Addendum to post #35.
NEW IN THIS VERSION: Carbon economics and data fiddling kick in soon after the IPCC is established in 1988.
Hansen barracking for lawless destruction and the end of civilization
***********************************EXCERPT*************************************
Civilization is the problem. Hansen recommends a book that incites violent sabotage, and promotes illegal activities to bring about an end to industrial civilization. Is this kind of book legal in the US?
James Hansen has called for industrial sabotage and defended lawbreakers before, but did he really read all of Keith Farnishs words before he endorsed the book Times Up?
Farnish has put together a frightening compilation. He tried non-violent protest with Greenpeace for five years, but then he changed tactics. He got angry, and recommends you do too:
Constructive Anger, on the other hand, does achieve something useful even if it may not be exactly what was originally intended. For instance, if all the evidence you have to hand suggests that removing a sea wall or a dam will have a net beneficial effect on the natural environment then, however you go about it explosives, technical sabotage or manual destruction the removal would be a constructive action. If this action was fuelled by anger then your use of explosives involved Constructive Anger.
The four key rules of sabotage
1. Carefully weigh up all the pros and cons, and then ask yourself, Is it worth it?
2. Plan ahead, and plan well, accounting for every possible eventuality.
3. Even if you understand the worth of your action, dont get caught.
4. Make the Tools of Disconnection your priority; anything else is a waste of time and effort.
