Here is one academic who is not afraid to call it like he sees it. Global warming is the new religion of First World urban elites i have to say I like this guy. I dont see how the GW types are any different than the socialists/communists of the 19th and 20th centuries. Their argument is couched in different terms but it is ultimately about who gets to control the mass of the people. Here is another good article about him and his CV: Meet the man who has exposed the great climate change con trick, Ian Plimer
I think at least some people in my part of the country are starting to get pretty annoyed with the GW issue now since we've had such a cool summer thus far. Abnormally cool temperatures throughout these past few months, and even the past two years seem to have been cooler than before. I have to think that at least some of the popular support behind the “green” bandwagon has been because people have anecdotal experience regarding the warmer years we've had (at least until the recent cool down). I expect to see more support for global warming taxes to drop, at least among the people (not necessarily the politicians, though).
We have had an abnormally cool summer here in Germany too thus far. The temperature has been hovering about 10-15 Farenheit below what is typical. Last week we had good weather but today it is back to being cool. the highs have generally been in the low 70s to high 60s, we even had a few days in July with highs in the 50s. The garden is showing it too. Most of our plants are ripening about 1-2 weeks behing usual.I hope that support for GW drops. What I would like to see is a real debate about the science of it. So far all I have seen is GW supporters attempting and largely succeeding at sifling and silencing dissenters. I especially like the talk about "the consensus" on GW. I thought science was about observed evidence, the free play of ideas, and not consensus.
Look what this guy says:
One of the main obstructions to meaningful action is "modern democracy", he added. "Even the best democracies agree that when a major war approaches, democracy must be put on hold for the time being. I have a feeling that climate change may be an issue as severe as a war. It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while."
James Lovelock: Humans are too stupid to prevent climate changeI can see it now - a leftist dictatorship all in the spirit of "good intentions". Isn't that kind of what Hugo Chavez has done as well?
It's an excuse to put democracy on hold, and it's the vehicle that will lead to world government.
This is off topic, but anyway - do you see the recent raid of militia in Michigan to be indicative of this as well? I can see why they were raided if they were threatening imminent terrorist activities, but at the same time I could see this kind of thing as a harbinger that justifies future raids on such outfits.

From what other militia leaders were saying about it, they didn't have a problem with this particular raid because the ones involved were planning on doing some illegal things. I don't really have an opinion on this other than if people are planning stupid things, they are asking the government to conduct pre-emptive raids such as this one. So my point is, why give the government (who is itching to suppress dissent), a reason to go off on folks? It's just not smart.

Kind of makes you think of Ruby Ridge and Waco doesn't it? I wonder why this kind of stuff only goes on when there are Democrats in the White House or am I seeing a trend that does not really exist?

Pay no attention to the man behind the cutain....

No the Democrats aren't doing anything different. With the UnPatriot Act drafted by Republicans, they now have more reasons to go after people (but in this case it was warranted as this militia group was planning on making some attack in April).
