Sceptics need treatment for our “resistance”, this professor insists:

Resistance at individual and societal levels must be recognized and treated before real action can be taken to effectively address threats facing the planet from human-caused contributions to climate change.

That’s the message to this week’s Planet Under Pressure Conference by a group of speakers led by Kari Marie Norgaard, professor of sociology and environmental studies at the University of Oregon…

“We find a profound misfit between dire scientific predictions of ongoing and future climate changes and scientific assessments of needed emissions reductions on the one hand, and weak political, social or policy response on the other,” Norgaard said.

Actually, Professor, that misfit may be due to the implausibility of those predictions, given how many have already not come to pass.

But, no, the professor insists we must be made to believe: http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt...and_its_not_the_sceptics/

To save the World from what?

Great Britain - that drought stricken nation

Lunacy of the highest order

In the twentieth century intellectuals foisted Communism on the world, thus ensuring that millions of Russians, Chinese, Cambodians and others would be killed for their dissent. Intellectuals are always the first to embrace every dictator and to excuse their methods.

The warmists are increasingly desperate as their dreams of global domination are falling apart. http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/arti...ions&utm_medium=email

I hear that the potential £10,000 "Green Deal" loan will have to be paid back through an increase in your Electricity/Gas charges.

And the improvements will be mandatory


.... It's why in your declaration of Independence it says "He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance."

Nothing has changed this side of the pond since 1776

The "Green Deal" will land on us from Autumn this year

It appears that the concept of Man Made Global Warming isn't about raising taxes after all. It looks like I have made a huge error in judgement
