Academic raises alarm: The Democratic Party is facing a Catholic apocalypse - “Tea Party-ization” of white Catholics
Democrats have preached the “Green Church of Climate Change” doctrine for the last 2 generations - every aspect of our lives is touched by their teachings.
I ask — Where is the separation of Church and State!?
The Left has actively PROMOTED their Mother Earth religion in our classrooms, on the Hill, from the White House. We’ve been told that their religion is true. It’s instilled in our youth that non-believing holds such dire consequence for their future (the world’s very existence), that “deniers” must no longer have a voice in the matter - that there is no longer a debate. Non believers must be ridiculed and shunned.
I ask, why hasn’t the Green Church” been banned from our classrooms?
Climate has become a state supported religion.
“Climate Change” is a religious agenda, the one of Gaia and/or Wicca. Of mother earth and nature’s supremecy.
“Climate” is the religion of the Left.
Watch how Democrats will fight to the death to defend it.
Please bear in mind that Lysenkoism was analogous to Creationism insofar as it rejected Evolutionary Orthodoxy.
I recall banning "Captain Planet" long ago in my house. I noticed it is back on the television again...a generation later.
The Left requires indoctrination, not understanding. Science requires the latter, not the former, otherwise, it isn't good science.
No repeatable result need fear a repetition of the experiment or a re-analysis of the data.
Bear in mind how it was used by Lysenko and Stalin - you don’t see the similarities with “settled science” and “deniers must be silenced?”
Remember the children's group singing Yes we can, can, can ?...."... Obama's gonna lead 'em, Obama's going to change it and rearrange it - we're going to change the world..."
There's a creepy Facebook page for "Climate Parents" - teaches them how to indoctrinate their children.
True science uses observation - a theory must be falsifiable - science always questions.
If the Left's Green Climate Doctrine is denied, there will be consequences (this IS NOT science - this is ideology).
This IS their religion.
In that regard, Lysenkoism was much more limited. I believe Stalin endorsed some kind of “winter wheat” program on that basis, which of course didn’t work. This had disasterous consequences, but still it did not have the scope “Climate Change” policy.
Certainly I do have many misgivings about the “Climate Change” agenda. Obviously this is nothing like a scientific question as it has been understood in the past, and it is analogous to Lysenkoism in that it affects broad social policy. It’s different in that it isn’t based on a single idiosyncratic view, but a whole community of professional scientists. Of course it’s obvious how dissenters and skeptics are squeezed out, but what if they’re right?
The latest that I see is that the deterioration of the West Antarctic ice sheet is accelerating, and has passed a tipping point, so we’ll see.
Scope? Limited?
I see a strong parallel with the Left’s “Settled Science.”
“....Support from Joseph Stalin gave Lysenko even more momentum and popularity. In 1935, Lysenko compared his opponents in biology to the peasants who still resisted the Soviet government’s collectivization strategy, saying that by opposing his theories the traditional geneticists were setting themselves against Marxism. Stalin was in the audience when this speech was made, and he was the first one to stand and applaud, calling out “Bravo, Comrade Lysenko. Bravo.” This event emboldened Lysenko and gave him and his ally Prezent free rein to slander the geneticists who still spoke out against him. Many of Lysenkoism’s opponents, such as his former mentor Nikolai Ivanovich Vavilov, were imprisoned or even executed because of Lysenko’s and Prezent’s denunciations.”...

My chiropractor was all excited about a wonderful show on HBO about climate change.
I told him to look at the world before the medieval warm period. Arguably hotter than today. Also told him to read Joe Bastardi and Michael Crichton on the subject.
I’m sick of having to guide folks in that direction.
Yes, but like any religion, it has its true believers, its disciples, its hucksters, and its for-profit charlatans, and the charlatans are running the show.
I tell all people who use the term climate change that they are global warming deniers because they have abandoned the use of the words “global warmkng”
It infuriates me when the lefts religious leaders (Gore etc) lump those of us who reject anthropomorphic climate change with those who don’t believe in some form of evolution. It’s Apples and Oranges there marxists!
I loathe the left.
Michael Crichton accurately titled his book “State of Fear” - which is exactly what the Left wants.
Great read...my copy is somewhere up in the attic. Have to try to find it and give it to my easily swayed chiropractor.
