  1. There is nothing more comical (or dangerous) than a zealot protecting their debunked belief systems. They have no substantive spirituality, no true humanism, just their political cause and its fallible notions. Never challenge this with fact or reality or you will find yourself frog-walked into a fascist solution to “Your” problem of citing embarrassing truths.
    My apologies to Godwin and his law, but we all know who burned books – the shocking part of this is that when Lefty does it, he does it with absolute clear conscience and not a glimmer of the hypocrisy or danger of “progressives” acting so regressively – a sort of philosophical psychopathy

  2. I just ordered a copy of the book from amazon.ca. Take that, you jerks!

  3. Burning books because you hate/fear the ideas they contain is pathetic. The news stories of elderly Britons burning books to stay warm because of government/activist induced fuel poverty is tragic. Academics need to get out more and observe the real-world affects of their beliefs.

  4. Pictures of brushfires are on the wall, perhaps they like to disturb themselves daily, but the bookshelf behind them reveals more – they have one of those “For Dummies” books(and they’re not burning that one)

    for a minute there I thought you were pointing your figure at all those religious nut jobs that used to do this sort of thing. But it is all the funnier in that these type of progressives used to denigrate the religious wackos for their book burnings, now they have stolen the nut jobs MO, go figure!!!!

  6. Rather typical behaviour for members of this cult, unfortunately.
    Christine Stewart is a member after all.
    I read that pathetic interview of Al Gore in the Glob and snail, Saturday. Is that sycophant Simpson truly so clueless as to the failure of every one of Big Sl*** Al’s predictions?
    No global warming for 17 years, co2 emissions by man up 40% and still these creeps prattle on about the doom they wish upon all.

  7. I think it was maybe Churchhill who commented:
    “A fanatic is somebody who will not change their mind nor the subject……”

  8. I used to respect scientists. That ended when I learned that too many of today’s scientists conduct studies that end up with findings that parrot the views of the entities funding the research. The East Anglia computer hack job revealed that the Global Warming “scientists” got money from world governments, selectively determined which data to use in their studies — discarding that data which would conflict with their desired findings; they refused to share this data with other scientists seen as non-believers; they selected peers to review their proposed publications from same-thinking scientists; and they refused to let articles opposing their position to be published in scientific magazines. These actions do not follow the very basic scientific method of conducting research. And, their claim that the “science on global warming is settled” is as false as their other lies. No science is settled.

  9. These are pseudo-scientists with a fascist streak. There do dumb to know what book burnings mean.
    It would be funny except they have burned billions along with this book. As well as weakened our Industry.

  10. The whackos you refer to are no different than the ideological zealots (left or right) – both addicted to their narrow dogma and both divorced from the empathy Christian teachings promote.
    BTW – didn’t these religious tyrants burn people as well as books? Oh well, give greenie and Lefty some time, they’ll think up some equivalent to witch burning, they are already hold witch hunts and sham trials.

    I read this and felt a chill go up my spine. Gulags and burning ‘deniers’ in combustion furnaces. Burning ideas is not a big step from burning the humans who have ideas (of their own).

  12. Sadly, in the science biz you have to produce in order to get the grants/etc, in order to put food on the table. Producing boring results from your research will get you nothing but a reason to sell Amway.

  13. You’re linking to Wikipedia? John, you’re just too sophistimicated for us’all.
    By the by, how do you feel about book burning?

  14. john said: “…all we are talking about here is conserving more energy and finding new sources of cleaner power.”
    john, I was talking to a salesman at G.C. Duke on Friday. They sell big lawnmowers. The kind that golf courses and municipalities use to cut large acreages. They’re big and expensive.
    Last year the biggest Jacobsen mower was around $70,000, depending on extras. This year its around $80,000. Ten grand increase, john. Want to know why?
    California regulations on diesel engines. Increased costs of new California compliant diesel engines passed directly on to the end user. That would be you john, the tax payer. Because municipalities have a lot of grass to cut, and they wear out one of those machines in five or six seasons. Next one they buy, WHAMMO, five to ten thousand bucks price jump with no increase in capacity, durability or longevity.
    Improvement in tailpipe emissions? Maybe 2%-5% on a good day. Improvement in fuel consumption? None.
    That’s what we’re actually talking about, john. Multiply that by every industrial machine in North America.
    Incidentally, no one has found any new sources of cleaner power. All they’ve done is scam you into thinking wind and solar are feasible energy sources. They are not.
