There's a great movie - I doubt you've seen it, since most of the people who like are, um, intellectuals - called "My Dinner with Andre," which features Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory having a conversation over dinner.
At one point, Gregory tells Shawn about a visit to his mother's doctor, an orthopedist who is treating her for a weakened arm.
"Isn't it wonderful," the doctor tells Gregory, "how good your mother's arm looks!"
Gregory then notes to Shawn that his mother was, in fact, dying, and that it was irrelevant how are arm looked, since she was dying.
I have no doubt that the implication of this scene would go over the tiny little head of a person who is making happy face about how wonderful the wind industry is doing, having been able to squeeze money out of a planet where the atmosphere's rate of collapse has reached a new level.
The worst year in history was 1998, when the dumb fuck anti-nuke "wind and solar will save us" Joe Romm was running the climate office. The year to date at Mauna Loa in 1998 showed an average monthly increase over months of 1997 of 2.23 ppm. In 2013, the figure is 2.84 ppm over 2012, which was itself, the second worst year in history.
I am always amused when the most ignorant people on the planet - typically those who have never opened, for instance, a science book in their wasted bourgeois lives - declares that his or her dogma is the opinion of the "public."
Even if the public was as stupid as a doctor remarking on how wonderful a dying woman's arm looks, or an wind energy scammer saying how wonderful the wind industry is when the atmosphere is collapsing, that wouldn't make the public "right."
I note, with due contempt, that during the outbreak of the Bubonic Plague, the public response was to recommend going to church for prayer meetings.
That didn't work either. In fact, an argument could be made that it made it worse, sort of like betting the atmosphere on wind and solar made things worse.
Have a nice evening. Once again, congratulations on your grand victory.
You must be very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very proud.
