Curing Green Diseases of the Head with Solar Power

Below is an interesting podcast from John Batchelor. During the third interview, which is about 40% through the podcast, there is a bit about climate change hysteria. A recent interview on the subject had a Hoover Institute Fellow blathering about his book on climate, which he equated to weather. Just write anything about dire days and you can make a living.

In the podcase, below, you will hear the descriptors "secular religion" and "true believers" in a current story (apparently, don't read American news) of recent letters from an Arizona Congressman where seven universities were threatened by demanding backgrounds on apparently non-true believers. 

Academia is a funding whore.

One professor, a climate change believing Democrat, has stopped his research and reportage about there being no evidence of unusual extreme weather. He said the personal attacks and abuse were not worth the effort. 

May as well listen to the entire podcast and learn what is happening in Arabia:

How things work: 

Newspaper: U.N. IPCC chair Rajenda Pachauri faces sexual harassment charges – story then disappears from website

The point of the headline is not about the allegations, per se, as accusations have become a substitute for facts.  Character assasination is part of the new world irrationality. Though one could say what is good for the goose or someting like that.  I raised the story because it was overtly expurgated by well-respected The Economic Times. Nothing you read, except here, is to be trusted.  The day after the Furgueson grand jury heard forensic evidence that the charging criminal was shot in the front, ABC again reported he was shot in the back as he fled.

If interested, one can find the original, missing article here, unless that has been purged. 

===========================

Mr. Pachauri, in his retirement statement, said

'For me the protection of Planet Earth, the survival of all species and sustainability of our ecosystems is more than a mission. It is my religion and my dharma.' 

I obtained this quote from Climate Depot where this statement is praised!

God is dead, morality is passe, and, now, science is a religion.  I will put "sustainability of our ecosystem" on my wall and use it as a mantra.  May help me sleep.  I am reminded of

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

      Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

      And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

      The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!....

Anyway, bring back global warming, please.
