Never were words this powerful said since Buddha himself sat under the
tree. This is a definite course of action to follow in the modern
world, where so much deceit is used to hide the truth. And what is the
Truth?

The Wise Man follows the experts, not the ignorant person...

"The predominant scientific opinion on climate change is that the
Earth's climate system is unequivocally warming and it is more than
90% certain that humans are causing it through activities that
increase concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as
deforestation and burning fossil fuels."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change

Thought of the day:

"Each class of society has its own requirements; but it may be said
that every class teaches the one immediately below it; and if the
highest class be ignorant, uneducated, loving display, luxuriousness,
and idle, the same spirit will prevail in humbler life."

I think I get the hint. ;)

And what is the solution? THE SOLUTION IS THE REVOLUTION. Which one?
Common, give me a break.

Well, what amazes is just how much the conservative media machine is
based on lies not just distortions or legitimate differences of opinion,
but outright manufactured lies. For instance:

- "climategate,"
- ACORN,
- attributing the steepest national deficit increase to President Obama
- Michelle Obama's make believe lingerie shopping spree
- the Community Reinvestment Act and Fannie & Freddie caused the
subprime loan crisis.

The list goes on...and on...

When all it takes is a little research to know better, and that these
are not even worthy subjects for debate, it would appear the strategy is
cynical and dishonest: tie up knowledgeable people with whack-a-mole
and persuade the rest through argumentum verbosium.

It shares Harold Campen's doomsday prediction psychology in which the
mind is trained to ignore the real facts.

All it took was the rise of Gen Y through OWS to significantly change
the debate, however. As the hopelessly indoctrinated older generation
dies out political landscape and they take the field, they're not
putting up with any of the bullshit.

Okay.

What appears as wisdom
may turn out to be not as wise
as the wisdom of letting the world be.

To think the next ice-age can be stalled
by not allowing the world to warm up
could be the folly of wise guys.

"Five hundred million years ago, carbon dioxide concentrations were
over 13 times current levels; and not until about 20 million years ago
did carbon dioxide levels dropped [sic] to a little less than twice
what they are today.

It is possible that moderately increased carbon dioxide concentrations
could extend the current interglacial period. But we have not reached
the level required yet, nor do we know the optimum level to reach. "

Alarmists sound alarms.

The next asteroid is hiding,
ready to slam into Earth
without any notice.

Once upon a time
there was a Red Giant.

C'mon, those TV shows suck. When are we having a programs on the
Buddha so we all know the path. Well, at least we need more animal
shows. If you pay attention, you will learn a lot.

In the jungle, the monkey making noise is not alarmist. It's warning
of danger. He means "CHANGE PATH!"
