“CLIMATE CHANGE SCEPTICISM IS A SICKNESS THAT
MUST BE TREATED”

“Comparing
skepticism of man-made global warming to racist beliefs, an Oregon-based
professor of sociology and environmental studies has labelled doubts about
anthropogenic climate change a “sickness” for which individuals need to be
“treated”.
“Kari Norgaard, who is currently appearing at the ‘Planet Under
Pressure’ conference in London, has presented a paper in which she argues that “cultural
resistance” to accepting the premise that humans are responsible for climate
change “must be recognized and treated” as an aberrant sociological behavior.
Norgaard equates skepticism of climate change alarmists – whose data is
continually proven to be politicized, agenda driven and downright inaccurate – with racism, noting that
overcoming such viewpoints poses a similar challenge “to racism or slavery in
the U.S. South.”
“Professor Norgaard
considers that fuzzy-studies academics such as herself must stand shoulder to
shoulder with the actual real climate scientists who know some maths in an
effort to change society and individuals for their own good. It’s not a new
idea: trick-cyclists in Blighty and the US have lately called for a “science of
communicating science” rather reminiscent of Isaac Asimov’s science-fictional
“Psychohistory” discipline, able to predict and alter the behaviour of large
populations,” reports the Register. As Jurriaan Maessen documented
yesterday, the ‘Planet
Under Pressure’ confab at which Norgaard is appearing to push this insane
drivel is nothing other than a strategy session for neo-eugenicists to hone
their population control agenda.
A statement put out
by the scientists behind the event calls for humans to be packed into denser
cities (eco-gulags?) so that the rest of the planet can be surrendered to
mother nature. It’s a similar idea to the nightmare ‘Planned-Opolis’ proposal put out by the Forum for the Future
organization last year, in which human activity will be tightly regulated by a
dictatorial technocracy in the name of saving the planet.
The mindset of this
gaggle of arrogant, scoffing elitists in their drive to micro-manage the human
race, which they regard as a plague on the earth, is best encapsulated by the
following quote from ‘Planet Under Pressure’ attendee and Yale University
professor Karen Seto.
“We certainly don’t
want them (humans) strolling about the entire countryside. We want them to save
land for nature by living closely [together],” Seto told MSNBC.
The effort to
re-brand legitimate scientific dissent as a mental disorder that requires
pharmacological or psychological treatment is a frightening glimpse into the
Brave New World society climate change alarmists see themselves as ruling over.
Due to the fact
that skepticism towards man-made global warming is running at an all time high,
and with good reason, rather than admit they have lost the debate, climate
change alarmists are instead advocating that their ideological opponents simply
be drugged or brainwashed into compliance.
Norgaard’s effort
to equate climate skepticism with racism as a disorder that requires
“treatment” also serves as a reminder of the story we
covered earlier this month about
the establishment’s efforts to push the pharmaceutical heart drug Propranolol
as a “cure” for racist thoughts.”

As a comment regarding
the possible information content of any event occurring or of any statement corresponding to facts, I offer a couple of pages
from my Sustainability Primer:
The caption reads:
Looks more pompous than it is. Probabilities are assessed by everyone in
daily life- ‘weighing the odds’ – and more seriously by juries and
bookmakers; the whole insurance industry
lives by its actuaries calculating risks of everything.
Things get really interesting, when the probability of any
statement – scientific, political, ideological, or in the – whatever – is
claimed to be 100% because then log1/p becomes log1, and “I”, the information content, becomes ZERO. That doesn’t prove anything right or wrong,
it just puts any statement beyond the realm of rational discussion, making it a
taboo. There is, of course, plenty of
room for human endeavour to be beautifully exercised beyond pure rationality
e.g. in visual arts and music, or fiction and poetry – for example. Sur-realism can be quite imagination
expanding – even Stephen Hawkings, eyetwinkingly, mentions the Guide.
Such claimed certainty can, however, also lead to brutal
fascism from multifarious persuasions.
OK, I stay with FAWLTY TOWERS and John Cleese’s Don’t Mention the War.
Things get similarly interesting when the probability of
anything is claimed to be impossible, i.e. p=0, then 1/0 becomes infinity and
the information content would similarly become infinite. On the lightweight side one can think of Lord
Kelvin who declared that heavier than air flight is absolutely impossible; but then he knew more about thermodynamics
than anyone else at the time, but nothing about aerodynamics – which after all
hadn’t been invented yet. Think Black Swan.
So be on your guard when confronted with any p=100% and p=0%
statement – it ain’t necessarily so! Rather, it can quite definitely not be so.
One of the following pages illustrates:
