Wally Lamb: "Global warming: the new eugenics"

Wally Lamb teaches us about science:

The eugenics movement and the global warming movement are similar in many respects. Both ideas were introduced by scientists, advanced by politicians, popularized by the media, embraced as a moral necessity, resulted in severe consequences, and eventually rejected as harmful hogwash.

Wally wally wally!

Scientists, politicians, preachers, and ordinary people who doubted the doctrine of eugenics were outcasts, subject to ridicule and worse. Scientists, politicians, preachers, and ordinary people who doubt the doctrine of global warming are outcasts, ridiculed, and worse.

The eugenics movement, carried to its logical conclusion by Hitler, killed millions of innocent people. Global warming, when carried to its logical conclusion, will kill far more people than eugenics, and cause incomprehensible agony to people who desperately need affordable energy to survive and prosper.

This is no way to start a new year.

The idea that increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is "killing God's green earth," is as preposterous as the idea that society would be better if it consisted only of blond-haired, blue-eyed Aryans.

Like juggling jello.

It is the height of arrogance to think that Congress can enact laws that will be obeyed by nature.

It is the height of arrogance to think that turtles can be responsible airline pilots.
