You missed the real pearl at the end of Al Gore's diatribe :G.K. Chesterton: "When a man stops believing in God, he doesn't then believe in nothing, he believes anything."
*** QUOTE ***But there's something even more precious to be gained if we do the right thing. The climate crisis offers us the chance to experience what few generations in history have had the privilege of experiencing: a generational mission; a compelling moral purpose; a shared cause; and the thrill of being forced by circumstances to put aside the pettiness and conflict of politics and to embrace a genuine moral and spiritual challenge.
*** END QUOTE ***
Mr. Gore clearly lays out his driving force and what he offers to the world: "a compelling moral purpose; a shared cause; and . . . a genuine moral and spiritual challenge." The entire man-caused climate change racket is a new secular religion that is used to help a drifting generation feel better about itself. Feeling guilty about their prosperity, confused by a world that seems to resent them, and perplexingly empty after having jettisoned the religion of their parents, the Climatists search for something to make them feel better.
But here is the irony: nearly 500 years after Copernicus took man out of the center of the universe and placed the sun firmly at the center of our little planetary system, the new secular religionists are trying to put man back at the center as the cause of everything. In order to feel good about themselves, they need to feel that man is causing all negative change and only Enlightened Man (Homo goriens) can make it right. Only by listening to, and following, our modern Moses in form of Al Gore can we reach the Promised Land. Welcome to the new Middle Ages, all you have to do is believe!
It is a truly stupefying feat of reactionary ignorance and vanity.

The algore has eclipsed P.T. Barnum as the world's greatest showman. And like P.T., everything that's being offered is a fallacy masquerading as truth.
ReplyDeleteFrom the man who gave us the internet we now have a convenient fiction that has resulted in the largest cult following in history. I could speculate as to the ulterior motives of those who "believe" yet know better, but that would put me on the same plane as the algore.Frankly I'd sooner drink the Kool-Aid.
Agreed.
ReplyDeleteBut geez, there's no need to insult Barnum. He was just trying to make a buck. He's a paragon by comparison.
