Michael Crichton is definitely a man of vision. Why bask in the sunny reflection off the imported mountain spring ripples of Lee Raymond’s diamond-encrusted swimming pool, when you can go off the deep end?
An article in Mother Jones from just under a year ago details the many think tanks, disinformation crews and shifty individuals profiting from the game of climate change denial (mostly courtesy of fat checks from ExxonMobil.) As I read it, a description of a lunchtime chat Michael Crichton gave for the American Enterprise Institute caught my attention.
During the question-and-answer period following his speech, Crichton drew an analogy between believers in global warming and Nazi eugenicists. “Auschwitz exists because of politicized science,” Crichton asserted, to gasps from some in the crowd.
Wow. Mr. Crichton, you are a brave soul. Few people are courageous enough to speak the truth about the environmental movement.
We’re not trying to save the panda. We’re trying to breed a race of überpandas, to enslave the inferior humans and force them to subsist on Tofu Pups and Jamba juice while building vast castles of bamboo for our Panda Overlords. Our Emperor Su Lin (translation: A Little Bit Of Something Very Cute) has already infiltrated the San Diego Zoo. The intricate plan is in motion – soon, through a diabolically clever and completely logic-and-common-sense-defying set of circumstances, the measures people take to conserve energy will cause them to slide down the slippery tunnel into Greenpeace’s Eco-Fascist Totalitarian Vegetarian Terrorist Feminist Red Commie Bastard Womb. Sieg Heil, Emperor A Little Bit Of Something Very Cute!
