Global Warming As A Form Of Mental Illness
Posted on May 14, 2012 by stevengoddard
The hockey team has turned on Martin Hoerling, for telling the truth. No surprise, because their funding and prestige depends on maintaining the big lie.
What is interesting is the reaction of the global warming groupies, like those who frequent Andy Revkin’s site. They are convinced that Hoerling must be wrong, because he isn’t saying anything scary. These people seem to have a deep seated psychological need to :
- believe that a disaster is about to occur
- blame others for the impending disaster
- believe that anyone who disagrees with them is evil, and wants to create the disaster
- feel guilty about their role in the impending disaster
They don’t actually believe that they can do anything to stop the impending disaster, but they still believe it is important to feel bad about it, spread anger, and tell others to make gestures of sacrifice.
Additionally, they find evidence of the impending disaster everywhere they look. A warm spring day, a cold winter day, a warm winter day, a hot summer day. All evidence that their fears are justified.
Sounds like a loose combination of hypochondria, paranoia and schizophrenia. In other words – full blown loons.
