President Obama\u2019s Science Czar John Holdren is worried about global warming. Having noticed that there hasn\u2019t actually been any global warming since 1998, he feels it ought to be called \u201cglobal climate disruption\u201d instead. That way whether it gets warmer or colder, wetter or drier, less climatically eventful or more climatically eventful, the result will be the same: it can all be put down to \u201cglobal climate disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that will be good, because it will give Holdren the excuse to introduce all the draconian measures he has long believed necessary if \u201cglobal climate disruption\u201d is to be averted: viz, state-enforced population control; a rewriting of the legal code so that trees are able to sue people; and the wholesale destruction of the US economy (\u201cde-development\u201d as he put it in the 1973 eco-fascist textbook he co-wrote Paul and Anne Ehrlich Human Ecology: Global Problems And Solutions<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Holdren is not the only person having problems with the \u201cworld not warming and everyone growing increasingly sceptical\u201d issue. So too is Dave \u201cGrocer\u201d Cameron\u2019s excuse for a government. Its solution? Work out ways of brainwashing the populace with state-funded propaganda.<\/p>\n
