For eco high priest Al Gore, the debate on global warming is over. The scientific consensus is unanimous; we should just roll up our sleeves and get busy cooling down the 96,935,000 square miles of the Earth’s surface – if not for our sake, for exhausted, non-stop swimming polar bears. And, you might ask, how exactly is this “unanimous” consensus maintained? During a question and answer session at a recent meeting of the Society of Environmental Journalists, filmmaker Phelim McAleer attempted to point out that the British High Court ruled at least nine points made in Gore’s documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” were wrong. McAleer also questioned Gore’s dire polar bear statistics – that’s when McAleer’s microphone went dead. Voila! Consensus maintained! Gore, it seems, will not be inconvenienced by the truth.
McAleer was referring to a 2007 court case brought by a British school official when England’s government decided Gore’s phantom “consensus” was best maintained by indoctrinating young school kids by showing “An Inconvenient Truth.” In the U.K., as is the case here, the only religious instruction tolerated in nihilism’s factories – a.k.a., the public schools – is environmentalism.
McAleer is making a counter documentary to Gore’s called “Not Evil, Just Wrong.” McAleer’s film title gives Gore too much benefit of the doubt.
McAleer and the army of scientists who vehemently differ with Gore’s so-called consensus miss the point. No matter how much evidence they compile to counter environmental science’s computer generated virtual reality, it won’t matter. Environmentalism is a religion and not a hard science. Like Galileo, anti-global warming scientists will be pilloried and shunned. In the eyes of eco-religionists, these heretics are in the hip pocket of “big oil” – their equivalent of a fallen Lucifer.
In the Judeo/Christian tradition, fallen Man is rescued from his folly by the undeserved mercy of a Supreme Being. In the pagan eco-religion, the Earth goddess Gaia has fallen and requires her worshipers to hoist her back on to her crumbling temple pedestal. The polar bear, snail darter and melting polar ice caps are only a few of her martyred saints. Gaia's followers, the U.N. and President Obama will push the Earth back to its pagan point of origin - the center of our solar system.
McAleer and others are as likely to convince Gore and his co-religionists of their error as Hernando Cortes was in converting the Aztec Emperor Montezuma to Christianity. Montezuma was horrified when Cortes described the ritual of communion. In William Prescott’s book “The Conquest of Mexico,” he writes:
"Montezuma may have, perhaps, thought it was not more monstrous to feed on the flesh of a fellow-creature, than on that of the Creator himself."
Gore and his pagan followers couldn’t agree more. And they will tear the heart from – or at the very least, cut the power to their microphones – those who refuse to appease the Earth goddess.
