President Obama nominated Dr. John P. Holdren, the Teresa and John Heinz Professor of Environmental Policy at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, for chief White House Science Advisor. The man is supposed to be advising the President on science issues, an area where Obama is weak. But Holdren is no scientist. He is an ecological activist of the extreme alarmist far left, an augur of cosmic retribution for human sins against the natural order, who over the past 40 years has warned of population-growth induced "ecocide," "global cooling," global warming due to heat dissipation from power plants, nuclear Armageddon, and -- this week -- "climate disruption". The more I learn about these things, the more I respect the current Chinese government, led by a professional engineer and manned by real scientists.

From one extreme to another.
What this is telling me is that magical thinking is now pervasive in the USA, indeed even throughout the West, in one form or another.
It is a consequence of unintelligent people having too much money. In this way we are actually a victim of our own success.
Anon.
This is an extension of the Club of Rome BS. The elites want to reduce our standard of living and reduce the number of people on this planet. This is also a consequence of the decline of Christianity, with our former religion being replaced by paganism (environmentalism).
As for the source of the magical thinking look at this.
Enviromentalist politicians are enemies of children, motherhood, industry, agriculture, progress. Now one of them is the science czar of the United States. What is the religion of President Barak Hussein Obama?
Opportunism.
Anon.
You forgot one more: enviros are the enemies of apple pie (falafel in Israel) and baseball.
I think Obama is a communist. Earlier I said that we lost the Cold War because we failed to defeat the enemy within, I was referring to Obama's religion.
Kyoto seems like world-wide redistribution of wealth. Capping carbon has a negative effect on industry, and a country's wealth. Giving developing countries a lower cap allows them to "catch up." It's like affirmative action on a nationwide level.
