Confirmed: Global Warming Isn't the Problem, Civilization Is
Posted by Dave Blount at March 28, 2008 7:04 AM
At last a little honesty from the enviropsychos behind the global warming hoax. Kate Rawles, lecturer at the University of Cumbria and a flaming moonbat, sets off some echoes at Greenbang:
Greenbang: What do you think is wrong with the debate on climate change?
Dr Kate: It hasn't really got to grips with the fundamental problem, which is that Western, industrialised lifestyles are literally unsustainable. Climate change is just one symptom of this. WWF famously calculated that if everyone on earth were to enjoy the lifestyle of an average Western European, we would need three planet earths.
Not even the most optimistic believers in technology think that we can technofix this problem so that 6 billion people (let alone the projected 9 billion) can enjoy a western lifestyle without ecological meltdown. It follows that we urgently need to rethink what we currently mean by a "high standard of living" and move away from materialistic versions of this to an understanding of quality of life that could be enjoyed by everyone, without causing environmental mayhem. This is about values, not just about technology.
WWF in this context stands for World Wildlife Fund, not World Wrestling Federation — although the level of scientific credibility is about the same.
While preaching to the choir "Dr. Kate" lets slip the actual objectives of environmentalists: to keep the poor poor, and force the rich to join them, using whatever totalitarian measures will be required.
For thousands of years, the story of mankind has been an upward striving to improve our condition. Now this cult of evil lunatics wants us to reverse that trend, and force us to deliberately worsen our condition.
No matter how much they may care about polar bears, environmentalists clearly do not care about human beings. Even Nazism benefited Nazis. Radical environmentalism is so profoundly depraved that it does not benefit anyone. Yet this sick, pro-poverty ideology has so much influence in this country that we would rather buy oil from our enemies than drill for it in a godforsaken wasteland like ANWR.
