To: Eric who wrote (46791 ) 1/26/2014 6:17:39 PM From: Maurice Winn Read Replies (1) | Respond to of 86350 Eric, you are demonstrating why Climate Alarmists made such inroads - most people are bound by check-list, inside the box, stuck in a cliche, hidebound by a slogan, 'thinking'. I have tried explaining check-list thinking to you. But you seem unable to understand it. Checklists are what is called a necessary but not sufficient condition. Fortunately, reality interceded with a 15 year halt in temperature increases just in time to avoid mega$trillions of opm being handed over to the Global Doomsters to reorder society around the world. Now the public has become aware of the game. Somehow, you got the idea that I think checklists are a bad idea. Try to get past that false idea if you can. <You are showing some of the traits of a dangerous pilot. Invulnerability and invincibility. (Accidents don't happen to me, I make perfect decisions.) > On the contrary, I flip flop as necessary, depending on what reality throws up. I'm highly averse to dogmatic thinking, which is the norm in the aviation world which is hidebound and dogmatic. Adopting American culture, [I don't normally do free psychological analysis over the internet but I'll make an exception], that's a case of 'projection'. It's you who are adopting the "I am a big shot important person and what I think goes because my ideas are invulnerable, invincible, right, accepted wisdom, settled science and just shut up and do what I say". That's the Global Alarmist case. They don't do reason. They do "I am right and just shut up and gimme the money. It's too late to dither. Debate is over. The Science is settled. We have to gaol opponents. Quick give us the cash." You are a dangerous Climate and Economic pilot, stuck in the Alarmist checklist. Think beyond the checklist and out of the box. If we adopted your Global Alarmist political agenda, you would crash the global economy and millions of lives into the mountain of climate cant. You need some climate situational awareness. Do the checklist, but think over and beyond it. Fortunately, the passengers have mutinied and retaken the cockpit, like the passengers tried to do on Flight 93. The jihadist pilots had what they thought was a great idea, but the passengers did not agree. They did not want to fly into a building, even if it was full of Global Warming Denialists. Give up the global doom jihad. It's a lost cause. Mqurice
