How I Learned to Stop Considering Evidence and Love the Warming Agenda
American Spectator ^ | 7.6.11 | Chris Horner

Posted on 07/06/2011 10:45:46 PM PDT by neverdem

Marc Morano of ClimateDepot notifies me that alarmists are discussing his and my Heartland Institute Climate Conference, or last week's ICCC 6, talks here.

Taking a look, it's pretty typical. Per Discovery Magazine's longtime promoter of the warmist creed, Chirs Mooney:

[T]he panelists-and especially Christopher Horner-were quite affirmative that the real reason that we, the "left," want to restrict greenhouse gas emissions is that we want to hobble economies, redistribute wealth, and restrict individual freedoms.

"You can believe this is about the climate, and many people do," said Horner. "But it's not a reasonable belief." Horner went on to argue that "it's probably about what they've claimed they really want." For many "luminaries" of the environment movement, Horner continued, "economic growth is not the cure, it's the disease."

All true, if truer with context studiously omitted. The latter was a well-known quote from green movement godfather Maurice Strong. Which, as you read, went unnoted. It really was my idea that this, not some climate healing, is their idea, you know.

--snip--

Ergo, you can believe it's about the climate. If you need that. It provides a comfy blanket of affirmation to many, shivering with their worldview so widely discredited. It just isn't a reasonable belief. For the reasons stated.

And I of course wrote a book detailing it. In their own words. And one must admit, they do a terrific job of 'propagandizing' for us. And all of which Mooney wisely if typically chooses not to address: it's their words that make this inescapable. As well as the 'consensus' of no impact.

This is done in the name of what, again?

The temperature

Will the temperature be any different after your plan?

No

So, what's it about?

The temperature.

The poorest written starting piece I’ve read. I must be tired from the TRIAL. I could barely follow who was whom, who said what, and the point was no where in my lifetime, and then I arrived at “Read More”. No thanks. Somebody break it down for me. % :D

These schemes are just documented redistribution utopianism, that won't do anything to reduce temperature.

I suspect if you read the article rather than this disjointed excerpt it would make more sense.

Because you found out you'll be getting a cut of the carbon credit scam? Is that you, Al?
