Yup, breathtaking that the very people who's wrong-headed ideas are responsible for one of our problems, want to use that problem to further their own agenda on another nutty one that's been dreamed up out of thin air!

 

They have the temerity to call people who don't fall for all this deniers. But I suppose all religions have used that term to label people who need actual physical proof before they are prepared to change their established lifestyles.  So, why should The Church of Anthropomorphic Climate Change be any different?

 

Personally I'm still expecting the terminal skin cancer that we were all going to get from the hole in the ozone layer.  It's still there apparently, and reportedly even larger than when we all had five years left to live.  Better still, bring back the good old days when we could nod to the established fact that it was all that b* nuclear testing that was disrupting the climate. 

 

You could actually make an excellent living by predicting the next doom and disaster fad: get ahead of the market on the book, then the film of the book, then the world lecture tour, and you are set up for life!  You only need to come up with something that's nebulous and can never be scientifically dis-proven, but woolly thinkers (like politicos) can be persuaded is a real threat to civilisation. There must be oodles of non-jobs in it, and lots of international travel and expense accounts.  Principally there must be no clear solution, and the only things that could possibly be done should be so expensive that they exceed the entire world's GNP several times over.  To get third world support you need to be able to point the finger of blame at those nations who've made the world a lot better place for everyone, and - of course - promise them lots of money you haven't got. No one genuinely expects that this mega-money will ever materialise, so that's OK. It really helps if in doing these things civilisation would be wound back a few hundred years (and likely the average human lifespan back to 25 years in process) - that one gets the Green vote every time!
