Climate changers are magic realists

  Let's face it.
  We're getting into weirdo territory here.
  It's always surprising when people who are capable of carrying on normal conversations lapse into crazy talk; yet this is the case as the climate changers are becoming increasingly shrill and hysterical in trying to manipulate the public into doing what they want.
  Fewer and fewer people are believing the climate scaremongers, so the rhetoric has ratcheted up.
  Take, for example, Paul Krugman, celebrated "economist" for the NY Times.
  His latest column is entitled "Republicans Against Science."
  Here's a quote from the smug Krugman, who cannot seem to accept anyone's theories but his own when it comes to, well, anything:

And the deepening anti-intellectualism of the political right, both within and beyond the G.O.P., extends far beyond the issue of climate change. 

Lately, for example, The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page has gone beyond its long-term preference for the economic ideas of “charlatans and cranks” — as one of former President George W. Bush’s chief economic advisers famously put it — to a general denigration of hard thinking about matters economic. Pay no attention to “fancy theories” that conflict with “common sense,” the Journal tells us. Because why should anyone imagine that you need more than gut feelings to analyze things like financial crises and recessions? 

Now, we don’t know who will win next year’s presidential election. But the odds are that one of these years the world’s greatest nation will find itself ruled by a party that is aggressively anti-science, indeed anti-knowledge. And, in a time of severe challenges — environmental, economic, and more — that’s a terrifying prospect.

  So if you do not see the world the way Mr. Krugman and his ilk do, you are an illiterate ignoramus who does not appreciate the knowledge and his wisdom his kind deign to gift the world.
  Ah, for the days when "intellectuals" were worshiped without question, such as the public attitude toward the 19th century writer and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson:

One of the most famous public speakers of his day, Ralph Waldo Emerson drew all sorts of listeners. A scrubwoman who went to his lyceum lectures is reported to have said that she didn’t really understand him, “but I like to go and see him stand up there and look as though he thought everyone else is as good as he is.” A version of this story appears in most Emerson biographies. Sometimes it is a workman or farmer who braves a snowstorm to hear Emerson talk and explains his devotion by saying, “We don’t know what he said, but we’re sure he’s giving us the best there is.” As Wesley Mott, the founder and president of the Emerson Society, puts it: “People went away tremendously uplifted—and had no idea what they just heard.”

  But obviously not everyone IS as good as Mr. Krugman and certainly not as good as Al Gore, whose stock has gone up (literally) with his push of the climate crisis theory. You know, the theory that he illustrates with fantastical slide shows and movie clips of the terrible damage that will be done to the planet if you don't stop flying and driving your carbon crunching vehicles.
 The latest dire prognostication concerning climate change is that all the bad weather incidents which are, of course, caused by global warming, is causing mental illness.

RATES of mental illnesses including depression and post-traumatic stress will increase as a result of climate change, a report to be released today says.
The paper, prepared for the Climate Institute, says loss of social cohesion in the wake of severe weather events related to climate change could be linked to increased rates of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress and substance abuse.

  Add this to some intellectuals' declaration that aliens are probably going to destroy our world because we aren't driving Chevy Volts.
  Presumably people like Al Gore, who recently equated climate deniers with racists who deny civil rights (like his own father) and who pays $30,000 in utilities a year for one of his mansions and who flies extensively spreading the gospel of climate change, will be eaten first by the aliens.
  Bjorn Lomberg, who believes climate change is real but disagrees with the scare tactics, has a film called "Cool It" which changes the approach to a more practical one:
 

  Let's all paint our roofs white. Let's not eat meat because cows fart too much. Let's limit population because people breathe too much.
  Climate change causes violent war. You're a racist if you don't believe in climate change.
  You're constructing your "own alternative version of reality" if you are a "denier."
  We need a "climate change peacekeeping force." We don't want to hear what you have to say if you are a "denier."
  The absurdity goes on and on, even as the climate changers expend more carbon than most people.
  Magic realism is the incorporation of magical elements into reality, often used in literature and filmmaking.
  This is exactly what climate changers are doing today. They are incorporated fantastical elements, things that are absolutely absurd and ridiculous, into their stories and claims to force people into doing what they want. 
  Not only are these people getting rich on their claims, they are aiming to redistribute the wealth of ordinary Americans into not only their own pockets but the pockets of underprivileged countries.
  Let's call it for what it is.
  Climate changers are constructing their own realities.
