Dang it. Our deal didn't work? Should have left Poseidon an extra goat.
Do these people realize how backward they sound?
hah hah there is nothing even remotely resembling "realization" going on in the ecoparanoia movement. A greater menagerie of "useful idiots" you will not easily find anywhere. They are only of two varieties - people who know or suspect that AGW is complete BS but don't care and (2) people who have absolutely no grasp of physical geographical science (climatology) and get all of their opinions second hand from others in the first group and rescript them without comprehension most often resorting to "credentialism" as the basis for their opinions.
I always point this out to them when I "debate" them on comments sections or forums - the fact that none of them have any remote understanding of science and that they are proposing nothing less than "controlling the average climatic temperature like a thermostat".
I had one ignoramus respond that this was not true, and I pointed out that by taking action to reduce warming, if those measures were effective then they would presumably be able to reverse the process and restore the warming if things started getting too cold - exactly like adjusting a thermostat. The only other possibility was that they were endeavoring to cause the temperature to drop in an uncontrolled way that was irreversible, and therefore engaging in something that might just as easily propel the planet into an Ice Age as bring it into the ideal range that they had arbitrarily selected.
At that point, the AGW fanatic reverted to form and began intense vituperation, insults and vociferous complaining about everything and everything else - which I also pointed out to him/her and that this was always the default position of abysmally ignorant, childishly Cyclopian AGW ecoparanoids who cannot reason their way out of a wet paper sack.
