Anthropogenic Global Warming Crisis = Anti-Science

Don't believe me...? Listen to one of the cult's head oracles:

Self-evidently dangerous climate change will not emerge from a normal scientific process of truth seeking, although science will gain some insights into the question if it recognises the socially contingent dimensions of a post-normal science. But to proffer such insights, scientists - and politicians - must trade (normal) truth for influence. If scientists want to remain listened to, to bear influence on policy, they must recognise the social limits of their truth seeking and reveal fully the values and beliefs they bring to their scientific activity.

So, scientists "...must recognise the social limits of their truth seeking and reveal fully the values and beliefs they bring to their scientific activity."

Hey, let's all trade truth for influence! Everybody's doing it.

Welcome back to the Dark Ages, my friends.

BEDEVERE:
And what do you burn apart from
witches?
VILLAGER #1:
More witches!
VILLAGER #3:
Shh!
VILLAGER #2:
Wood!
BEDEVERE:
So, why do witches burn?
[pause]
VILLAGER #3:
B--... 'cause they're made of... wood?
BEDEVERE:
Good! Heh heh.
CROWD:
Oh,
yeah. Oh.
BEDEVERE:
So, how do we tell whether she is made
of wood?
VILLAGER #1:
Build a bridge out of her.
BEDEVERE:
Ah, but can
you not also make bridges out of stone?
VILLAGER #1:
Oh, yeah.
RANDOM:
Oh, yeah. True. Uhh...
BEDEVERE:
Does wood sink in water?
VILLAGER
#1:
No. No.
VILLAGER #2:
No, it floats! It floats!
VILLAGER #1:
Throw her into the pond!
CROWD:
The pond! Throw her into the pond!
BEDEVERE:
What also floats in water?
VILLAGER #1:
Bread!
VILLAGER #2:
Apples!
VILLAGER #3:
Uh, very small rocks!
VILLAGER #1:
Cider!
VILLAGER #2:
Uh, gra-- gravy!
VILLAGER #1:
Cherries!
VILLAGER #2:
Mud!
VILLAGER #3:
Uh, churches! Churches!
VILLAGER #2:
Lead! Lead!
ARTHUR:
A duck!
CROWD:
Oooh.
BEDEVERE:
Exactly. So,
logically...
VILLAGER #1:
If... she... weighs... the same as a duck,...
she's made of wood.
BEDEVERE:
And therefore?
VILLAGER #2:
A
witch!

And So It Begins

It just touches my heart. Our betters love our money us so much and know what's best for us. I'm sure that every dollar will be put into a reserved account and used only for smoking cessation programs and to deal with tobacco related health care costs.

Thank you for taking care of us. I for one welcome our new Democrat overlords.

Mr. Kerry: "Do you think this should matter to me?" Mr. Fox: "I'm sorry?"
Mr. Kerry: "Do you think this should matter to me?" Mr. Fox: "Yes, I do, I do."
Mr. Kerry: "Do you think it should matter to everybody here, as a Senator?"

What an ass.
