Green Totalitarianism

Peter Glover discusses the totalitarian instincts of the environmental extremists; from James Lovelock’s dislike for democracy and Steve Zwick’s urge to burn houses, to the attempts to silence skeptics and put them on trial. From Kari Noorgard’s view that we are insane and Obama’s adviser advocating eugenics to the EPA’s scorched earth policy.

And there’s also this Finnish expert who is quite fond of dictatorships.

Any dictatorship would be better than modern democracy. There cannot be so incompetent dictator, that he would show more stupidity than a majority of the people. Best dictatorship would be one where lots of heads would roll and government would prevent any economical growth.

A sentiment shared by some academics, and reported  by The Onion.

UPDATE:

World socialism required to stave off global warming.
