The wages of pseudoscience ("Global Warming!")

VERBATIM POST
========

This is a simply outstanding - and utterly damning - indictment of the current state of Climate "Science". Pass this on to your friends who think that the science is settled. But the carefully reasoned summary of the scientific discussion leads to this:

At least* sceptics do not cover the hills of Scotland with useless, expensive, duke-subsidising wind turbines whose manufacture causes pollution in Inner Mongolia and which kill rare raptors such as this griffon vulture.

At least crop circle believers cannot almost double your electricity bills and increase fuel poverty while driving jobs to Asia, to support their fetish.

At least creationists have not persuaded the BBC that balanced reporting is no longer necessary.

At least homeopaths have not made expensive condensing boilers, which shut down in cold weather, compulsory, as John Prescott did in 2005.

At least astrologers have not driven millions of people into real hunger, perhaps killing 192,000 last year according to one conservative estimate, by diverting 5% of the world’s grain crop into motor fuel*.
That’s why it matters.

Yeah, this matters. Lives are literally at stake; the environment is literally at stake, the world is in terrible danger of being ruined.

By environmentalists.

Man, I wish I'd written this. RTWT.
