Envirokook David Shearman Calls for Totalitarianism
Totalitarianism is implicit in the global warming hoax. If human activity is to be severely curtailed, with obvious extreme effects on our standard of living, people are going to rebel unless a Stalinesque government keeps them in line. Sometimes envirokooks are quite up-front about where Algorism would inevitably lead. David Shearman, Honorary Secretary of Doctors for the Environmental Australia, openly calls for an end to democracy.
Shearman is delighted that the authoritarian regime in China says it will ban plastic bags, which supposedly make it be too hot out:
Let us contrast this with the indecisiveness of the democracies which together produce approximately the other half of the world’s greenhouse emissions. It is perhaps reasonable to ask the reader a question. Taking into account the performance of the democracies in the reduction of emissions over the past decade, do you feel that the democracies are able and willing to reduce their emissions by 60–80 per cent this century or perhaps more importantly by approximately 10 per cent each decade?
Of course not, because this would plunge us all into poverty, and free people wouldn't stand for it. This is why Shearman opines that Australia suffers from a "surfeit of democracy." You see, democracy responds to "the needs of corporate enterprise" and falls pray to "the human denial to recognize its limitations." In America, "unbridled individual liberty overwhelms many of the collective needs of the citizens."
All this democracy foolishness must be set aside so that we can address the imaginary climate change crisis:
Reform must involve the adoption of structures to act quickly regardless of some perceived liberties.
Here's why he's so excited about the Chinese ban on shopping bags:
The Chinese decision on shopping bags is authoritarian and contrasts with the voluntary non-effective solutions put forward in most Western democracies. We are going to have to look how authoritarian decisions based on consensus science can be implemented to contain greenhouse emissions.
The "consensus" he refers to is as imaginary as anthropogenic global warming itself. The idea that Chinese autocrats would impose a massive reduction in economic activity is preposterous. Plastic bags used to be favored by envirokooks, on the grounds that paper bags are made out of murdered trees. But none of this matters in light of the promise of absolute power for left-wing extremists.
Al Gore and his acolytes would make the Khmer Rouge look like America's Founding Fathers if given the chance. Their bizarre antihuman ideology is more evil even than communism, from the ruins of which it developed.

To be a moonbat leftist, you have to decry minor government intrusions on privacy and freedom of movement in order to fight terrorism as unacceptable manifestations of a fascist police state.
But then, to fight ManBearPig, you have to turn around and advocate massive government intrusion, and indeed absolute control, of every aspect of a person's life.
Basically, the left seeking to defend "the environment" against an enemy. The designated enemy is human life. What do you suppose the left intends to do with that enemy?

Yikes V the K!
China is a filthy, polluted country. It is hard to imagine a worse environmental role model except perhaps Haiti or somewhere along those lines. The Chinese totalitarian birth control policy has nothing to do with the well being of the average worker but rather the elites who would be toppled if the population took its natural course. Fewer people with weakened family bonds of loyalty and less social capital are easier to boss around.

To put it another way: "While democracies talk, national socialism acts!" (Adolph Hitler)
Personaly, I use a cardboard box when I shop for groceries. Because it's more convienient than dealing with bags.

What I find so frightening now is how these lunatics can spew this stuff with so few people even raising an eyebrow.
