Thou shall have any beliefs thou wishes, so long as disbelief in AGW comes first above all

Thou shall not worship scientists who believe in the false concept of AGW, or hold any representation of them, whether they be textbooks, peer reviewed journals, or any other physical likeness

Thou shall not take the name "Denier" in vain

Remember the day the emails were hacked, and keep it holy

Honor thy Spencer and Monckton

Thou shall not commit Alarmetry by agreeing on any point an Alarmist makes, no matter how benign

Thou shall not bear false witness against other Deniers, and defend the claims of all thy Denier neighbors, no matter how absurd

Thou shall not covet the Alarmist's education, published works, or scientific integrity. Believe always that the Alarmist sympathizes only with communism, and that it is Thyself who must be free from all political bias

Top Ten Policies Necessary to Ensure a Global Apocalypse

Following are the most urgent policy prescriptions necessary to maximize the likelihood of a collapsed global ecosystem. They are listed in order of importance. To have any chance of hastening the end we really must get at it.


No. 1 - POPULATION - Human population is not relevant to our current situation. We can make as many people as we wish and there will be no consequence. Human ingenuity can solve any conceivable problem. When we run out of room here we can colonize the Moon, then Mars, then the whole Universe!

No. 2 - GREENHOUSE GASES – Global Warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated. The Environmentalist / Socialist / Secular Humanist Axis of Evil must be destroyed at all cost.

No. 3 - PROTECT ECOSYSTEMS? –Nature will regenerate itself endlessly no matter what we do. A lot of the stuff we do is better than nature anyway.

No. 4 - CONSUMPTION – We have a God given economic right to consume what we want. Period. I worked hard for my money and I’ll spend it as I please.

No. 5 - AGRICULTURE - God gave us dominion over the earth. It is ours to use as we see fit. We can tinker with the genes of our food, and heck with everything else for that matter. When all that is left is green slime, so long as it's nutritious and tastes good, who cares!

No. 6 - ECONOMIES - Markets are the purest form of Natural Law. Let the cream rise to the top and let the rest eat cake.

No. 7 - TECHNOLOGY - Technology is the Holy Grail. By God, what Man would ever want to stick his hand down into the dirty Earth, the smelly slimy Sea. The end state of humanity should be to live in a hermetically sealed bubble with all his wants and needs artificially provided.

No. 8 - ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION? – We already give up too much to the crazed hippy environmentalists. We have a God Given Right to take the last 2% of world that hasn't been spoiled and make some more money off it. When Antarctica unfreezes, I want first dibs there too.

No. 9 - POVERTY- Poor people are lazy and deserve their lot.

No. 10 – DEMILITARIZATION? - If I can’t defraud you out of what you have, I’ll make laws that make cheating you out of it legal. And when that fails I’ll just kill you and take it.

1. I am Taxes, your God; thou shalt have no other Gods besides me. 2. Thou shalt not use the name of Dana, Trevor, or Mann in vain. 3. Thou shalt hyperventilate over each passing end-of-the-world fad. 4. Thou shalt respect thy lunatic leftist leaders. 5. Thou shalt kill the scientific method. 6. Thou shalt steal in the name of AGW. 7. Thou shalt accuse skeptics of being Holocaust Deniers. 8. Thou shalt bear false witness against Watts, Spencer, and Lindzen. 9. Thou shalt not covet Dana's boyfriend. 10. Thou shalt blindly accept faulty climate models, upside-down Tiljander series, error-ridden IPCC reports, and that Myths #1-35 are myths (not truths as at least most of them are). I must say, I was stunned by the irony of the AGW religous cult accusing skeptics of being a religion. I couldn't even tell Dana how ridiculous he was being because he blocked me for reasons unknown.
