Indeed, the ignorati/gliterati and their butt pustules in the media are spreading this meme as we speak. It is like a new form of porn for them, each claim more obscene than the last, the next claim feeding on the insanity of the one it followed.
I honestly await envirofascist claims that earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and meteors are exacerbated by gorebull whoring - pretty much everything else apparently already is, from cold winters, warm summers, diseases, forest fires, tsunamis, hurricanes, too much rain, not enough rain, record snow, green Christmas, crime, poverty, terrorism, hunger, deforestation, species extinction, 3 polar bears drowning, overfishing, Wal*Mart, halitosis, bad knees, bad back, Gore losing in 2000, terrorists wearing panties on head, and Darfur.
It is precisely analogous to the way in which primitive groups blamed themselves for environmental calamity; the people have angered the various gods, with the only chance of redemption being some form of sacrifice, or some act(s) of contrition or self-imposed suffering. The teleological breech left void by the rejection of Judeo-Christian morals will again be filled, and the supplanting substance for secular leftists appears to be deep ecology.
It’s a cargo cult.
