Climate Science Comes Up Short
Quadrant Online ^ | 7/28/2017 | Tony Thomas

Posted on 07/30/2017 7:34:41 AM PDT by grimalkin

People unwilling to act on the climate-crisis narrative should be assisted with drugs that improve and promote conformity, according to eminent bio-ethicist Professor Matthew Liao, of New York University, who also wants to see parents dosing their children with hormones and diets to keep them shorter and less of a burden on the planet.

He wants such people to be given the ‘love drug/cuddle chemical’ oxytocin. This would increase their trust and empathy and make them more ready to change to emission-saving lifestyles.

As his peer-reviewed study puts it, “Pharmacologically induced altruism and empathy could increase the likelihood that we adopt the necessary behavioral and market solutions for curbing climate change.” He emphasises there would be no coercion. The drugs would merely help those who want to be climate-friendly behaviour but lack the willpower

Once sufficiently drugged, parents would be less likely to reject notions of “human engineering” techniques that will be needed to create Humans 2.0. These amended species will be 15cm shorter than now, hence more energy efficient and less resource-demanding. His study, Human Engineering and Climate Change, is in Ethics, Policy and the Environment.[1]

"Eminent bio-ethicist" - LOL. This guy is certifiable. What comes out of these institutions of higher learning is frightening. Men without chests

“...this guy is certifiable...”

Brilliant, cosmically intelligent, Progressive geniuses with the limitless ability to think through complex problems, can not be certified since they are the standard of the universe who should be give absolute power to overcome the effects of moronic, non-Progressive thoughs.

See? Ya know?

You don’t hear the word crackpot very often anymore, but that’s exactly what these people are.

Algore should be first in line. He wants to save the planet but simply doesn’t have the will power to give up his mansions, private airplanes, suvs...

The New Ethics. Lobotomize children with drugs if not just abort them completely. All for the greater good.

the fact this guy actually believes this kind of thing is a good idea is terrifying on several levels.

“Bio-ethicists” invariably lack respect for the soul and view humans as cattle to be herded about at the whim of government.

This is right out of Huxley’s “Brave New World” which is the source of my user name. I had a hunch this kind of insanity was coming.

Is this a plot line from the “Despicable Me” franchise?

This is a 5 year old story that was not accurate then and is still not accurate today.
