[MD] The Religion of Global Warming

[Arlo Bensinger]

[Platt]
When it comes to whom to believe about global 
warming I'll take Princeton physicist Freeman Dyson...

[Arlo]
Its amazing how quick evil acerdimics and "SOM 
scientists" go from being commie, deceitful, 
anti-liberty, global cabalists to "supported 
authorities on a subject" when they advance 
support for conservative ideology...

Scientist #1: Global warming has real implications.
Platt: You're just a commie hack prostituting 
yourself for anti-freedom tryannists bent on enslaving mankind.
Scientist #2: Global warming may be overstated.
Platt: Scientsts have now proven global warming to be a hoax.

But to be accurate in summing Dyson's position, 
you may want to have included this.

"Environmentalism has replaced socialism as the 
leading secular religion. And the ethics of 
environmentalism are fundamentally sound. 
Scientists and economists can agree with Buddhist 
monks and Christian activists that ruthless 
destruction of natural habitats is evil and 
careful preservation of birds and butterflies is 
good. The worldwide community of 
environmentalists—most of whom are not 
scientists—holds the moral high ground, and is 
guiding human societies toward a hopeful future. 
Environmentalism, as a religion of hope and 
respect for nature, is here to stay. This is a 
religion that we can all share, whether or not we 
believe that global warming is harmful." (Dyson, 
"The Question of Global Warming, NY Review of Books)

So whether or not Dyson correctly advances 
"environmentalism" as a "secular religion", he is 
clear that such a belief has "fundamentally 
sound" ethics, that preservation of species "is 
good", and that, and I quote in full "the 
worldwide community of environmentalists HOLDS THE MORAL HIGH GROUND".

Enough said.
