This is all most amusing.
Not only do progressives have weak minds, they are also weak d*cks.
What a bunch of maroons...perfect writers for the Guardian.

Apparently you have to be a member of a very special interest group to get away with lying. Muslims can lie to advance Islam & AGW alarmists can lie to advance their cause. What a world!

...because it gets in the way of public consensus and action Yes, scientific debate has always gotten in the way of consensus. Typical fascists.

Lying to "save the environment" is nothing new. I cannot remember the prominent Democrat who expressed that years ago.
Just another "the end justifies the means" thing so popular among the 1960s Marxist campus spoiled brats and their ideological issue -- arguably now "the Establishment."

Last I heard, Rachel Carson's lie about DDT for the greater good, has killed about a hundred million third world children.
The Marxist murders have been breaking the Tenth Commandment ever since Karl Marx started jotting notes on a cocktail napkin in Paris.

That's why we have science, real science, to weed out crap like that.
Since it will cost trillions of dollars to "fix" global warming (excuse me "climate change"), not to mention affecting the living standard of every human being and take a hundred years, would it not be prudent to ask if it's necessary, meaningful and cost effective before we embark on such a program?
Instead we had panic mode, we must do something NOW before it's too late no matter what the cost.
Grifting wealthy nations of their money was the real goal, the panic was close the scam before the marks figured it out.
Commies, with their STELLAR environmental record in the East Bloc, China and elsewhere, were all to happy to push this along, if it would speed up the collapse of the west.
Otherwise, they don't give a damn about Mother Earth.

When you are “saving the planet,”
anything can be justified. Including simply murdering all doubters. A few thousands dead, or seven billion: Take your pick!
Greenism is the most dangerous ideology since Nazism and communism. In many ways, it is just a mixture of the two, anyway.

Ah, moral relativism. Ain't it grand.
Hell, why stop at lying and deception? Why not just include mass murder if it helps the liberal cause? After all, 'the ends justifies the means' and all that other self-serving Marxist crap...

Yes I constantly tell people that Rachel Carson is the greatest mass murderer of all time!
My daughter went to a middle school named for Rachel Carson when she was of that age. I used to go to parent-teacher things an the little middle school teachers would say, ‘daughter-name tells us you have a PhD and do R&D’, I would let them assume for awhile that I shared their worshipful view of Rachel Carson’. After I felt I had them I steered the conversation back to the environment and Rachel Carson and would proceed to give them ‘chapter and verse’ as to what a scientific fraud she was! Additionally global warming nonsense was taking off then I also demolished that. prior to that they probably never had anyone with a ‘science background’ actually criticize the environmental memes of the day! It was good for them! I really didn't care if I came off as a jerk! I found the personality cult of Rachel Carson and unthinking worship of all things environmental at that school very offensive. Something had to be said! And it didn't hurt my daughter any, she is now working on her PhD in chemistry. In fact it may have laid the groundwork where she is very skeptical (as she is now!)of all things that are part of the 'popular wisdom'! So now if you present "facts" to her, you had better have some "unbiased" references!
