Everybody wants to feel that their life has meaning and
purpose. Some people more than
others. One of the most emotionally
needy individuals of our time has to be former vice president Al Gore. He lost a presidential election against
George W. Bush. Al Gore won the popular
vote but lost in the Electoral College. This
meant he’d lose a lot of attention and power.
Mr. Gore is an intelligent man who didn’t want to be ignored or
forgotten.
Since most people today also want to make themselves
feel as if their life has meaning and purpose, they believed Al Gore when he began
talking about global warming. What’s nobler
than saving the very planet each of us lives on from the evils of man? What a shame these people weren't obsessed
with the truth but only feeding their emotions.
Al Gore made a documentary called “An Inconvenient
Truth.” It told how we were all about
to be burned to a crisp because of planes, trains, automobiles, cow farts and
anything that produced CO2 gas.
The
documentary was perfect for the emotionally needy all over the world. It won an Academy Award and countries began
to start forming ways to control carbon emissions. There were carbon credits created in an
effort to control carbon output and people became aware of their carbon
footprint. Many emotionally needy people
were feeling pretty good about themselves for helping to save the planet.
The only problem was that a number of scientists
around the world didn’t agree with what was presented in Al Gore's documentary. These people found serious scientific errors in it. According to an article in the UK
Telegraph, there were at least nine serious scientific mistakes in the move.
This meant nothing for the emotionally needy around
world. (Sarcasm Alert) Why should they
be deprived of feeling like they’re saving the planet simply because there are a
few wrong scientific facts in a movie? There
were less than ten so who cares? In
their minds they’re still saving the planet and their feelings are what
matter.
During the global warming craze it was discovered
that researchers were actually playing with the numbers. When the figures didn’t match with what they
wanted, researchers would just adjust the numbers until they did. There are many of us who feel this isn’t
really science. It’s more like creating
live theatre for the emotionally needy.
It happened at a UK university called East Anglia. It is considered by some to be one of the
worst scientific scandals of our time.
The scandal at East Anglia and the scientific
mistakes in Al Gore’s documentary still mean nothing to the emotionally
needy. They simply close their eyes, put
their fingers in their ears as they move their heads back and forth screaming
“No, no, no, no, you’re not going to let scientific facts keep me from feeling
like I’m saving the planet. I’m an
important person who is saving the planet. I have to be saving the planet.”
Most of these people worry about the carbon imprint
of others more than themselves. Displaying intense hypocrisy is a way of life for the emotionally needy. Al Gore is a poster child for this behavior.
Since the emotionally needy refuse to give up their
feeling of saving the planet, they become very upset when confronted with an
opposing scientific opinion. They give
such people labels as “global warming deniers” and make all sorts of bizarre
accusations such as these people want to drive SUVs and live in a world that
looks like the tip of a burnt match stick.
The emotionally needy yell, scream and ignore anything that doesn’t help with their desire to believe they’re saving the planet.
Recently 38 climate scientists wrote an article for
the Wall Street Journal. In the article
they tell why there is no reason to panic about global warming.
The emotionally needy believe in global warming as
others do their religion. They have reacted to the
findings of the 38 climate scientists as expected. Individuals such as the editor from the LA
Times has banned the printing opinions that run counter to global warming.
(Article Excerpt)
Paul Thornton, editor of the paper’s letters
section, recently wrote a letter of his own, stating flatly that he won't
publish some letters from those skeptical of man’s role in our planet’s warming
climate. In Thornton’s eyes, those people are often wrong -- and he doesn’t
print obviously wrong statements.
“Simply put, I do my best to keep errors of fact off
the letters page; when one does run, a correction is published,” Thornton
wrote. “Saying ‘there’s no sign humans have caused climate change’ is not
stating an opinion, it’s asserting a factual inaccuracy.”
(Sarcasm
Alert) Isn’t it good to know that an editor from the LA Times has so much
scientific knowledge and understanding he is qualified to make such a decision? What are 38 climate scientists who are
educated in modern science and spend their lives studying the climate compared
to the knowledge of an editor from the LA Times?
Now the climate change debate is completely controlled
by the emotionally needy. Opposing
opinions of established scientists are now to be ignored and labeled as wrong. Facts are no longer important if they don’t
satisfy the desires of the emotionally needy.
There was a time when a scientist named Galileo told
the head of the Catholic Church that the earth revolved around the sun. He also said the earth was not the center of
the universe. This hurt the feelings of
the members of the Catholic Church. They
didn’t care for this scientific fact stuff.
They took Galileo to the basement and let him see torture chambers and
what happened to people who said such crazy things. Galileo became terrified and said “What was I
thinking? This scientific fact stuff can
sure ruin a person.”
Today believing in opposing scientific facts won’t
get you sent to a torture chamber. It
can get you mocked, laughed at and banned from having your opinion read in the
LA Times. The behavior of today’s world is
nothing new. It’s something that has happened throughout history;
especially when the emotionally needy have been in positions of power.
