Idiots want to wield scientifically-validated moral indignation too. It is rude and impolite to point out that this alone is insufficient justification for their proposed revisions to our civilization.  Being lorded over by the very same kind of people that just knew that the sun revolved around the earth, is maddening. Suffering their appropriation of the hard-earned credibility of the Scientific Method to advance their anti-rational Environmentalist Religion is an unforgivable affront. Knowing we are lucky to be living through an interglacial warming period is tantamount to heresy, and will be punished accordingly (to encourage the others.) The idea that warming oceans cause higher atmospheric carbon dioxide, instead of the other way around, is "unthinkable", and certain to result in you being handed the cup of hemlock. This is 300 years ago. The conceit of our perfected collective reason as illusory as ever.
