Kill The Climate Deniers!

Just when I think I've heard it all, a new thing pops up.  This week the story leaked out that the Obama administration all the way to the Attorney General has been discussing how to prosecute those who are skeptical of climate change.  Pretty interesting...and scary.  Guess they've decided that the 1st Amendment doesn't apply.  You can read about it here.  And here's the key point.

"...the cabal of activists, scientists, academics, shyster politicians and hacks promoting the global warming agenda are quite astonishingly low grade. They’re low grade morally – which you’d expect – but they’re also so low-grade in terms of competence, credibility and intellect that it’s quite amazing how they manage to hold down their jobs. (Probably because they mostly work in the public sector, would be my guess). 

What’s really going to do for the Climate Alarmists in the end, I think, though, is not so much their stupidity or their venality but their arrogance and their complacency. They’re so spoilt by being part of a protected, padded, taxpayer-funded Establishment, so used to dismissing their opponents with appeals to authority, ad hominems and bully boy tactics that they’ve completely lost sight of how weak their position is."

I'm not a denier nor do I embrace the current theology of climate change.  Is there something going on that has been caused by man?  Probably.  Will it impact us in the short term (150 years)?  Probably not.  But should we be taking reasonable precautions and steps to minimize man's impact on the environment?  Definitely.  But overwhelmingly I've seen a lot of scams and shysters in this business.  And at the end of the day I keep coming back to something pretty basic...follow the money!
