The tiny mind of the rabid zealot

If you ever had any doubts in your mind as to what we’re dealing with when it comes to environmentalists, all one has to do is look to Copenhagen. It’s a very telling scene out there, and one that anybody with an ounce of sanity running in their veins should stay very clear of. Why? Because what is happening in Copenhagen isn’t environmentalism. It isn’t even really about being green. What is happening in Copenhagen is a crusade of biblical proportions.

Crusade: any vigorous, aggressive movement for the defense or advancement of an idea or cause

So why point this out? Because what is happening is a violent and irrational drive for the advancement of an idea.

* GASP * Did he just saya what I thought he said?

Oh, you bet I did. Climate change, nee global warming is an idea. A concept. A hypothetical scenario. It is not fact which is why we label the blind followers of the principle zealots.

Earlier this week Albert Gore jr had to suck it up and admit that he was wrong on his arctic ice melt claims. You remember, don’t you? It was part of that scientific ”consensus” regarding the doomsday scenario that accompanied global warming… According to the truth as revealed, Albert told a big fat lie. He created a frightening scenario specifically and deliberately designed to scare the crap out of people… But he was wrong and he had to fess up to it. This is stacked on top of the poorly titled “climategate” email scandal.

Yet, the zealots push on… They push because they are crusaders fighting for the pope of the new church (the curch of climatology?) and they are fighting for the advancement of an idea. Sadly, like so many other religious extremists, facts are meaningless in the face of ideology… And yes, at this point it’s time to lump environmentalists into the same catagory of lunatics as religious extremists.

I would personlly enjoy the opportunity to sit down with one of these people and ask them, in all seriousness, why they are blind to everything but what they choose to believe. Even in the face of a crumbling “consensus” and countless recants and restatements that come about when the purveyors of the so-called truth are caught lying, why there is no acknowledgement that the facts are based more-so on faith than on reality.

Maybe one of these people could explain why it is that global warming has not only flatlined (read: the temperature has not been increasing in recent years), but also somehow provided us with one of the coldest winters in recenent years. Oh, and I’m not just talking about the tundra. This was cold on a global scale. While some may lay claim that cold weather is a sign of global warming, it’s a very peculiar stretch. But then again, the zealot will gladly tell you that anything that happens that lies anywhere out of the mean is a sign of impending doom at the hands of global warming. But on that same note, they are absolutely unable to explain to you why the climate models that they base their faith on didn’t predict this cold weather (and 2009 is in poor shape where cold weather is concerned).

Of course, there are no answers. You might as well ask a suicide bomber why he has chosen to strap on a vest of C4 and is willing to blow himself to bits on faith alone. They may be able to answer you, but the answers would not make sense to the sensible people out there because there is no weight in answers aimed to explain blind faith.

Think about it.
