COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

IPCC Report Says "Bend Over, Kiss Your Ass Goodbye."

The BBC is reporting tonight that the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report to be issued tomorrow will say that it is "very likely"; that is, the panel is 90% certain that global warming is caused by man and not by natural cycles.

In advance of the report this week, the world media has been hysterical with reports such as:
Billions of people will suffer water shortages and the number of hungry will grow by hundreds of millions by 2080 as global temperatures rise, scientists warn in a new report.

The report estimates that between 1.1 billion and 3.2 billion people will be suffering from water scarcity problems by 2080 and between 200 million and 600 million more people will be going hungry.

Coastal flooding could affect 7 million homes worldwide.

The Artic will be ice free in late summer.
The significance of this conclusion cannot be underestimated. This report will provide the "hammer" to force world compliance. The reasoning will be that if the world's scientific community can say that man has caused the warming, then man must work to reverse the process. And who will pay? Those most responsible for causing the pollution and can most afford to pay. That means "the world's biggest polluter," the United States will be forced in a variety of world courts, including the court of public opinion, to finance "mitigation projects" around the world. Never mind that those legal venues do not yet apply to the US. They will.

This quote by a UN Official portends dark days ahead for those climate skeptics who dare to challenge the alarmist consensus.
"This report closes the doors to those who were able to detract from the issue, and puts an end to the notion of uncertainty and doubt about man's role in climate change," commented United Nations Environment Programme executive director Achim Steiner.
No longer will debate about the cause of the warming be countenanced. Skeptics will become heretics who will of course, be burned at the stake in an "earth friendly way." The watermelons have won an important victory.

  2. "Global warming" has more to do with a Commie scheme of wealth redistribution than anything to do with science and the environment. And judging by his name and biography, Mr Achim Steiner smells to me as just another Commie/Jihadi plant in the UN.

  3. Mat,

    Perception is all.
    ;-)
    Additionally, there are all those damned math courses in the science departments.

  6. Why? We'd all move to Mexico, instead of the other way around.

  7. Hehe. True.

    Though I think I recently read somewhere, that the Ho Chi Minh trail can work both ways. ;)

  10. "No longer will debate about the cause of the warming be countenanced. Skeptics will become heretics who will of course, be burned at the stake in an "earth friendly way." The watermelons have won an important victory"

    Yes, according to your propaganda, we should still debate whether the Earth is the center of the universe, the only problem being the overwhelming evidence against such a ridiculous idea.

    But again, fascism and extreme right in general has been always good at trying to substitute scientifical evidence by proof of faith.

    You and your friends in the cave may go on hallucinating. I am sure the hangover will be so hard when the facts are at your face that, who knows, you may decide to retire to a silent convent and never open your mouth again. That will be a favour to humanity.
