#1 Nothing to do with climate, everything to do with power.

#3 I am struck by the parallels to Lysenkoism.

Lysenkoism caused serious, long-term harm to Soviet biology. It represented a serious failure of the early Soviet leadership to find real solutions to agricultural problems, allowing their system to be hijacked by a charlatan — at the expense of many human lives. Lysenkoism also spread to China, where it continued long after it was eventually denounced by the Soviets.

#4 Good observation, Phil_B. Years ago, I read the book, The Rise and Fall of TD Lysenko, by Zhores Medvedev. It shows what happens when your political leader gets a nutbag with pseudo-science ideas and applies them to the real world.

The Big O is following in the footsteps of Stalin.

#5 As I said on previous occasions---I'm going to make sure my son learns Chinese.

#11 Wasn't Lysenko that had some really whacko ideas about aggriculture and nearly starved the USSR and PRC to death? Crops comingling in harmony or something like that? Just wait until the first state collective farm opens.

#12 Hey, no fair phil_b and AP - I've been using the Lysenkoism analogy for a long time. Producing, among the clueless, the usual response: huh? who was that? huh?

Some day, some clandestine researcher may define the tipping point of our civilization into mediocrity and worse was when ignorance, mis-education, and mass disinformation reached the point where people couldn't even understand sarcasm directed at the reigning insanities of the day.

#13 Cyber Sarge: I have complete faith in the ability of the Soviet Union and China to have starved people to death even in the complete absense of people like Lysenko.

#14 Lysenkoism = Lamarckism = inheritance of acquired characteristics. link

This works for the evolution of cultures and memes, but not for the evolution of animals and plants.

#16 Al Gore reminds me of the L. Ron Hubbard comment that if one wants to become rich, they need to start their own religion. Al may not have started the Global Warming cult, but he has become wealthy peddling its dogma. Not bad for a person whose only marketable asset was being a senator's namesake.

#17 Don't unnerstan the comments. Gore is right - it will lead to "Global Governance". Whether or not that's an unmitigated disaster is left to the student as an exercise.

#18 There is a terrible movie called Idiocracy. It unfortunately fits with what is happening to our society right now. Watch the first five minutes, then throw it away. In the movie a WWF guy is president. With Al Frankin and Jesse Ventura in Minnesota we are not far from living this movie.

#19 Its worse 49 - at least a WWF president would know how to fight (or at least look like he's fighting :).

Our current CIC looks to be only good for apologizing.... Oh and preening for the cameras.

#20 [Editor's Note: Many critics have often charged that proposed climate tax and regulatory “solutions” were more important to the promoters of man-made climate fears than the accuracy of their science. Former Colorado Senator Tim Wirth reportedly said, "We've got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing — in terms of economic policy and environmental policy."]
