    Default Climate Change And The Ten Warning Signs For Cults

    .

    I couldn't put it better myself, this guy really nails it!!


    Have you thought to yourself that the Climate Change movement seems more and more like a religious movement?

    I have, so I researched how to identify a religious cult. Rick Ross, an expert on cults and intervention specialist, developed a list of ten warning signs for unsafe groups, which is published by the Cult Education Institute.

    So let’s take a look at all ten signs and compare:

    1. Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.


    The leading advocates of the Climate Change movement are politicians, entertainers, and even children.

    Climate preachers such as Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio lack any formal scientific training whatsoever and live personal lives of unparalleled luxury while prescribing carbon austerity for the masses.

    Yet no one is permitted to point out their scientific ignorance or call attention to their hypocritical lifestyles.

    Child advocates such as Greta Thunberg and the crudely indoctrinated children of the “Sunrise movement” are essentially sock puppets for their shameless activist handlers.

    Refuse to bend the knee to these tiny fascists, as Diane Feinstein most recently did, and the mainstream left will relentlessly attack you as an accessory to mass murder.

    The authority of Climate Change leaders is entirely unmerited and absolute, yet no one is permitted to hold them accountable for their ignorance, inexperience, or brazen lies.

    Thus, the Climate Change movement clearly meets the first warning sign for unsafe groups.

    2. No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.

    The conclusions of the Climate Change movement may not be challenged or questioned under any circumstances.

    Those who dare scrutinize the conclusions, methodology, or prescriptions of “climate scientists” are categorically dismissed as a “Climate Denier”, an excommunicated untouchable whose opinion is no longer valid on any subject.

    Questions and critical inquiry aren’t merely dismissed or refuted.

    The unfortunate heretic immediately experiences a relentless ad hominem onslaught of scorn and hatred from the political and media left and is often subjected to accusations of outright murder. Simply question the effectiveness of a “carbon tax” and you may find yourself tied to a stake.

    There is no tolerance for questioning the Climate Change movement, and thus it clearly meets the second warning sign for unsafe groups.

    3. No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement.

    Hardly anyone knows just how much money is spent on “Climate research” every year.

    The cost is spread out among laughably useless study grants, wind and solar farm subsidies, carbon offset credits, “green” building code evaluation and enforcement, salaries for bureaucrats solely dedicated to “climate concerns”—you get the idea, it’s a lot of hazy money.

    The abhorrent practice of “sue and settle” was a flat out money laundering scheme that allowed sympathetic government officials to transfer millions of tax dollars to radical leftist environmental groups.

    The practice only ended when the Trump administration used executive power to clamp down on it.

    The total amount of yearly financial expenditure on the Climate Change movement is vague, difficult to track, and often carried out in unethical manners. Thus, the Climate Change movement exhibits the third warning sign for unsafe groups.

    4. Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies, and persecutions.

    This one is pretty obvious. The Climate Change movement always shouts out revised and updated apocalypse predictions, eerily reminiscent of the stereotypical bum on the sidewalk with that “The End Is Near” sign.

    “The world will end in X years if we don’t do X” is the constant refrain.

    The years always pass, and the apocalypse never happens.Interestingly, this is a characteristic of multiple religious cults (such as the Seekers of Chicago, and the Order of the Solar Temple).

    At the moment, we apparently have 12 years to nationalize the entire economy and phase out fossil fuels before we all die a fiery death.

    There’s also no shortage of conspiracy theories about who is the Earth’s greatest saboteurs. They have an enemies list.

    The fossil fuel industry is at the top of it, with widespread tinfoil hat theories about oil companies burying patents for efficient renewable fuel recipes to keep us all guzzling gasoline.

    The “repent or burn” doomsday preaching is the most well-known staple of the Climate Change movement, and quite clearly exemplifies the fourth warning sign for unsafe groups.

    5. There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.

    Climate alarmists who leave, step back from, or even lightly criticize the movement are immediately subjected to vicious smear campaigns.

    Dutch professor Richard Tol experienced this phenomenon firsthand when he removed his name from an IPCC climate report and criticized the reports excessively apocalyptic predictions.

    The smear campaign was led by Bob Ward, director of policy at the London School of Economics’ Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change.

    ‘This has all the characteristics of a smear campaign,” Tol said. “It’s all about taking away my credibility as an expert.”

    The treatment of Professor Tol is not uncommon and clearly demonstrates that the Climate Change movement exhibits the fifth warning sign for unsafe groups.

    6. Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.

    Professor Tol is not an anomaly. Dr. Richard Lindzen of MIT, Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner, and countless other former IPCC in-crowd climate experts were subjected to smear campaigns from their colleagues and the news media for the crime of throwing cold water on the outlandish predictions of the Climate Change movement.

    This pattern is all too familiar to anyone who has studied what happens to individuals who leave the Church of Scientology and clearly meets the sixth warning sign for unsafe groups.

    7. There are records, books, news articles, or television programs that document the abuses of the group/leader.

    The abuses of the Climate Change movement are loud and proud. They vociferously attack their perceived enemies for public consumption and are cheered on by fellow travelers in the journalism class.

    Most recently they brainwashed a bunch of kids and marched them into an octogenarian Democrat Senator’s office to beg not to be murdered by a ‘No’ vote on impossible legislation.

    These tantrums and protests aren’t only meant to rally supporters of the Climate Change movement. They are a form of intimidation, a tactic used to silence those who question the gospel.

    There is ample evidence that the Climate Change movement meets the seventh warning sign of an unsafe group.

    8. Followers feel they can never be “good enough”.

    The atonement process for Climate warriors always demands more. It started with using a recycling bin and grocery bags.

    Now, in 2019, being a good follower means imposing veganism on the masses and issuing fatwahs against innocuous objects such as plastic straws and grocery bags.

    Despite all the efforts of the faithful, Climate minions maintain a constant state of dread and despair, knowing they can never truly do enough to stop the coming doom.

    Clearly, the eighth warning sign for unsafe groups applies to the Climate Change movement.

    9. The group/leader is always right.

    When have the climate leaders been called wrong for their failed predictions? Regardless of the weather, they are always intrinsically correct.

    Floods? Climate Change. Droughts? Climate Change.

    No Snow? Climate Change. Too much snow? Climate Change.

    Tornados? Climate Change. Hurricanes? Climate Change. Lack of hurricanes? Climate Change.

    See how this works?

    One of the best aspects of the movement is “weather is climate until it isn’t.” The acolytes of Climate Change will point out the window in a heat wave and say, “See? We’re right!”

    If a skeptic points out the window during a blizzard, the same acolytes will simply cry “Weather isn’t climate!” It’s a game they can never lose, one in which they are never wrong and always right.

    Thus, the ninth warning sign for unsafe groups clearly applies.

    10. The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing “truth” or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.

    The path to discovery for the Climate Change movement is an intentionally vague discipline referred to as “climate science”.

    Did you carry out a study on gender and glaciers? Climate Science.

    Did you think up the worst possible scenarios that have no actual chance of happening (an actual portion of the latest National Climate Assessment)? Climate Science.

    And the high priest Al Gore
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    You do a nice job of skewering the Faithful, I must say.

    Cult following is something not always in favor with mainstream, but has it's followers. For example, the older Nintendo systems have a cult following. I've actually got back into my N64 I found in storage. The new Star Wars stuff sucks, and was craving some of the good ones. I will never go to his trashy sites, but am guessing this isn't what it says. It's probably trying to compare the majority of Scientists, and those that follow it as a cult. It would actually be the other way around.

    It absolutely is a religious movement.

    All religions have one thing in common. It is what makes them religions. They are all based on some initial circular argument, then extend arguments from that initial one. This is not in itself a fallacy. The other word for the circular argument is 'faith'.

    The circular argument fallacy is not the circular argument itself, it is the failure to recognize the circular nature of the argument and attempt to prove something with it. This is what a fundamentalist does. There are fundamentalists in every religion. Some religions are themselves fundamentalist in nature.

    The Church of Global Warming is a fundamentalist church. The very phrases 'global warming' or 'climate change' have no meaning. They can only be defined by themselves. Yet these two phrases are used by the Church of Global Warming as a proof of the truthfulness of their religion.

    Even if we could somehow measure the temperature of the Earth (we can't), there is nothing to indicate why it might be warming, cooling, or just staying the same. The Church of Global Warming simply assumes it is because of Magick Holy Gases in the atmosphere, then build disaster scenarios from that.

    The 'greenhouse gas' model cannot work with present theories of science, namely the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics, and the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

    This model attempts to create additional energy out of nothing but a Magick Holy Gas. They simply assume the Earth is warming due to the presence of this gas. A warmer Earth means it has more energy. Nowhere do they describe where this additional energy is coming from.

    Another favorite argument is that a Magick Holy Gas can somehow heat the surface, even though the gas is colder than the surface. This is attempting to heat a warmer object using a colder one. This violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics by making heat flow backwards.

    The Stefan-Boltzmann law relates temperature to radiance. It applies to all bodies, not just ideal ones. Air is a body, just as the Earth is. According to Kirchoff's law, you simply combine the result into a whole Earth by summing it. In order to increase the temperature of the Earth, you MUST have greater radiance. The Church of Global Warming assigns a Magick Holy Gas to reduce radiance and warm the Earth at the same time. This is not possible. Reduced radiance means the Earth is cooler, not warmer. They dance around this problem by again violating the 1st law of thermodynamics where they utterly destroy energy, usually by claiming there is some sort of sequence involved where the Stefan-Boltzmann law is suspended for a time.

    In other words, the Church of Global Warming openly denies these three theories of science, whatever they may claim. They are lying to themselves as well as others as they deny these three theories of science. Such is the course of a fundamentalist religion.

    It is worse than cult worship. It is attempting to become the State religion.
