   I’ve heard the opinion I am about to share from sources more erudite than myself. Dr. Jack Wheeler for one. He engineered Ronald Reagan’s rise to power and predicted the fall of the Soviet Empire two years before Gorbachev came to power.

   I believe that it is the very secular belief system of the Left that has given rise to this “Save the Earth” nonsense.

   They have no Spiritual sensibility. They crave it. So they dress in African cloth, or practice Buddhism (conveniently ommitting the harder aspects), do yoga, and eat Thai food. You know the drill.

   They befriend 3rd world dictators who say they are for the people. They think every indigenous person on the planet is a genius and could never be dishonest.

   They look for love in all the wrong places and make their mistaken enfatuations seem like a crusade of the soul.

   THey cannot believe in any Christian or Judaic principles because then they would have to be accountable for their sexual proclivities and manipulation of other peoples reality with their “good work”.

   So they claim to be pagans and witches or furbies or whatever else they can concoct…anything but be accountable to a moral code that has withstood the test of time and the weakness that is human desire.

   And after all this time in “rebellion” the little children are at the end of their ropes blaming their parents, as they put their own in rest homes (“i cant deal with the hassle of taking care of my mom and dad”), and put their own kids on Ritalin (or let the school counselor do it as they wash their hands of the decision).

   So now it is time to be punished and for repentance.

   Who better to punish the lemmings than Big Mama Earth herself. “NO! MAMA! NO! We’ll be good! We’ll save you! Watch!”

   It is the same old Myth written in non-secular language and politically correct speech. While ya make some moolah on the side.

   I say this to this “tribe”: Mother Earth will heal herself. She is bigger than anything a human can conceive of and, what is more, She sustains life as She “chooses”. And as our scientists tinker with Her secrets, more and more are realizing that She is more than the sum of Her parts.

   Al Gore is urinating into the wind and insists on telling us it is raining.

   May a pox be upon him the rest of his days.

   Bear:

   You make some excellent points. There is some scientific evidence that humans are genetically disposed to believe in a higher power. And since, as you point out, the left eschews religion, what better way to fill the emptiness in their soul than with psuedo religions like worshiping the environment or the Whole Earth.

   It’s all part of this “New Age” belief system where lefties believe in astrology, the magic power of pyramids, and wacky “homeopathic” remedies for illness (some homeopathic treatments are slowly being accepted by the medical community).

   I guess it’s better than nothing…

   All I have to say to believers of Man Made Global Warming is prove it.

   You haven’t and you can’t.

   Michael Crichton speech:

   “Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to
   be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science, consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.”

   Final word on this topic, especially concerning the specious “Universal Consensus”. This is a quote, taken directly from members of the IPCC, whose report Gore took most of the material for his “An Inconvenient Truth”. What do THEY have to say about the so-called “consensus”?

   “In general, the certainty with which this chapter presents our understanding of abrupt climate change is overstated. There is confusion between hypothesis and evidence throughout the chapter, and a great deal of confusion on the differences between an abrupt “climate change” and possible, hypothetical causes of such climate changes.”

   In other words, no matter what Gore says, the jury is still out.
