Wow. Conundrum squared.

At first:

Well said. I like the analogy with the Catholic Church…

One post of 1000′s I have read about AGW (forgive the lack of attribution) compared the AGW “scientists” to those “scientists” who served the Inquisition…and produced the “science” the Church wanted…so far, so good…

But, I am thinking, that’s as far as your “rational” point goes. You mention god. Why mention god, at all?

…your references to “this is the first big-time policy manifestation of a post-Christian West”…and then to quote Chesterton, of all mystics…“When man ceases to believe in God he will believe in anything.”

Sorry, I have no idea where this comes from, or is in the least bit rational…

It degrades the entire argument.

How dare you compare people who belive in AGW “true elievers”?…excepting the scientists purveying it.

The issue is not the simple vacuum you present.

The issue is not about any kind of faith or vacuum,
Jesus H. Christ…but that, as I believe, the majority of Americans, who actually think more than you might imagine, have been presented with overwhleming false scientific evidence. And made decisions based on it.

And now, it’s coming out, and those Americans are questioning…based on science…

Time will tell…
