  1. How about “EcoStalinism”? Stalin had freakin’ architects executed for not falling in line with his “revolution from above”.

  2. This is one place where a knowledge of history by this advocate would be useful. In Stalinist systems, like the one this guy hopes for, those who want to see others “jailed or executed” inevitably end up in a class deemed “enemies of the people.” These narcissists always think that they are so special that it won’t happen to them, this time.

    These people don’t realize that their troublemaking is useful only when their masters are out of power. Once their their masters aims have been achieved, troublemakers have this disturbing habit of actually believing what they were told, and get upset when it doesn’t happen NOW! (Look at The Magic Teleprompter and the reactions to His decision to have Guantanamo stay open). So best to eliminate these people once they are no longer needed and before then can turn on their masters.

  3. Looks like this Talking Points post was put up right after the ABC special “Earth 2100” aired. (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/Earth2100)

    I caught a few minutes of it — typical doom-and-gloom garbage, much like what I remember from the late-60’s early-70’s period, which scared me in my youth with tall tales of how bad things would be by 1990 or 2000 or so.

    Wouldn’t it be great to have equal time and money devoted to a 2-hour primetime special in which we see doom and disaster caused in the 21st century by ignorantly submitting to Green fascism?

  5. What would really bring ’em out of the woodwork would be a 2-hour primetime special about how good life will be — in, say, 2050 — thanks to technology. Heads would be exploding as far as the eye can see …

  7. How about a bet? Pick some measure of climate change — sea level rise, global average temp, number of hurricanes per year, whatever, and let passionate advocates for both sides make bets. What will this number be in 20 years, if X is done and Y is not done, et cetera?

    You win, you get $1 million. You lose, you get your head cut off.

    People are a lot more cautious and sensible about how much they believe their own prognostications when their personal wealth and well-being is at stake, whereas they feel free to flame wildly when it’s only other people’s wealth and well-being put to risk. Despicable behaviour by me.

  8. This is the limousine liberal thing. You have the rich movie star so some other rich parson (Barbara Streisand, Al Gore) who live in their big mansions, drive expensive luxury cars, maybe even have private jets fly them around, then prattle on about how people need to accept a reduced standard of living in order to save the planet. There is a huge disconnect between the lavish life styles of these people and what they claim to believe in.

    Is this classic narcissistic personality disorder? Or are these people fully aware of the disconnect between what they say and do and that they are really trying to do is to create a new feudal system with them on top?

    These are the only two explanations I can think of. Can anyone here offer any others?

  9. Yes eco-fascists, please come and try and put me into the eco-gulag.

    Pardon me if I am not home when you arrive and pardon me if I am elsewhere making plans and taking actions that will *ahem* ‘complicate’ your plans……

    May the eco-fascists find the countryside turning into one peoples republic of ‘pineland’ after another before their very eyes!

  12. Ask yourself, who benefits by giving an entire generation of first-world children a herd mentality? Who benefits from things like Kyoto? (if you said “the environment”, bzzzt) Who benefits from the carbon-cap marketplace?

    It sure ain’t anyone who believes in the scientific method. And it sure as hell ain’t libertarians.
