Enemy of Western Civ: The Boston Globe

Well, most of us have known that the Boston Globe is one of the more dangerous forces working to undermine and ultimately destroy Western Civilization. This ridiculous column by Ellen Badman is a perfect example: No change in political climate. (Hat tip: Drudge Report)

Excerpt:

"By every measure, the U N 's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change raises the level of alarm. The fact of global warming is 'unequivocal.' The certainty of the human role is now somewhere over 90 percent. Which is about as certain as scientists ever get.

I would like to say we're at a point where global warming is impossible to deny. Let's just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers, though one denies the past and the other denies the present and future.

But light bulbs aside -- I now have three and counting -- I don't expect that this report will set off some vast political uprising. The sorry fact is that the rising world thermometer hasn't translated into political climate change in America."

I don't normally comment on excerpts, but the idiot who wrote this column is just begging for the Right Hand of Rationality to slap her across the face, maybe several times.

Equating the denial of global warming with the denial of the holocaust is what you would call 'overheated rhetoric.' As a matter of fact, a column like this could melt all the worlds glaciers all by itself.

But to compound the stupidity, the columnist wonders why politicians aren't taking it more SERIOUSLY! Why isn't GLOBAL WARMING the most important single issue in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE??? What's wrong with these people?

Maybe, it's just because there is no evidence for global warming...none what so ever. Maybe it's just because JUNK science is not the same thing as empirical science, where things have to be observed and measured before they are accepted as truth. Maybe it's because only the most loony left-wing politician (paging Al Gore...) would want to DESTROY the American economy so as to reduce our "carbon footprint" in order to avoid a catastrophe which only exists in highly questionable computer simulations.

How can they even allow this stuff to be printed? What sort of Kool-Aid drinking lemmings do they have running the editorial board of the Boston Globe? Must be the same crowd that works for Mother Jones.
