22. Misleading title
Edited on Tue Sep-08-09 07:26 AM by Nihil
"Only god can save us now" doesn't capture what he is saying at all.

Lord May (Wiki has him "a devoted agnostic" rather than "atheist" FWIW) said
"People who believe in the End of Days, who believe the world is going to come
to an end, don't care about climate change. I think there is quite a strong
connection between the religious right and climate change denial."

This is exactly the charge that many on this forum have laid at the feet
of fundamentalists, climate change deniers and other trolls. Why is it
different when he says it? It is still correct.


> "A supernatural punisher maybe part of the solution" to enforce necessary
> measurements to cope with climate change.

I read this as more of a "if it works, use it" approach rather than any form
of "only God can save us now".

That guy has his faults but I wouldn't put this down amongst them.

:shrug:

(Edit for typo + clarification)
