France Using Emergency Powers To Prevent Climate Change Protests (theguardian.com)
Bruce66423 writes: Following the Paris massacre, the French government declared a state of emergency. One of the regulations this introduced was control of large scale gatherings, and one of the events that is being caught up in this is planned protests to do with the Climate Change conference in Paris next month. This has resulted in some activists being put under house arrest — yet other gathering, such as commercial street markets — are being allowed to go ahead. Funny that; anyone would think that the government is using the opportunity to suppress dissent.
Turn anything you can into a tool to fix things you think are wrong with the world? Perish the thought.
Like get peasants killed, sacrificed, to fulfill your dream of communist revolution as in Che's advice?
Stephan, simple denigration of oppositional views and their holders is not going to be effective. The original justification of large scale climate studies ca 1970s-80s, had to do with the concern of Ice Age timing, indicators, mechanisms and prediction. In this vein, the climate researchers continue to fail badly.
I have a much harder science background than you do. I am old enough, that in graduate school, that the principal criticism of CO2 was its likely lack of adequate effect to prevent an Ice Age in any near term if needed. There are numerous scientific violations CAGW promotors create and blow past to manufacture their scenarios and narratives. I see a lot of egregiously bad science and social-political engineering in the CAGW works. These non technical attacks run off like water.
Simply put, I have my own hard earned opinion.
