Cuckoo In Cancun
|
December 07 2010
Still think those who continue to push the idea of man-made climate change are well-grounded and rational? Think again.
Consider Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. She opened the U.N's global warming conference last week with a prayer to Ixchel, the Mayan goddess of the moon.
This mythological supreme being of fertility is supposed to be good for sending rain for crops. Maybe that's the sort of blessing Figueres had in mind when, from Cancun's — no joke — Moon Palace, she called Ixchel "the goddess of reason, creativity and weaving" and hoped delegates would be inspired by her.
And did we mention that the multitasking Ixchel is also some kind of jaguar? Given her many roles, is it really reasonable to ask her to also save the planet from global warming?
But then if she did that, the alarmists wouldn't have to take junkets to balmy resorts in December to save the world from mankind.
One might think the climate change conference silliness would have a limit. But one would be wrong.
A week into the proceedings, the Sacramento Bee published a column by Wangari Maathai, winner of the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize. Her topic? Negotiations at the global climate meeting, she believes, "should be an opportunity for empowering women."
Moving on, we find a professor from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine who wants to use the summit to fight obesity. Fossil fuel energy, says Ian Roberts, is causing the world to get hotter, and fatter. How? As the British Telegraph reports, Roberts believes the use of cars and other fossil-fuel-using machines has made us all fatter.
Maybe Roberts should have taken his fight against obesity to summit delegates, as well. They threw themselves a party on the first night that was bursting with food, adult beverages and pinatas.
Did any give even a fleeting thought as to how their outsized carbon footprints would affect their waistlines?
Did a single one look at the virtually unlimited bounty before them and recognize the hypocrisy of promoting rationing in the developed world to cut carbon emissions?
Lest you think there's been no serious work done, Bolivia is using the summit to bring up — again — its idea for an International Tribunal for Climate Justice to prosecute "ecocide" — defined as a crime against an ecosystem "to such an extent that peaceful enjoyment by the inhabitants of that territory has been severely diminished."
"Supporters of a new ecocide law," the British Guardian reported in April, "believe it could be used to prosecute" the "climate deniers" who "distort science and facts to discourage voters and politicians from taking action to tackle global warming."
The hinges that are supposed to anchor these people to reality are quite obviously missing. There's more clear thinking at the typical UFO convention, tin hats and all, than at any global warming conference — including this year's big party on the beach.

I wonder if diminishing ones environment with wind turbines that cause noise pollution and kill endangered birds a crime against the ecosystem? It seems to fit the description.
Ah well, what else would you expect to find at the "Moon Palace" other than moonbats? Or Monbiots as they say in France.
They "pray" to a "god" or "goddess" who is an animal? They go crazy if one mentions Jesus Christ or Jehovah! But they can pray to "Ixchel" the "moon goddess" or the "jaguar goddess"? There is no end to the stupidity of these people. They deny the idea of the Christian Creator God as "silly or mythical", yet they "pray" to a Mythical Mayan "goddess"? How can they pray to one myth and scoff at Jehovah as a "Christian Myth"? If they scoff at Jehovah how does one give any weight to the their mythical "goddess"? There is not one sane person in the bunch!
And they call ME crazy.

I take issue with your association of UFO "enthusiasts" with your "tin hat" reference. I assume this odd reference was to "aluminum foil hats," but was sent off track by one of the old sayings involving the tin horns once used by the hard of hearing. (i.e. Harder then shitting through a tin horn)Or perhaps you're an old geezer who remembers tin foil.
We, those of us who use aluminum foil hats to prevent our minds from being read or controlled by hostile entities, know of the efficacy of our devices. While UFO true believers, having no hard evidence, need misplaced faith to keep their wild belief system from collapsing into a consonant dissonance abyss. To be lumped with this fanciful group of losers irritates us freethinkers who demand evidence for the foundation of our beliefs.
Perhaps, if you were to try a foil hat out for a while,(shiny side out for maximum intrusive mind control resistance, shiny side in to prevent mindreading) you might not mangle your metaphors, as badly. Or it may be too late and you are already part of the zombie army controlled by the Secret Overlords. Enjoy. John P.S. The first time you wear your hat in public, you'll notice the disapproval of the Overlord's minions at your "vaccinated" state. Stay strong, but vigilant. You're on the way to being free.
