"There are many genuine threats facing humanity. None of them require authoritarianism or the infringement of civil liberties.

A recent study published in American Political Science Review, a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal published by Cambridge University, begins with a teasing question: “Is authoritarian power ever legitimate?”

For many, the answer is clearly no, concedes the study’s author—Ross Mittiga, an assistant professor of political theory at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. But Mittiga, in the abstract to the study, suggests otherwise: ..."

Those who believe as Mittiga need to prove their convictions and step to the front of the line.

Until you can control the Sun, you cannot “fight climate change”.

[Secret Agent Man]

TOTALITARIAN.

They are weasel-wording to make it seem nicer.

[dfwgator]

It’s F***ing Fascism they are proposing.

[DesertRhino]

Well he might be surprised at the things that might be required to fight authoritarianism.

[Troublemaker]

Watch out, badass Ross is on the loose.

How the powers that be including the media and corporations F.O. ad clean up the mess THEY made.

Proposing? They’ve been implementing it for some time.

The Sun is 99.86% of the mass in our solar system.
It accounts for all of our energy / weather / climate.

Man is a TINY part of the remaining 0.14%.
You can’t beat that Math!

I’ll fight tyranny before I’ll fight “climate change”.

40 years ago the authoritarian scumbags of today were law students and poli sci majors who drove battered rusted out Volvos and VW Beetles held together with QUESTION AUTHORITY bumper stickers.

Just the other day there was a little snow and ice in the western panhandle of FL. And every time that happens we hear cries of SEE! SEE! Climate Change! The sky is falling! If anything a winter WITHOUT a little ice and snow up there is unusual. The state’s historical website has quite a few photographs going back to the late 1800’s of snowfall in Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Pensacola,even Tampa. Surely there must be accounts of snow events in the Seminole folklore going back before the Spaniards first stepped foot in FL

LOL. Authoritarianism is the GOAL of climate change theory.

[stinkerpot65]

The purpose to begin with.
