Out of the mouth of babes

You know me and my attitude to Global Warming scientists. Right?
You know I believe absolutely everything they say. Right?
They are, after all scientists who know what they are talking about, so who am I, a mere mortal, to question them? Right?
"We need to get some broad based support, to capture the public’s imagination… So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts… Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest." – Stephen Schneider, Stanford Professor of Climatology, lead author of many IPCC reports.
Stanford Professor of Climatology? His word must be taken as gospel. Right?
"We’ve got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy." – Timothy Wirth, President of the UN Foundation.
We couldn’t possibly doubt the UN? Could we?
"The only way to get our society to truly change is to frighten people with the possibility of a catastrophe." – emeritus professor Daniel Botkin
An emeritus professor? He must be right?
"It doesn’t matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true." – Paul Watson, co-founder of Greenpeace.
Greenpeace are on the side of the angels? Right?
There was that terrible scare of the files that were ‘liberated’ from the CRU. I’m delighted to see that the experts are more than willing to answer questions on this scandal.
It makes you think?
I hope so.
Tips the hat to Captain Ranty-Freeman.
