Demonstrators estimated to number around 100,000 marched from Copenhagen’s Chistiansborg Slotsplads to the Bella Center where delegates representing 200 nations are gathered to find an expensive and freedom-killing solution to a nonexistent problem – global warming. The demonstrators expressed frustration with all the talk at the climate conference and want action. The protestors, however, were less united by their wants than they were in their clamor.
A lone voice in the crowd, barley heard over the loud swish of police helicopters, was David Pontoppidan, a sociology student from the University of Copenhagen. “We want free debate,” the New York Times reported, “We want to be able to be taken seriously even though we don’t agree with the U.N.” Welcome to the club, David.
Al Gore’s sci-fi classic, “An Inconvenient Truth,” may have been short on truth, but its real purpose was to inconvenience those wishing to engage in honest debate regarding the preposterous apocalyptic claims made by the tax-supported high priests of climate science. A central tenant of Gore's fable is that the overwhelming consensus among climatologists confirms that global warming is real and that we are its cause.
As the e-mails from “climategate” show, that consensus is the product of a massive scientific fraud. In defense of the Climate Research Unit – the central perpetrator of the scam – the mass media argues that we Americans are too stupid to truly evaluate whether years of gathered climate data is real or manufactured. We are to shut up and let our betters in white coats and at the U.N. design sadistic carbon-cutting policies that require us to march back in time to live like pathetic urchins in a Dickens novel. To contradict this dogma is sacrilege. And that is the real point.
Climate change has evolved into the central dogma of the eco-religion. Unlike religions stemming from the Judeo/Christian tradition – that are scrupulously removed from the public square by our political and legal institutions –the opposite holds true for the eco-religion. Government of the people, by the people, for the people, is a hateful impediment to the new religion and it won’t be tolerated.
President Obama’s presence in Copenhagen signals his distrust of our political traditions, built on the consent of the governed, in favor of Gore and his high priests – who wish to subject every man, woman and child on Earth to the dictates of a new religion built on a foundation of fraud.
