“Environmentalism
is an urban religion
disconnected from nature,
or rural life, or the realities
of food and mineral production.
This environmental religion
is terrified of doubt, skepticism
and uncertainty yet claims
to be underpinned by science.
… Like many
fundamentalist religions,
it attracts believers
by announcing
apocalyptic calamities
unless we change
our ways.
… Logic, questioning
or contrary data
are not permitted.”
Professor Ian Plimer

in bemused amazement,
that the early twenty-first
century’s developed world,
went into a hysterical panic,
over a globally averaged
temperature increase,
of a few tenths of a degree,
and, on the basis of
gross exaggerations,
of highly uncertain
computer projections,
combined into implausible
chains of inference,
proceeded to contemplate
a roll-back of the industrial age.”
