Why are so many scientists and climatologists being routinely dismissed as heretics when they oppose the “establishment” regarding anthropogenic global warming? The question raises two very interesting issues. While the Baby Boomers are the ones mostly responsible for the battle being waged over global warming, it is contrary to the belief systems of their youth.
For instance, the Boomer movement was all about fighting the establishment. “Damn the Man”. Funny how life works out, isn’t it? But there is another glaring contradiction in their philosophy that adds to the bi-polar nature of their crusades, and that is the self-adversarial conflict which will be hard to reconcile once people begin to really pay attention.
Before global warming took on such a prominent role in the arena of “worthy causes”, there was and still is the age-old battle cry to energize the now-wobbly kneed; “The Rich and the Evils of Capitalism”. Here’s where the paths diverge.

Carbon credits are soon to be a hot (pardon the pun) commodity. Well, well, well. So it would seem the anti-establishment Boomers have found a way to get rich quick afterall, something they viewed with utter disdain in their youth. To make matters worse, they seem not the slightest bit queasy about scaring the bejeebers out of people to do it. Nor do they seem at concerned about what it will do to world economies in the process, and ultimately, The Poor, whom they claim to care deeply about.
I’m beginning to believe in the old axiom: “Give ‘em enough rope, and they’ll hang themselves”. The true agenda has shown its face. All people have to do is look.
