We are shifting away from science and into the realm of religious fanaticism, where the followers of the creed, brimming with self-righteous fury, believe that they are in possession of a higher truth.
Like a religion, environmentalism is suffused with hatred for the material world and again, like religion, it requires devotion rather than intellectual rigour from its adherents.
It is intolerant of dissent; those who question the message of doom are regarded as heretics, or 'climate change deniers', to use green parlance.
And, just as in many religions, the route to personal salvation lies in the performance of superstitious rituals, such as changing a lightbulb or arranging for a tree to be planted after every plane journey.
Play actors seem to lose touch with reality rapidly.
Does she live in a tiny house that is only solar-powered, bicycling everywhere, eschewing airplanes, and having a low impact on the environment, or does she live the life of a privileged elite?
If she can't say yes to all this questions, then she can keep her hypocrisy to herself.
I have been cutting out and saving the weather report from the Houston Chronicle for MONTHS! Most of the high temps were in the 1890s. And 1890 seems to be as far back as the recorded Houston temps go. So I have no idea how you would prove it is warmer now than a thousand years ago in Houston! LOL The record lows have been in 1890 to 2014. And there is just NO pattern of warming or change. Anything from 50F to 103F is “normal” or withing the range of possible temps here for this time of year. And we didn’t break any records for high temps in Houston all summer. I am not seeing any PATTERNS of Climate Change when actually researching this. I want to put all of this data onto a chart.
Kiddo, you read English at Cambridge. Tell me what you know about science.
