What is an climate sceptic? The very word is overtly reminiscent of Newspeak. Hog-wash I say, the term is nothing less than pure pro-warming brainwashing terminology.
The pro-warming lobby can define all the bla-bla-bla terminology they wish for between themselves, but they may not cook-up that which describes their dissenters. That's for me, and my like, to define.
I am a global-warming dissenter, I am a climate-change atheist. I am not an carbon-footprint agnostic.
To describe anyone and everyone who is not just a lock, stock and barrel climate-warming zombie (or grubby-fingered benefactor) by use of such a handy little catch-all catch-phrase terminology as 'sceptic' is more than just a lazy writer's falsehood. It is a contribution to the carbon-warmer's PR brainwashing agenda. A cog in the grinding-wheel, consciously granted or not.
The term 'sceptic' is a detractor devised to take-away any depth of objection from those who call-out against the imposition of this unscientific tyranny to which our so called political representatives fain nothing but the most feeble and tepid of stances.
sceptic - a person inclined to question or doubt accepted opinions
doubt - a feeling of uncertainty or lack of conviction - archaic fear; be afraid
rhetoric - the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the exploitation of figures of speech and other compositional techniques - language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect, but which is often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content
The point of Newspeak was greater than putting a positive spin to a message. In restricting vocabulary it limited the ability of the individual to conceive independent thought.
ReplyDeleteThis is why it is important to break through any imposed glass-ceilings and entirely mash-up the pro-warming-voice's newspeak to one representative of accuracy and clarity.
The 'climate-reality' movement should lead the debate pro-actively and set its own vocabulary and agenda.
