I don't also call it The Church of Global Warming for nothing.<br /><br />W.R.

Anthropogenic global warming is true not because of the unassailable proof but because anyone who doubts that it's true is stupid. Anthropogenic global warming is true because it's true, true, true, true, true. Anthropogenic global warming is true because a bunch of very smart people say it's true and who are <i>you</i> to disagree?<br /><br />What I'm not convinced of is the religion metaphor. I don't think fervor for anthropogenic global warming is religious in nature. I've come to be convinced that the essence of lefties is emotional immaturity. <br /><br />Like I've written before, I think they're over-indulged, little snots who are trying to act the way they think adults act and doing an exceptionally poor job of it since they're really over-indulged, little snots.allen (in Michigan)noreply@blogger.com
