Sadar | JANUARY 18, 2014 AT 2:25 PM<\/p>\n<p>    Libertarian conservative James Delingpole's latest    light-hearted compendium on a serious topic, The Little    Green Book of Eco-Fascism: The Left's Plan to Frighten Your    Kids, Drive Up Energy Costs, and Hike Your Taxes!, is    presented in a concise encyclopedic style with entries from A    to Z.  <\/p>\n<p>    Delingpole, of the Daily Telegraph, The Spectator and other    publications, covers the gamut of subjects related to climate    change hype. His humorous handy-dandy tome will have a climate    change \"denier smiling, but will take an ardent    environmentalist who also happens to be an extreme masochist    to heights of ecstasy never dreamt possible.  <\/p>\n<p>    Particularly cogent is his definition of \"weather.\" The    difference between \"weather\" and \"climate\" is really very    simple, he explains. \"If it's cold when the greenies say it    should be warming, it's weather. If, on the other hand, it's    doing anything that bears any correlation with their computer    models' predictions of environmental doom, then it definitely    counts as climate.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    Snippets from some of my other favorite topics include:  <\/p>\n<p>    Blogosphere: Not since Gutenberg invented the    printing press, perhaps, has the cause of openness and liberty    made so spectacular a leap as it has as a result of the    Internet.  <\/p>\n<p>    Ecology: Ecology, you could argue, has    replaced Christianity as the Wests dominant religious    philosophy. And the related offering:  <\/p>\n<p>    Faith: Modern environmentalism is only    comprehensible in terms of faith. It is a form of    antinomianism, that is, it depends for existence on a series of    accepted truths which brook no argument and are entirely    immune to logic or rational criticism.  <\/p>\n<p>    Lifestyle, Too Selfish to Change Your: \"Charge    routinely leveled by greenies at all those reactionary    conservatives who: insist on taking showers more than once a    fortnight.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    Scientists: After giving some much-needed    perspective on scientists, Delingpole tackles \"science,\"    observing that political activists discovered that science    could be used \"as a handy excuse to advance their agenda under    the guise of studied objectivity. 'Hey, it's not because we're    a bunch of crypto-Marxist control freaks that we're demanding    higher taxes, more regulation, and the replacement of Western    industrial civilization with a Soviet-style global command    economy run by leftist technocrats. It's because the science    tells us that that's what we need to do'.\"  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Visit link: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/a-libertarians-guide-to-climate-change-hype\/article\/2542417\" title=\"A libertarian's guide to climate change hype\">A libertarian's guide to climate change hype<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Anthony J.
