The moderate-conservative Republican in California side-eyes the "climate change" debate: "I agree that American politics on the matter of climate change is
ridiculous, pointless and mental masturbation. The only aspect of it
that actually does have any credibility is the extent to which some
fraction of the populous is compelled to defend scientific research. I
have sympathy with that - however the 'science clique' has resorted to
demogoguery of the worst kind, and that's the thing that annoys me. So I
always make a point to raise matters of scientific study that do not
support the popular scientistic consensus."
More: "Of
course I also enjoy mocking Progressives on this particular matter
because it is the rise of the BRICs that will, should the entire 'carbon
theory' prove correct, be responsible for what warming there would be.
So how will Progressives convince Indians and Chinese to *not* want
first world transportation systems? And how would global anything be
enforced without empire? I think these are questions they are too dainty
to address - that they would rather pick on Americans than deal with
the actual environmental intransigence of the global populations."
