Dr. Isaac dissects the motivations and tactics of the leading roosters of the global warming campaign and finds they have much in common with members of the Xhosa tribe in what is now South Africa. In 1856, the tribe destroyed its cattle and ceased planting crops based on the apocalyptic prophecies of a 15-year-old girl.
