The south is still realizing the full extent of the damage caused by this week’s storms. Nearly 300 people are dead. The country is rallying in support of the devatated areas, and President Obama (who must have learned something from ignoring Nashville’s flood last year) is set break character to visit the very red state today.
Anyone with a soul feels pain for those affected. Thousands have lost everything. Lives were destroyed. Think Progress (via Da Tech Guy) has instead chosen to adopt the Pat Robertson model and claim Divine Justice for those redneck Republican climate change deniers in the south.
“Given that global warming is unequivocal,” climate scientist Kevin Trenberth cautioned the American Meteorological Society in January of this year, “the null hypothesis should be that all weather events are affected by global warming rather than the inane statements along the lines of ‘of course we cannot attribute any particular weather event to global warming.’”
"The congressional delegations of these states — Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, Virginia, and Kentucky — overwhelmingly voted to reject the science that polluting the climate is dangerous. They are deliberately ignoring the warnings from scientists."
You’re reading that right. To paraphrase Brad Johnson’s post: Since the south has rejected the climate change hysteria, clearly they’re just asking for the wrath of Gaia, and should expect to be demolished.
First line in the Ecophreik Apostlel's creed.
It is the source of their religion. Their god is vindictive.
Go to hell, Yankees.
Mother Gaia is a vengeful god.
I guess
It’s Saul Alinsky’s world, we just live in it. There is absolutely nothing that can’t be politicized for the benefit of the Left.
I don’t want to read the rest of the comments. They’re all disgusting, and I find it difficult for them to claim that they’re human.
Who knew that Global Warming took note of how congressmen vote and then avenged itself on them?
Being as it is the other way around, they are engaging in pure projection:
"... if your self-image is invested in the idea that the world is catastrophically warming, you will be threatened by evidence that it is not. The other day, Taranto made the point that "for white liberals of a certain age (read baby boomers), an important part of their self-image lies in the assumption that conservatives are racist."
"The point of this self-serving narrative is obviously not to describe reality, but rather, to feel good about oneself. It is auto-therapy, as is so much of the liberal narrative. For the liberal, everyone who disagrees with him is racist, misogynist, "homophobic," "Islamophobic," "anti-science," contemptuous of the poor, etc.
"In each case, the characterization is simply a transparent projection deployed for the purpose of maintaining the self-flattering narrative. ..."

When Narratives Attack
by Robert Godwin, Ph.D (Clinical Psychologist)

Michael Crichton, September 15, 2003 "Environmentalism as Religion"
"I have been asked to talk about what I consider the most important challenge facing mankind, and I have a fundamental answer. The greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda. Perceiving the truth has always been a challenge to mankind, but in the information age (or as I think of it, the disinformation age) it takes on a special urgency and importance. ......
"Today, one of the most powerful religions in the Western World is environmentalism. Environmentalism seems to be the religion of choice for urban atheists. Why do I say it's a religion? Well, just look at the beliefs. If you look carefully, you see that environmentalism is in fact a perfect 21st century remapping of traditional Judeo-Christian beliefs and myths. There's an initial Eden, a paradise, a state of grace and unity with nature, there's a fall from grace into a state of pollution as a result of eating from the tree of knowledge, and as a result of our actions there is a judgment day coming for us all. We are all energy sinners, doomed to die, unless we seek salvation, which is now called sustainability. Sustainability is salvation in the church of the environment.
" Just as organic food is its communion, that pesticide-free wafer that the right people with the right beliefs, imbibe. ...Environmentalism needs to be absolutely based in objective and verifiable science, it needs to be rational, and it needs to be flexible... How will we manage to get environmentalism out of the clutches of religion, and back to a scientific discipline? There's a simple answer: we must institute far more stringent requirements for what constitutes knowledge in the environmental realm.
"I am thoroughly sick of politicized so-called facts that simply aren't true. It isn't that these "facts" are exaggerations of an underlying truth. Nor is it that certain organizations are spinning their case to present it in the strongest way. Not at all---what more and more groups are doing is putting out is lies, pure and simple. Falsehoods that they know to be false...
"At this moment, the EPA is hopelessly politicized. In the wake of Carol Browner, it is probably better to shut it down and start over...."
Mark for later
HA!
They’re gonna need a bigger tornado!

Oh, they love humanity
It’s just people they hate
White religious southern people, especially
Note to the guys at Think Progress:
God bless your little hearts.......
So it’s just the modern version of Sherman.
Hey Kevin, go hug a tree and shove a sapling where the sun don’t shine and you and Al Gore PAY ATTENTION. GLOBAL WARMING= New PC word CLIMATE CONTROL is a fraud, hoax,scam and biggest line of BS on earth. The media/Obama/Gore/progressives; promote this garbage like you do and should be tried as con men.
Weather Channel experts and many, many others say ya’ll are lying frauds. Rednecks of the south will be happy to tell you so to your face.
