The climate bugaboo is the strangest intellectual aberration of our age ( The SCAM )

Christopher Monckton says that perspective was sorely missing at the Cancun climate conference.

"But don’t you realise," said the bearded, staring enviro-zomb with the regrettable T-shirt, “that global cooling is what we must expect because of global warming?”

"Don’t you realise," I replied, "how silly that sounds? The lowest temperatures ever recorded here in Cancun six days in a row; four extreme winters on the trot in the Northern hemisphere; more people dying in one three-day cold snap in little England in 2002 than Oxfam pretends died of ‘global warming’ worldwide throughout 2010; where’s your perspective, man?"

Perspective, the Olympian capacity to see events as they affect not just us and our mates but everyone, and not just in the excitement of the present but sub specie aeternitatis, in the long, calm, kindly shadow of eternity: this has gone from what passes for education in the West.

The climate bugaboo, the strangest intellectual aberration of our age, rampages because in the me and now we have cast aside three once-universal forms of learning that gave us perspective: a Classical education, to remind us that in reason and logic there is a difference between true and false; a scientific education, to show us which is which; and a religious education, to teach us why the distinction matters.

With perspective, no one would waste a single second of his own time or a red cent of other people’s money trying, Canute-like, to make “global warming” go away.

The Global Warming Hoax has nothing to do with science and everything to do with the religion of socialism, the dominant evil cult in our sad age.

People will believe in anything... including a hoax that has no real empirical basis to it - as long there’s money, power and prestige involved.

That's because when you believe in nothing it's easy to believe in anything.
Something has to fill the hole in the soul.

Good way to illustrate the absurdity of AGW.

Thanks!

Yes, it’s called “GLOBAL DIMMING”

I like it...

Here's the official definition:

..."Global Dimming" is the IQ result of an increasingly under-educated populace that believes in "Manmade Global Warming".

Haha! That’s good!

And how about simply said as “Global Dumbing”
