Global warming McCarthyism or the Church of Climatology?
Here is Glenn Beck exposing the infantile science of climatology. This is interesting commentary underscoring the “tolerance” exhibited from climate change enthusiasts when their views are questioned. The response can be quite shrill.
I have seen similar things happen in the blogosphere. The other night I was hanging out at a site which happens to be a haven for global warming sympathizers. There was a post there which went to great lengths to prove the “fact” of global warming (it’s a fact I don’t disagree with by the way; I just think the evidence is inconclusive). When someone commented who didn’t agree with the writer’s position on warming, he (the commenter) was told any further dissent would be unceremoniously deleted. When I questioned this “open” approach to honest dissent, I was told that dissenting views against global warming theories rank right up there with belief in Sasquatch, the Yeti, the Tooth Fairy, & the Easter Bunny. Absurd ideas like that need not be entertained.
Personally, I like entertaining Sasquatch and the Easter Bunny; they’re a heck of a lot more fun, tons more ecofriendly, eminently more interesting, and certainly more tolerant than the Warming Nazi Cult.
“Warming Nazi Cult” — hehehehe. Yeah. Definitely not the fun bunch you find around the holidays.
Well, all I can say, Lance, is it’s not a tolerant world…unless you’re in agreement with those in the power position.
My friend, Ted West, calls it GoreCarthyism, an apt label, I think.
