CALGARY CHAPTER OF THE FRIENDS OF SCIENCE
|
I know a great deal about this bizarre world because I have incorrectly been accused of being in the pay of Big Oil. In the early days, I did try to get their money in order to show them why they could ignore the great deception of global warming...
I knew this because I was contacted by a group of retired energy sector scientists to help set up an organization to fight the Kyoto Protocol. The group exists today as the Friends of Science (FOS)... they still play my quote “The Kyoto Protocol is a political solution to a non-existent problem without scientific justification.” They have done a commendable job on the science...
... In the Middle Ages, governments set limits on profit, usually up to 9%, based on pseudo-religious values with any higher deemed usury... Part of this is related to the founding of America with the escape from religious persecution of the Plymouth Brethren on the Mayflower. They considered profit good as long as it was balanced by a strict tithe to the church.
All this changed in the 20th century because Darwin’s work was used to challenge the existence of God and this juxtaposed formal religion against science. Because God was no longer the reason for humans being different in the academic world, it culminated in universities adding a completely new faculty, the Social Sciences....through the writings of Richard Dawkins and others. It all resulted in the demise of the influence of formal religion and created a moral and ethical vacuum among young people...
What should happen is that at a minimum both creationism and evolutionary theory be taught, and students establish their opinions.
... environmentalism became a religion... like most great religions or fascist organizations it realized that it was necessary to control the education system. Children graduate from a school system that baptizes them into the environmental religion. The impact and extent of the changes are seen in the complete overturn of the order of learning...
My sympathies are with the energy companies because ...Environmentalists are parasites who produce nothing ... A plague on all their houses, but a more lethal one, as survival of the fittest would allow on the non-productive one.
