Climategate: George Monbiot despairs of the AGW cause – 'There goes my life's work'
Telegraph UK ^ | March 9th, 2010 | Gerald Warner

Posted on 03/10/2010 6:31:07 AM PST by opentalk

Sad news: George Monbiot, the high priest of the AGW cult, is feeling frustrated and depressed. He is oppressed by the realisation that, as the politicians phrase it, he is not getting his message across. And this blog, at least in a small way, bears some part of the responsibility. From his pontifical throne in the Vatican of global warming – The Guardian – he has issued an anathema. Quoting from a recent anti-AGW scam posting by me, he observes: “The attack on climate scientists is now widening to an all-out war on science.”

Don’t get carried away, George. It is only an all-out war on bogus science, such as the global warming superstition you champion. The good guys can carry on inventing antibiotics and curing diseases with our whole-hearted support. It is the con men who have taken Al Gore’s shilling that we distrust and despise. Monbiot even has some insight into this. Of the perception of scientists as sinister schemers he concedes: “Sometimes this isn’t far from the truth.”

He cites those scientists who have weaponised anthrax, or isolated terminator genes for biotech companies to prevent farmers from saving seed, or written misleading endorsements of drugs for pharmaceutical companies. He even denounces the practices of scientific journals “whose monopolistic practices make the supermarkets look like angels”. I wonder if he has had a word with Phil Jones about that.

Despite these flashes of insight, George of course remains committed to the warmist creed.

With the fraud of Man Made Global Climate Disaster exposed, these “concerned scientists” should be RELIEVED that the Earth is NOT doomed.

It wasn’t about the science or concern for the future. It was about a political agenda and a worldview that was decidedly antiWest and antiIndustrial Age.

It must be a kind of mental sickness to believe your own lies.

I thought George Moonbat was the host of Coast to Coast.

I hear him talk of 2012 and impending doom. I hear him talk of conspiracies to hide the moon cities. I never hear him talk of the conspiracy to sell the world on a myth of man-made global warming.

Crazy con. Kerry and Graham are still pushing here.

“The attack on climate scientists is now widening to an all-out war on science.”

If this jerkwad was at all concerned about the health of modern science, he would’ve been all over the clowns at CRU and NASA who refused to share their data, and who obfuscated its treatment.

A basic tenet of science is reproducibility, and reproducibility is impossible when fundamental data is hidden.

And hiding data in and of itself should’ve made this moron suspicious years ago - unless of course he was more concerned with an agenda than he was concerned about the state of modern science.

Monbeit observes: “The attack on climate scientists is now widening to an all-out war on science.”

Monbeit misspelled to get some science back into the debate.

Hope that helps heaps.

“Losing my religion....”

One of the most disturbing issues to this is pushing the agenda on school age children.

No, just a war against his green-commie cult's coup attempt against real science (non-religion & non-politcal based science).
