I was going to ping you to this, but it looks like you already found it. ;-)
Decades ago, of course, Newsweek reported that Arctic ice was growing so quickly due to man-made “global cooling” that “scientists” were proposing to melt the polar ice cap using black soot. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed. More recently, “climate” guru Al Gore had been regularly predicting that the entire polar ice cap would be gone by now. Instead, it is now far more extensive than when he made his now-discredited predictions.
An article by James Delingpole for The Telegraph reveals that the ideology of John Holdren, President Obama’s “science czar,” is even more extreme than many Americans may have realized before now.
...Junk science requires more junk science to perpetuate itself. That the folly of the eugenicists would be joined to that of the global warming hysteria is little surprise; a convenient crisis is always helpful when you are looking for a reason to “systematically attempt to prune” the human race, and it does not really matter very much whether the looming disaster of the 1970s — a manmade Ice Age — is suddenly exchanged for another convenient prop. Many of the adherents of the environmentalist ideology have regularly demonized anyone who even attempts to question the new religion of “global climate disruption”/global warming/manmade climate change; the “Climategate” revelations of several years ago exposed the public to the facts behind the “science” of global warming, and the way in which its critics were allegedly marginalized. As the ideologists continue losing their grasp on public opinion, it will be interesting to see how the model will change, once again, in service of the “challenge” of man’s future.
