If someone believes in global warming, then you can be sure he is a globalist who loathes Western civilization.
You disagree ? Not much of a stretch, imho.
desertification is a real world problem.
“The issue of global warming continues to be a reliable and simple litmus test.”
All you need to know as to whether to write that person off as a rational human being.
Now wait a minute!
If someone believes in global warming, then you can be sure he is a globalist who loathes Western civilization.
Let's examine that outside the generalization. There are two types of "Man Made Global Warming Religiousose". There is the activist and belligerent, "humans are a disease" worshiper. Then there is the passive, "Consensus Ignoramus" believer. Both have something in common that can be attributable to the those "who loathes Western Civilization".
Loathing Western Civilization can be active and passive. It can be intentional or subconscious. If we examine the liberal ideological pathology and logic, cannot one whom is apathetic to LGBT causes not be considered a "hater"? There is no room, or expectation, that someone is neutral or "in the middle" from a liberal perspective. You are either with them or against them, part of the problem or part of the solution.
I contend that the author can generalize in this fashion because the apathetic "Consensus Believer" of the religion will generally also align with a liberal set of values that will also be supporters of such things as; Open boarders, Free Government Health Care, United Nations, One Government Rule, Redistribution of Wealth, etc.
Now then, heretofore, when generalizing a political position, it stands to reason, that anyone so apathetic as to believe that humans can change the temperature of this planet by simply rejecting the use of all technology, starting with the use of fire for energy, can be assumed to indeed "loathe Western Civilization", even if passively so.
There are people without an ounce of introspection in their minds who believe with all the fervor of religious devotion in the worship of expertise. If an expert says it, then it must be so. The warmists aren’t necessarily haters of Western civilization, although that is where it inevitably tends.
I disagree they are mildly psychotic. Delusional.
I never put it together like that but it's true of everyone I know who believes in global warming... they're all 'citizens of the world' ....
