Yesterday, Senator Barbara Boxer — one of California’s dysfunctional U.S. Senators — said this:
"The scientific debate is over. We will have legislation this year."
This is but the latest in what looks like an orchestrated campaign by the left to shut down all debate and discussion on global warming. In recent weeks, we’ve seen efforts to ban global-warming skeptics from radio and TV, to refuse funding to skeptics, and even to criminalize public speech by skeptics (by claiming that any skeptical talk is criminally misleading and damaging to the public).
This is un-American.
This is madness.
This is anti-science.
This is getting dangerously close to Fahrenheit 451 (how long until we’re told to burn our copies of The Skeptical Environmentalist?), and Orwellian thought control (shutting down legitimate debate is just one step from telling you you’re not allowed to have skeptical thoughts).
This is (as others have observed) very much like a kind of secular religion — our leftie “betters” want us to take global warming on faith.
Does anyone have any good ideas on how to combat this?

ReplyDeleteGoogle Earth tells me that these coordinates resolve to a small, triangular, grassy mall at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue NW and F Street NW in Washington, DC. This is just a few blocks away from the Capitol building. So…my commenter most likely meant the Capitol building — certainly a prodigious source of hot air — or else he knows of another hot air source on that grassy mall…
