Why does global warming bring out all the crazy motherfuckers?
I know I already wrote about global warming today. But this is so equally batshit, I had to share it with the Buzznet world.
Global warming really isn't a debatable issue any more, but some people want to insist that it's nothing but a bunch of liberal propaganda. However, this is the first time I've ever heard the issue used to promote Christian fundamentalism.
This isn't the first time a school board has blocked a viewing of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. No surprise. But when a parent objects to the film because they believe global warming is a sign of The Second Coming.........
I have to laugh. Is Jesus' ectoplasm warming up our environment? Maybe his burning heart is raising greenhouse gas emissions. I'd be ready to accept that.
But perhaps it's all the fuckwad Christian fundamentalists with their eyes heaven-bound, unconcerned what happens to people in the real world. (Since, you know, they're going to heaven. What else mattters?) And maybe it's the materialistic Americans who insist that their actions have no effect on our environment as they parade around in their gas-guzzling vehicles, ever-contributing to the inevitable slumber of our Mother Earth.
Nah. It's totally Jesus coming back. Get out your swimsuits! It's gonna be a long summer.

I think the idea is 'this is the second coming, ergo it's gods will, if we try to preserve the planet it's against god'. To quote Bakunin (twisting Voltaire) "If God existed it would be necessary to kill him."
And as you said, the debate is pretty much won, what are the "other perspectives" that need to be shown? The economists'? The SUV drivers'?
