It’s time to start ignoring the climate deniers
The Globe and Mail ^ | December 8, 2014 | by Isaac Tamblyn

Posted on 12/08/2014 2:23:42 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

I do not believe that climate change deniers exist. I have heard the statistics and have seen the graphs, but I am not convinced. So I do what the supposed deniers do – I ignore them and move on.

The next time you find yourself in a conversation with friends and colleagues about climate change, I would ask that you do one thing – skip over the discussion about the deniers. By talking about the deniers, the debate focuses on how to fix the problem of denial rather than climate change itself.

Not everyone has to believe in it; what is required is that most of us do something about it.

Dealing with this issue will require money and leadership. Prevention and mitigation will mean spending money. This is unavoidable.

Let’s use the mandate that we have given ourselves and agree to implement what most already believe is a good idea. Canada needs to ignore deniers, hold our leaders to account, and start allocating our considerable resources to address climate change now.

Their last resort is to ignore reality and declare victory.

Pigeons and chessboards come to mind...

The same mentality that pushed plastic-over-paper in the 1970s and are regretting that.

The problem could be unintended consequences. If one of their wild ideas did get approved, they could do irreparable damage. With climate, they might not get a do-over if their idea failed.

No one, with 1 ounce of intelligence denies climate change...it has been going on for millions of years and will continue to do so.

Mankind ,however, has nothing to do with it. NOTHING

Isaac Tamblyn would have fallen right in with the group that was jabbering about the "Jewish Problem" and the "Final Solution" about 80 years ago. Just like clockwork, the NAZI bastards show up again, four generations later; new imaginary problem, but a very similar final solution.

This time the targeted people are US citizens of European extraction. They've seen this show before.

Hey, it worked for Hitler in 1945. He pretended the Russian divisions weren’t pouring into Germany and they dissappeared! /s

And remember Baghdad Bob?

The author’s plan will require great planning and effort putting it into place.

1. There must be a world-wide campaign in all major media formats informing the general public to ignore “climate-deniers”.

2. Fully staffed groups must be formed and funded and the new effort will have to emphasize ignoring climate-deniers. I recommend that 20% of all climate activists efforts, including time, be spent ignoring the client deniers, and letting the world know that climate lovers care so much that this time is spent ignoring the deniers, and they might want to consider joining us.

3. A commission set up dedicated to a study of the efforts made to ignore Sarah Palin. These efforts can be followed, as they are an inspiration to many.

4. Lawsuits, lawsuits, lawsuits, to scare the deniers away so they can be more easily ignored. Choose targets carefully to avoid the Law of Unintended Consequences ... and discovery.

The feeling is mutual: I do not believe that climate change believers exist. I suspect there are only big government liberals who want a government with absolute power and will grasp at any excuse to justify tyranny. There is a whole lot more evidence for that conclusion than there is for the Global Warming claims.

I sent an email to Isaac Tamblyn at The Globe and Mail telling him that Climate Change is B.S.!

Instead of ignoring me, He seems to be a tad bit upset:

Isn’t an “assistant professor” just a former college student that the administration can’t get to go home and live in mom and dad’s basement?

The Natural Occurrence Deniers - NODs are now out numbered by the Common Sense People.... NODs have taken environment concern and turned it into a Religion. They worship the unseen and unknown and believe that it is fully real and should be bowed down to -— for it is by mere faith that the NODs exist ... In their pursuit the NODs disregard that there has been NO Global Warming in 18 years — just a Climate Denier speaking heresy against their NOD GOD... In their blind faith - NODs cannot accept that fluctuation of the Sun over huge expanses of time - coupled with cosmic rays and the resultant effects on clouds are what control the never ending climate change of the world... NOD — the Natural Occurrence Deniers ... bless them for they know not what they do...

Oops one period. I hate when I call someone stupid and I do something stupid.

My Russian ex girlfriend once called one of her Russian friends “Illiteral.”
