Climate Change, Face Book, and Other Nonsense
On the basis of what authority are you entitled to declare all criticism of manmade climate change to be rightwing ideology? I know several people who never got beyond 9th grade general science but are forever sounding off on FB on the idiocy of “conservatives”–by which I think they mean supporters of global capitalism–who deny what all right-thinking men are supposed to know. Of course all right-thinking men once upon a time believed in Phlogiston, spontaneous generation, phrenology, and the possibility of a successful Marxist economy. It is true that we all have opinions, most of them unsubstantiated by any stronger proof than an editorial in the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times or perhaps it was something we misunderstood once back in Music Appreciation 101. That is what ideologies do to the brain, and it scarcely matters if it is the ideology of Al Gore or Alfred Rosenburg. If Mr Henman, so absolutely certain he is on the right side of history (or should I say the left side), thinks he is an expert on climatology, how did he come by his expertise?
