environmentalism are fundamentally sound.
Scientists and economists can agree with Buddhist
monks and Christian activists that ruthless
destruction of natural habitats is evil and
careful preservation of birds and butterflies is
good. The worldwide community of
environmentalists—most of whom are not
scientists—holds the moral high ground, and is
guiding human societies toward a hopeful future.
Environmentalism, as a religion of hope and
respect for nature, is here to stay. This is a
religion that we can all share, whether or not we
believe that global warming is harmful." (Dyson,
"The Question of Global Warming, NY Review of Books)
So whether or not Dyson correctly advances
"environmentalism" as a "secular religion", he is
clear that such a belief has "fundamentally
sound" ethics, that preservation of species "is
good", and that, and I quote in full "the
worldwide community of environmentalists HOLDS THE MORAL HIGH GROUND".
Enough said.
