Climate-change scepticism must be 'treated', says enviro-sociologist
Dubious on warmo peril? You're the kind who'd own slaves
Scepticism regarding the need for immediate and massive action against carbon emissions is a sickness of societies and individuals which needs to be "treated", according to an Oregon-based professor of "sociology and environmental studies". Professor Kari Norgaard compares the struggle against climate scepticism to that against racism and slavery in the US South.
Prof Norgaard holds a B.S. in biology and a master's and PhD in sociology.
"Over the past ten years I have published and taught in the areas of environmental sociology, gender and environment, race and environment, climate change, sociology of culture, social movements and sociology of emotions," she says.

They are different that the commies that ran the Soviet Union.
It’s sad that Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney might agree...
She sounds like someone out of “A Brave New World”. Soma anyone?
More like Soviet-style psychiatric “treatments” for dissidents...
“Over the past ten years I have published and taught in the areas of environmental sociology, gender and environment, race and environment, climate change, sociology of culture, social movements and sociology of emotions,” she says.
Yeah...and everyone of her students is currently out of work.
Amen.
OK now if anyone needs help is the sheep which sit there and repeat bumper stickers especially this idiot in that photo.
The left are so thick that they cannot even see how stupid they are or how pathetic they are.
Hell, they’re laughing stock and live in a dream world and they wonder why many make fun of them and think liberalism is a mental disease.

Note that there are no actual scientific disciplines in there. Professors of the soft sciences have always longed to be taken as seriously as physicists, chemists, and mathematicians are. Much mischief has been born of this professional jealousy, not least of which is Marxism itself, which took one crackpot economic theory and imbued it with the magical word "scientific" and, boom: hundreds of millions dead.
sigh
Political dissent = mental illness.
Last seen in the USSR
What a loon! If the planet Earth gets warmer, so do the other planetary objects in our solar system. If the planet gets cooler, so do the other planetary objects in our solar system. Hello loon, it’s the Sun at fault here! Mankind is not doing it, whatever you call it - global warming, global cooling, or climate change. It’s the Sun and other natural forces at work. Other natural forces being volcanos, magnetic forces on the core, etc.
Another tenured, tax supported lunatic.
Did you know that Europe has just gone thru one of the coldest winters in many years - our Media goons didn’t cover it because that would go against the mantra of AGW/ACC blah blah blah. The last time I read about it a few months ago, 500 people had died due to the extreme weather (not climate). As a resident of Michigan, I am thrilled with the mild winter - an answer to a prayer - You are right on the money!
It’s the curse of the “i” names.
All those poor women born of flower children who thought it was so “cool” or “empowering” to spell their daughters’ names with an i instead of a y...... yeah, most of those women went on to be “Prof. Norgaard”.
She looks like the type of moron who would buy this “climate change” bull****. Not very bright but you don’t have to be very bright these days to be considered a “professor”. You just have to kiss a lot of Marxist @$$.
Final exams in the professor's class
So true!
So true!
Considering history, AGW may be good to counter a natural and sweeps long term cooling trend we're in for.
