I’ve written numerous L2E’s (letters to editor) regarding AGW that have been published, and the backlash from the warm-quacks is astounding. True believers are they. And, yes, this is a religion. Faith is a necessity!

I have a brother who is a scientist and another brother who is a fairly well-known journalist. The scientist is a true skeptic who understands the technical side of this issue quite well. He doesn’t buy in to the CO_2 alarmism. The proof is totally missing.

The journalist, on the other hand, sees himself as the most knowledgable and wise person on the face of the planet who basically thinks that if he decides to believe in something, by-God, it must be true. He is the epitome of Algore. An arrogant fool, methinks. But an effecive snakeoil salesman, nonetheless.

I place massive amounts of accountability for this mess of a sham directly on the media. It makes brother-journalist’s head spin and steam to rise off his scalp when I go there. (Call an exorcist quick!)

I am very frustrated that people can be so dense and lemming-like. When you clearly see a hoax being perpetrated on folks that will certainly harm everyone and no matter what you say or do to save the folks (and yourself), you get either a blank stare or people chasing you with pitchforks. It is quite deflating.

Yeah, my mood is dark! Merry Christmas!

I am writing in an attempt to cheer you.

I have beloved brothers very similar to yours. It hurts. (They read alot of science fiction, which I researched and found promotes Marxist thinking in its Utopian themes. I read history.)

I spend my free time blogging at Washington Post, NYT, BBC, instead of preaching to the choir. They pretty much come after me with pitchforks. The worst one was a Washington Post Op Ed written by Sarah Palin last week. The replies were full of hate and envy and bitterness. Over 4,000 comments spewing hatred.

BUT on the other hand, I’ve been on some marvelous boards; places where there are plenty of thinkers. It makes me feel more hopeful than I was about the might of American will.

These dark days without sufficient electriciy will not happen. Consider the gambling casinos. Can you picture those folks being turned away? How about the sports fans and their television. Sometimes it helps to just get real.

And finally, where my comfort really lies:

” Believe on Me. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light. As far as the East is from the West, so far will I put your sins from Me.”

Much love to all my fellow Americans.

Go to the comments here. Sort by Most recommended. Very heartening to see the Brits so angry, since British press and academia are solidly warmist.
