re: #145 Cato the Elder

I know it’s not, but eco-hysteria is not helping.

A guy who wants to build a biomass power-plant near where I live got death threats from an ecofreak the other day, because his technology involves burning shit and not just wind or solar. Never mind if it’s cleaner than what we’ve got. Burning shit is baddie-bad.

The police are investigating.

OK look, I am not an eco-freak, neither is the legitimate scientific community.

The hysteria of the fringe is not the issue. The issue is that nothing will get done untill the average person wakes up.

People should be alarmed by this. People should get the idea that the consequences are vastly more severe than future generations (or they if they are under 30) will be able to handle.

We need to start acting serious about this yesterday.

I suppose the argument goes like this, in the long run, the pathetic antics of the moonbats that might be inflamed by greater AGW awareness are vastly less dangerous than the effects of doing nothing.

Honestly, sane people should be scared green that nothing is getting done. It is a mark of living in utter denial and a form of insanity that people are not up in arms demanding that the needed changes get made.
