CAGW as Biblical apocalyptic vision

Peter Foster compares Birthers, truthers and warmers:

... when it comes to demonization, irrationality, apocalyptic visions and dangerous policies, surely no paranoid fantasy of the Birthers or Truthers ranks with the profound quasi-religious conviction that industrial society threatens life on Earth.

What could be more Biblical than projections of the floods, droughts, hurricanes, starvation and conflict that will come if the sinful materialist world does not repent of its free market harlotry and deliver itself over to those severe moralists who would dictate acceptable levels of human consumption and apportion the world’s resources?

...The Antichrist in the climate change morality play is — yet again — capitalism, which has often been presented by its ideological enemies in demonic, dragon-like form.

... It is ironic indeed that the spiritual yearning to smite selfish demons and rule (or consult for) a centrally-guided sustainable Utopia — despite all the horrendous lessons of history — is embraced by many of the same rationalist intellectuals who sneer at Birthers and Truthers. This claque promotes policies that have failed abysmally in the past, and continues to demand ever more-ambitious global schemes despite the utter collapse of the UN-led Kyoto process at Copenhagen.

Obama decries “cozy” links

President Barack Obama on Friday angrily decried the "ridiculous spectacle" of oil
industry officials pointing fingers of blame for the catastrophic spill in the Gulf of Mexico and pledged to end a "cozy relationship" between the oil industry and federal regulators that he said had extended into his own administration.

Well, at least he admits the oil industry’s links with his administration.

But then again maybe he’s just trying to distract us from his administration’s much bigger and cozier relationship with Goldman Sachs.

Bad news on the climate front

The latest satellite data show low climate sensitivity to increasing CO2. Damn! If this holds up the global warming we've been promised by the AGW hysterics will not materialize. So break out the long johns in preparation for the coming ice age.

Steve Nash wades into Arizona politics

From Canwest News Service:

Although he's a Canadian, Steve Nash of Victoria has leaped sneakers first into the contentious immigration bill debate in Arizona.

... [Nash] appeared on ESPN yesterday and lashed out at the new bill that would allow Arizona police to stop and question people on reasonable suspicion of being illegal immigrants into the United States.

... Nash's stance doesn't surprise those who knew him in Victoria and who saw his sense of social justice emerging in school.

... "This league is very multicultural, including myself as a foreigner," he said.

"As a foreigner" Nash should mind his manners and stick his Canuck multi-culti "sense of social justice" where the sun don’t shine.

As for the Times Colonist author of the above story, he should try not to distort the facts. The Arizona law does not "... allow Arizona police to stop and question people on reasonable suspicion of being illegal immigrants ...".

Rush Limbaugh: "professional sports needs to man up":

... don't give us this superior, "I'm better than you are," multicultural
garbage ...
