Is AGW just the latest pretext for socialism? %26quot;The answer to global warming is in the abolition of private property and production for human need. A socialist world would place an enormous priority on alternative energy sources. This is what ecologically-minded socialists have been exploring for quite some time now.%26quot;
- Louis Proyect, Columbia University

%26quot; We%26#039;ve got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing -- in terms of economic socialism and environmental policy.%26quot;
- Timothy Wirth, former U.S. Senator (D-Colorado)

%26quot;The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed -- and hence clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.%26quot;
- H. L. Mencken

%26quot;No matter if the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits.... climate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world.%26quot;
- Christine Stewart, Canadian Environment Minister

“I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is mass psychology. . . . Various results will soon be arrived at: that the influence of home is obstructive. . . . Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen. . . . Educational propaganda, with government help, could achieve this result in a generation. There are, however, two powerful forces opposed to such a policy: one is religion; the other is nationalism. . . . A scientific world society cannot be stable unless there is a world government.”


- Bertrand Russell , 1953.

• No… but is ignoring science, having a complete disregard for the lives and well beings of others, corporatism, and %26quot;red-baiting%26quot; a pretext for fascism?
• I don%26#039;t know...socialism at least sounds like it helps the %26quot;little people.%26quot; This scheme does the opposite.
