Hysteria erupts amongst packs of [url=http://www.greenpeace.org/int...]wild-eyed bilby-fondlers[/url] over a (supposedly) suppressed report reputedly by (but in reality for) the Pentagon predicting catastrophic consequences from global climate change in the near future (story and link via Tim Blair). What's fascinating is the excitable reaction of the fluffs. They're forever banging on about how those evil neo-con empire-builders are all pathological liars, so why are they so willing to endorse what they say now? The fact that it jibes with their view shouldn't be a factor if they're being rational and thoughtful, now should it? You would think that if greenies' commitment to their cause was driven at least in part by skepticism they would say, "What are these Machiavellian monsters trying to pull on us now? Stay clear of this one, comrade-dudes. Let's only cite research from our own trusted sources." But they don't. They seem way too eager to give the report credence, proving that they're more compelled by emotion rather than intellect. Put another way: If they are so willing to endorse the scientific opinion of those alligned to the Pentagon in this case, then why don't they endorse what they say (or at least listen to them) when war-mongering capitalists don't agree with them. Basically, I'm just sating the obvious: that greenism is a fanatical ideology (in some cases a bloody religion) and not a rational set of beliefs formed primarily on the basis of empirical evidence and detached analysis. The rational person knows that the jury is still out on climate change. He also knows that even if we are seriously affecting the climate it might not necessarily always be for the worse. He also knows that climate has gone through massive, cataclysmic changes long before we were ever on the scene, and that it will do so again, long after we have left it. So he doesn't get too upset about the whole deal. Greenies, on the other hand, are just too damned eager to push their apocalyptic predictions because it makes them feel really important, and they can also use them to boss people around. |
