Prof Says Global Warming Skepticism Is Racism…Wants It Diagnosed As a Disease

Professor Kari Norgaard has followed the lead of all the other Liberals who can’t use data and facts to win their argument. Professor Norgaard, from the University of Oregon, says to deny Global Warming junk science is “racism.” But, it’s even more absurd than that. If you reject the junk data, corruption, and blatant grab for power that is the Green Movement she wants you diagnosed with a disease. And treated.

"From 1934 to 1940, under Lysenko's admonitions and with Stalin's approval, many geneticists were executed (including Isaak Agol, Solomon Levit, Grigorii Levitskii, Georgii Karpechenko and Georgii Nadson) or sent to labor camps. The famous Soviet geneticist Nikolai Vavilov was arrested in 1940 and died in prison in 1943."

"Thus, Lysenkoism caused serious, long-term harm to Soviet knowledge of biology. It represented a serious failure of the early Soviet leadership to find real solutions to agricultural problems, throwing their support behind a charlatan at the expense of many human lives."

I guess if global warming skepticism is a disease it is covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and reasonable accomodation is required, right?

You shouldn’t post that. It could be interpreted as a death threat.

“deciding who is culturally authorized to lead the charge for re-thinking and re-inventing social life”

One paradox of Living in Denial is that it reveals a distinctive local culture that seems resilient to the narrated threat of climate change. Cultural practices and collective beliefs in Bygdaby stabilize community life rather than unsettle it. They allow the social organization of denial to emerge as a form of resistance to external global-scale challenges. This perspective challenges the positive valency that has recently been attached to the idea of resilience. Rather than being a desirable property of communities, cultural resilience may in fact become subversive by disabling radical forms of social and political change.

Here is where the real challenge of climate change rests, for denialists and activists alike: deciding who is culturally authorized to lead the charge for re-thinking and re-inventing social life in what is now inescapably a globalized and deeply interconnected world. It used to be kings and priests. Modernity then tried politicians and scientists. We now seem to be trying celebrities and bloggers. But who would the citizens of Bygdaby trust to lead them out of the land of slavery and denial?

I finally realized what it is. I have a friend who has cerebral palsy and sure enough, after a little searching, found out she has it too.

I feel bad about some of the comments made as to her appearance, but it doesn't change the fact that she's a nutjob.

I read Solzhenitsyn's account of Lysenkoism. He wasn't so charitable as to declare it anything less than deliberate genocide.

Farce is orchestrated tragedy.
