I think he’s [a] talented peddler of end-of-world scenarios, but this time he really went way too far. This should be seen as an embarrassment to science.
My reply:
P Gosselin, I agree with the thrust of your comment, but I diverge from it by a nuance as you write “this time he really went way too far”. My impression is that this trusted advisor to the Pope and A. Merkel has always been going way too far. Express claims and insinuations of apocalyptic consequences from AGW have been the mendacious and irresponsible norm with global warming activists of his ilk. We have been bombarded with this for decades. The whole scam is based on the omnipresence of dystopian threats and end-of-the-world scenarios in the media that seep into the mind of the hapless political consumer. What drives the political preponderance of the AGW-meme is not science but its fear-instilling narrative, just the thing politicians need to control the masses, according to Goehring [sic], who is reported to have confided: “Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked [by the threat of AGW] and denounce the pacifists [skeptics] for lack of patriotism [compliance with alarmism] and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
