There was recently a Virginia Book conference covered on CSPAN. One of the sessions covered three "fiction" books on global warming.

Of course the authors claimed they were non-fiction. :-)

What was most interesting was to watch the reaction of this hippy-dippy character in the audience. You know the type--long gray hair, bushy gray beard, and a vacant expression caused by too much weed.

This guy loved the stuff--as if the pleasure centers of his brain were getting direct stimulus.

Then it came time for him to ask a question--and out popped the usual Marxist attacks on greedy capitalism.

Global warming is classic "leftist science".

btw it is taught to most American school-children as the absolute truth by their brainwashed "teachers"--just one more reason to keep our kids away from the public schools.

I suppose that is what gets to me the most about the whole debate, if that is what it can be called. It has such a degree of political importance to the left because it fits nicely with their desire to redistribute wealth and to tear down capitalism and economic freedom in favor of Marxist goals. I believe that the worst thing that could possibly happen to the human race is the acceptance of an ideology that would produce a rigid static conservation model of society.

The inability to accept the fact that mankind is just as much a natural and essential part of the goings-on on this planet is in my opinion a clear sign of psychosis on the part of these activist scientists and the left. They claim to be realists and many are avowed atheists but based on their rhetoric one can hardly distinguish them from other classes of true believers; the only real difference is they practice a rather extreme nature religion where man and the things man do are defined as "evil".

You are right about public schools. That is one reason why I home school. I also encourage my children to ask questions and use reason and logic to arrive at conclusions. What the public schools seem to encourage is empty-headed acceptance of environmentalist propaganda. Personally I think NEA members should be banned from working in public schools until they drop all political affiliations with the left or right.
