Heliogenic Climate Change: Carbon cult sacrifices Navajos to Gaia

In 2005, environmentalists successfully closed the Mojave Generating station in Laughlin, NV after a pollution lawsuit. That shutdown cost the tribe more than $6.5 million per year, and closure of the Navajo Generating Station would wipe out another $11 million. (2)

At this point in time the Navajos would be much better off if they were located in Europe or Asia. Europe, which has led the way in implementing Kyoto Protocol accords will have 40 new coal-fired power plants by 2015. Germany plans to build 27 coal-fired electrical generating plants by 2020 and Italy plans to double its reliance on coal in just five years. (3)

Activist Hubris: "We've basically got the whole world organised"

A rule of war is turning the hearts and minds of the most vulnerable and convincing them your cause is right. It's about creating apostates of rational thinking.

The American people seem to understand that the threat of possible global warming is far less of a concern than having a job and being able to put food on the table and heat their homes. Apparently this is not the case with many politicians in Washington...

The Tyee — Why Are Oddballs Like [Monckton] Winning?

Many people seemed fixated more on nitpicking their allies than outwardly raging at the smiling shysters winning the messaging war.

Likewise, the scientific community seems to ignore the likes of Monckton, leaving the field wide open for him to say whatever he wants, and boldly claim that no one wants to debate him because they are scared of him. It is like watching your big brother in high school get his ass kicked by a nine-year-old.

If we can't even get beyond our sanctimony to dialogue effectively within peer group, what hope do we have to effectively reach out to those we have less in common with? Unless the "left" can realize quickly that the real battle for public opinion is being waged, and lost, outside our own small political bubble, I fear the planet is in big trouble.
