Thomas Schelling on Global Warming

An Interview With Thomas Schelling, Part Two

"It's a tough sell. And probably you have to find ways to exaggerate the threat. "

"I sometimes wish that we could have, over the next five or ten years, a lot of horrid things happening -- you know, like tornadoes in the Midwest and so forth -- that would get people very concerned about climate change. But I don't think that's going to happen."


"Schelling has been involved in the global warming debate since chairing a commission for President Carter in 1980." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Schelling

Why is this guy the "Science Czar"?

Obama's Science Czar Considered Forced Abortions, Sterilization as Population Growth Solutions

The three authors summarize their guiding principle in a single sentence: "To provide a high quality of life for all, there must be fewer people."

"The 1,000-page course book, which was co-written with environmental activists Paul and Anne Ehrlich, discusses and in one passage seems to advocate totalitarian measures to curb population growth, which it says could cause an environmental catastrophe."

"To help achieve those goals, they formulate a "world government scheme" they call the Planetary Regime, which would administer the world's resources and human growth, and they discuss the development of an "armed international organization, a global analogue of a police force" to which nations would surrender part of their sovereignty."

"Vitter grilled Holdren during the hearing, asking him to clear up his 1986 prediction that global warming was going to kill about 1 billion people by 2020.

"You would still say," Vitter asked, "that 1 billion people lost by 2020 is still a possibility?"

"It is a possibility, and one we should work energetically to avoid," Holdren replied."

Quote of the day:

"Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.

So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit."
