Carbon Cops

Australia's left-leaning ABC has come out with an explosive new action series that offers a hint of the future in store for us if Kool-Aid–swilling ecofascist liberals prevail. The six-part series Carbon Cops features dashing young scientists Sean Fitzgerald and Lish Fejer, who go from home to home chastising citizens for contributing to the imaginary global warming menace. The Sydney Morning Herald reports:
Each week they don their orange monogrammed shirts to cordon off the toxic home of an Australian family. They arrive with energy-auditing gadgetry, sobering statistics and lips and eyebrows curled in withering admonishment. They rate these people, shame them, then challenge them to do better.
As always, it's hard not to notice the hard-left ideology for which the entire global warming hoax is such a thin pretext:
Taken together, the case studies are not about individual scapegoats as much as an indictment of Western affluence, negligence and self-obsession. As Fitzgerald says: "Out of these six households, everyone can see one family and go, 'Well, that's pretty close to us.'"
In other words, the show demands that we hate ourselves for the affluence we have created.
For now it's just idiot moonbats in goofy orange shirts. Someday soon it could be real police, hauling us off to jail for using the wrong kind of light bulb or not recycling our garbage. Difficult as it is to take seriously, modern environmentalism is actually the most terrifying ideology since communism — with which it has quite a lot in common.
On a tip from Kevin.
