George Will:

WHAT Friedrich Hayek called the "fatal conceit" - the idea that
government can know the future's possibilities and can and should
control the future's unfolding - is the Left's agenda.

The Left exists to enlarge the state's supervision of life, narrowing
individual choices in the name of collective goods. Hence the Left's
hostility to markets. And to automobiles: people going wherever they
want whenever they want.

Today's green Left is the old red Left revised. The green Left preaches
pessimism: ineluctable scarcities (of energy, food, animal habitats,
humans' living space) will require a perpetual regime of comprehensive
rationing. The green Left understands that the direct route to
government control of almost everything is to stigmatise, as a planetary
menace, something involved in almost everything: carbon.
Environmentalism is, as (former British chancellor of the exchequer
Nigel) Lawson writes, an unlimited "licence to intrude".

Eco-fundamentalism, which is "the quasi-religion of green alarmism",
promises "global salvationism".

Onward, green soldiers, into preventive war on behalf of some bears who
are simultaneously flourishing and threatened.

This is true more than 50% of the so called scientists who post the
alarmist
views on this thread are obviously communists in sheeps' clothing.

Or just efficiency experts gone wild. The left, even some that
actively promote leftist big government and loss of freedom, constantly
comes up with ideas that would supposedly be more efficient, like bee
hive apartments instead of single homes on large lots.

They would have more than one family, or maybe several generations
of the same family living in one apartment, by government assignment, rather
than by free choice.

And Global Warming is the latest scheme, not for individual nations,
but to impose the hardships and costs of CO2 emissions, on the entire world,
except for Asia.

How much can Asia be paying these salesmen of doom and gloom, the
best way to keep selling junk all over the world, is by making it more
costly, or even restricting production, in the rest of the world.

Confucius has a new idea.
