Good news: Global warming to bring about end times for conservative America

Not so much a prediction as a prayer. What distinguishes this from normal left-wing quasi-religious maliciousness, like attributing Tony Snow’s cancer to some sort of karmic blowback from his work for Bush, is that it’s not content to have the heathens drowned or boiled, as a deranged Phelpsian Old Testament preacher might be. This turd’s actually gamed out a whole new political order premised upon liberals ruling over a disenfranchised, ghettoized conservative untermensch. Something for the second printing?
The important thing is that we, on the higher ground both actually and figuratively, need to remember that, when they begin their historic migration from their doomed regions, we not give them the keys to the city. They certainly should be offered assistance in their time of need, but we need to keep a firm grip on our political systems, making sure that these guilty throngs who allowed the world to go to hell are gerrymandered into political impotence in their new homes.
There will be much work to be done to help the earth and its residents—human and non-human—survive this man-made catastrophe, and we can’t have these future refugee troglodytes, should their personal disasters still fail to make them recognize reality, mucking things up again.
Note that this scenario isn’t offered as an unfortunate but necessary outcome of the warming apocalypse but explicitly as a “silver lining.”

Really all global warming is about is a retelling of the Noah’s story.

Political eugenicists.
Fantastic.

It has a 12th inman kind of ring to it. Iran gets a bomb and the leftys get global warming. How long before we have a global warming national holiday? That is something Congress could work on.
a capella on December 27, 2007 at 12:33 PM
Just another hateful half-wit worshiping at the pagan alter of Global Warming.
Zorro on December 27, 2007 at 12:35 PM
Soooo…. with the Foot of Global Warming I have out on my driveway right now (Denver)…
With a VERY good snowpack for this early in the year…
With both the Southern and Northen Icepack EXPANDING….
Just where is this deluge coming from?

Idiot. If his scenario is to hold true, it will not lead to an ideological utopia, it’ll lead to civil war.
Typical liberal mind-set always tends to exclude vital elements from the equation. Those migrating red staters are going to bring their guns with them.

From the tears of asshats like this guy when alas it does not come to pass.
KelliD on December 27, 2007 at 12:38 PM
Thanks for the thread to break up the assassination news. I love these crazies.
I believe that after 9/11, people went in one of either two directions. One group, the realists, delved deeper into Islam and realised that we have a decades long war going on with bloodthirsty savages that want us infidels dead.
The second group seized upon global warming as the most dire threat to humanity. Fortunately, if the world united and held hands, taxed the rich nations and took massive earth friendly initiatives seriously, we could all save the earth together in this war with no blood and Gaia wins.
Search archives for ‘climate change’ and ‘global warming’ at Kos and other liberal sites from about 1999 forward.
In the meantime, like anytime these crazies speak, I’m going to take the dog for a car ride, maybe grab a coffee and a timbit for her. It makes her happy. Screw global warming.
Canadian Infidel on December 27, 2007 at 12:39 PM
He forgets that the “future refugee troglodytes” will be better armed than him or his fringe “higher ground” buddies. Of course, that would mean an ability to comprehend reality. Maybe I’m asking for too much.
The idiocy and sheer lunacy of these people never ceases to amaze, and sadden me.
darwin on December 27, 2007 at 12:43 PM
Assuming the worst, and I don’t, “we” won’t be asking for the keys to the city. “We’d” just take them. Those of us living in the “doomed regions” are the ones with all the firepower.
BowHuntingTexas on December 27, 2007 at 12:47 PM
Will somebody please ask these dimwits “What ended the last ICE AGE?”
ctmom on December 27, 2007 at 12:47 PM
My blue-state sister once sent me a copy & pasted email professing the innate superiority of blue states — the blue states have this, the blue states have that, blah, blah, blah. And all the time bemoaning the red states’ lack of same.
I pointed out to her that the red states have the military and own most of the guns.
She doesn’t send me email like that anymore.
Purple Fury on December 27, 2007 at 12:50 PM
Day maker. Thank you.
MadisonConservative on December 27, 2007 at 12:54 PM
I love you! That’s hilarious.
At Christmas, my aunt went on some long rant about how Iraq didn’t sponsor terrorism. I laughed at her and pointed out that Iraq sponsored terrorism in Israel for years. So unless she wants to allege that Jews aren’t people, perhaps she needs to rethink her statement. I haven’t heard a response yet.
mjk on December 27, 2007 at 12:54 PM
My initial reaction to this author is a simple question: How do your fellow liberals taste?
I ask because those same Red-Staters he so loathes produce the bulk of the nutrients his body ingests, and without them, the cities he would make liberal city-states will quickly fall into a starving bedlam.
It is certainly technically possible to build dikes around Boston, New York, Baltimore, etc, but as the domestic fuel supply is primarily in these same Red States he seeks to isolate (along with the food), it seems unlikely that starving men or machines will be able to accomplish much. He would create a siege from within… not the brightest thought.
Should such an unfortunate series of climatic events take place, it is the densely populated areas incapable of sustaining themselves that will fall first, not the rural regions that are far more capable of sustaining themselves.
The author betrays wishful thinking, but no grasp of reality. It should come as no surprise, then, that he formerly wrote for the New York Times.
Bob Owens on December 27, 2007 at 12:55 PM
So is this referring to folks like Al Gore living on energy guzzling estates and flying private jets? I’m with the author. Let the Goracle/Troglodyte Numero Uno, get the mop and bucket and start cleaning up the ocean until Venice is once again part of the Italian mainland.
I recently had someone explain to me that he didn’t believe in global warming, but felt that greenhouse gases were effecting the weather. It was Christmas Eve, so I didn’t bother to get into things like “facts” with this moop.
Hening on December 27, 2007 at 12:55 PM
It’s so cute when they fantasize about the kind of world they would like to rule over, while sucking their thumbs and rubbing their blankies.
He has quite an imagination. Who knows, maybe he’ll be a writer when he grows up.
NellE on December 27, 2007 at 12:56 PM
Just how far in the future do you figure, it will be legal, neccessary and desirable due to an enlightenment, to kill and dispose of such a waste of carbon and air? I know. I know. I sound just like him. I’m just looking-forward that’s all. The future is so bright.
Griz on December 27, 2007 at 12:56 PM
There’s a wee problem with ol’ Dave’s illogic. There’s many a fellow moonbat living in those states. (South Florida, first to sink beneath the deluge of Dave’s scenario, comes to mind.)
How will “they” know which of the refugees from the wrath of Gaia deserve punishment?
A secret AlGore decoder ring?
Nichevo on December 27, 2007 at 12:57 PM
What do you mean “quasi” religious? This Lindorff dude is quite obviously saying that a horrible but well-deserved fate will befall global warming apostates. This dude should work for CHICK.

Because he’s offering a scientific explanation, and he’s not saying the horrible fate will be limited only to apostates.
Allahpundit on December 27, 2007 at 1:01 PM
Reading this brough tme back to my daydreams about what a liberal-run world would actually be like, similar musing as in Bob Owens’ post. They have no clue how destroyed their lives would be.
None of them would actually “stoop down” to do the necessary heavy lifting work of sustaining a population. With an entire population looking for a handout, there would be no one left to supply it.
Grafted on December 27, 2007 at 1:14 PM
They have it all figured out. They will build a great wall and have their version of the pearly gates, except it will be made of recycled Evian bottles, hemp, and used up hybrid car batteries. And instead of St. Peter the Goracle shall stand in judgement on who gets in based on their ability to buy carbon offsets.
Brass Pair on December 27, 2007 at 1:15 PM
So how long until we see new bumperstickers saying
Fight the Right. Buy a Hummer!
ronsfi on December 27, 2007 at 1:16 PM
Not quite.
Take a look at the global warming agenda; very little in the way of fixing the alleged problem and lots on creating a one world utopia. Global warming has been used as a very large foot in the door to whole world communism lead by the UN.
It’s a shame that it looks like it may even work. Remember the old saying. Environmentalists are like watermelons, green on the outside and red on the inside.
jmarcure on December 27, 2007 at 1:18 PM
Wow…imagine if he’d applied the same logic to Katrina victims.
JustTruth101 on December 27, 2007 at 1:18 PM
Can we get him to use is scientific reasoning to tell us exactly where the new coastline will be? I’d like to get a head start on buying some beachfront property.

JustTruth101 on December 27, 2007 at 1:19 PM
The sun is starting to enter a more quiet cycle. Astrophysicists are projecting falling temperatures for the next decade or so, and it will start now. The southern hemisphere had a record winter, and the northern hemisphere will have a normal winter at best — though some areas have already had record snowfall. There has been no year warmer than 1998 in the past several decades, and that was nearly a decade ago, itself. The temperature has been flat for the past 5 or 6 years (and that’s even on the completely insane scale the warmistas use to make a .1 degree change look shockingly monumental). Expect a huge, huge, HUGE push on global warming for the next year; it will have been completely discredited within two years and the politicians, fear-mongers, enviro-deist Gaia-theocrats, and snake-oil scam artists will have to have succeeded in their dreams of domination by then.
Do not mistake the warmistas for scientists — they are not and have never been. Apostacy and heresy are theological concepts, not scientific ones.
TABoLK on December 27, 2007 at 1:21 PM
I believe Michelle already has this Lindorff guy covered.
My comments are already there, but one more:
Has Lindorff forgotten that Middle (e.g. inland) America is already a conservative stronghold and his doomsday scenario only makes it moreso, seeing as the government sucking liberal wastes will drown waiting for FEMA to rescue them? Say goodbye to toss-up state Florida.
BKennedy on December 27, 2007 at 1:24 PM
If you take a look at the List of global warming reference links provided by the Chronicle in the sidebar, it’s easy to see Lindorff’s just putting words to the overall editorial philosophy.
Quisp on December 27, 2007 at 1:25 PM
What an idiot.
As if “red-staters” will just be wiped out or something. Like they’ll just stay in their houses and slowly drown.
It’s more likely that IF this happened, they’d end up moving to areas like Maryland, Pennsylvania, and so forth and turn them into red states too.
Bwahahaha! More electoral votes!!!! Speed up global warming – buy an SUV!!!
moonbat monitor on December 27, 2007 at 1:25 PM
That is because the average liberal is emotionally and mentally a small child. They have no clue where stuff comes from or how money is made. They take it as normal that there is food on the table and a house around that table and there is always mommy and daddy. How many liberals do you know that had a hard life? Compare it to how many conservatives you know that had a hard life. People that take responsibility and work for a living lean conservative and those that always have mommy to bail them out always lean left. They are the smartest, best looking and most deserving of all the people and it’s exactly the same thing little children say.
jmarcure on December 27, 2007 at 1:27 PM
And I wonder if he applied that same logic to the Katrina victims.
Oh wait….nevermind. They vote for the correct candidate, so he left them out.
moonbat monitor on December 27, 2007 at 1:28 PM
Very, very true.
Grafted on December 27, 2007 at 1:33 PM
This may be one of the most embarrassingly uneducated articles I have ever read… this man will one day cringe in absolute shame when he goes back and reads this.
Does this man actually believe this?
HAHAHAHA! If anyone needs help grasping the pitiful state of modern journalism and the extent to which it is dominated by uneducated J-school grads, they should simply observe his credentials vis-a-vis the gross scientific illiteracy that is on display in this article.
And let’s not even get into the fact that the major “blue” population centers are on the coasts–as if that is even something to actually worry about in the first place.
DaveS on December 27, 2007 at 1:37 PM
By laying out this ridiculous scenario he is already admitting defeat for his side. To me, that’s a good thing.
RMR on December 27, 2007 at 1:47 PM
Like Romeo13, I need to shovel all this global warming off my driveway. Then, perhaps I should drive in circles around Denver for no apparent reason to try to warm things up a bit around here.
But it’s too cold and blustery to venture outside right now.
CliffHanger on December 27, 2007 at 1:58 PM
Hey now. I love cats and I think that guy’s a complete and utter jackass.
I wonder what he thinks will happen to all the liberals down in Florida (Key West, Miami) ?
Ryan Gandy on December 27, 2007 at 1:58 PM
It infuriates me that this gonad will be taken seriously by lots of clueless people. I, in Florida, will be under water before his cats die of old age (within the next decade)? It’s a shame there isn’t a place for comments on that asshat’s editorial.
Privatestock on December 27, 2007 at 1:58 PM
Ah, the coming glorious reign of the Khmer Bleu… I’m sure that Soylent Green powered SUV’s will rule the streets of this new liberal utopia.

Cats can live to be 20. Does he mean two lifetimes equaling 40 years? How old is this man, he probably wouldn’t be around anyway.
Rose on December 27, 2007 at 2:05 PM
Doesn’t anyone remember Michael MhoreOn:
“If someone did this [9/11] to get back at Bush, then they did so by killing thousands of people who DID NOT VOTE for him! Boston, New York, D.C., and the planes’ destination of California — these were places that voted AGAINST Bush!” — Michael Moore On 9/12/2001
By that same logic, cities, which are at the greatest risk of terrorism, get what they deserve for voting Blue.
DANEgerus on December 27, 2007 at 2:12 PM
In so many words, this kook Lindorff is actually fantasizing about a left-wing fascist genocide of conservatives and Christians (aided by the righteous judgement of Mother Gaia, of course). Ironically enough, this irrational hatred of believers is part of the end-time scenario predicted in the Bible.
infidel4life on December 27, 2007 at 2:12 PM
Fantastic! That comment is a beaut.
Redhead Infidel on December 27, 2007 at 2:17 PM
Ah! A good old fashioned mocking-of-the-loony-left thread!
I miss threads like this.
Gather ’round, everyone. Let’s group hug it out.
As for Lindorff the Loony Liberal … boy, some people are setting themselves up to look mighty stupid in approximately two cat’s lives. Whatever the @#$% that means.
Of course, nobody will remember this by then. By then, the liberals will all pretend they never made any such claims. And they’ll be on to the next silly hysteria.
These people exist only to amuse me.
Professor Blather on December 27, 2007 at 2:21 PM
If a contact e-mail can be turned up for this loon, it’ll be interesting to see how long it operates before going down.

We should remember to contact him when his cats eventually pass on. If Florida isn’t underwater, he’s got some ’splaining to do.

Global warming might kill me, this I know,
Though my thermostat is turned down, oh so low.
Though my lights are all set on dim,
Still Al bids me to scrimp more for him.
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
The Goracle tells me so.
Though my Honda is oh, so slow,
With my brain in his hands I’ll go.
On through life, let come to me what may,
He’ll be fling in a private jet going his own way.
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
The Goracle tells me so.
Though I am no longer young,
I have learned so much which He’s begun.
Let me live in a cave like my ancestors did for the Oracle with a smile,
Go with him the extra carbon credit pile.
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
The Goracle tells me so.
When the days are hot and long,
In my hand He puts a bong.
Telling me in words so clear,
“Have no fear, I am the Oracle and I am near.”
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
The Goracle tells me so.
When his work in America is done,
And his bank accounts weigh a ton.
He will take my roof above,
Then I’ll understand all about his love.
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
The Goracle tells me so.
I praise the Goracle, does he know?
Have I ever told Him so?
The Goracle loves to hear me say,
That I will buy his carbon credits every day.
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
Yes, Global warming might kill me!
The Goracle tells me so.

infidel4life on December 27, 2007 at 3:04 PM
Fact-checking is not in Lindorff’s job description.
Putting his flawed concepts of engineering aside for a moment, it is too bad his geographic and demographic beliefs are as poorly based as his climate change belief, otherwise his point might actually fit rather well relative to his community-based reality.
As for his trust that his compatriots will build his dikes — 75′+ high if, as he suggests, most of LA and half of AL are flooded — before his cats die, well, how’s New Orleans coming along, Dude? Me, I’m thinking his future would have troglodite overlords.
Serve them well, chump, and maybe we’ll sell you some waders.
Dusty on December 27, 2007 at 3:06 PM
Personally, I’d buy on the coast now and when the flood comes and takes it, I’ll just move into a nice cushy hotel room in another city (paid for by all the liberals). Maybe I can be his neighbor just to annoy him.

There is always that inevitable third group of pessimists like me who see that we are faced with two disasters, a religious one and an environmental one, Scylla and Charybdis, Islam and out of control species loss due to human overpopulation. The sooner we deal with the evil that is Islam, the sooner we can deal honestly with the environment. I fear there is little hope for serious discussion of the environment until Islam is confronted.
And yes to a large extent, global warming is just a silly way to avoid dealing with any real issue.

That’s what I thought. At first I thought he was a crazy apocalyptic Christian guy preaching hellfire for liberal environmentalists, like that church in Kansas that was protesting at military funerals.
All I have to say is “wow,” just “wow.”
Remember those bumperstickers?
SPLIT WOOD, NOT ATOMS
But now: the atom is our friend, and the CO2 in wood, coal, oil, gas, soda pop, and cow farts is our enemy. Instead of apocalyptic global cooling, we have apocalyptic global warming!
silverfox on December 27, 2007 at 3:52 PM
To be fair, we have Glenn Beck saying some people deserved to have their lives destroyed by the So Cal fires. But a lot of us called him an a**hole for that. Those that read the Baltimore Chronicle will probably agree with Lindorrf.
mram on December 27, 2007 at 5:00 PM
Obviously this guy saw too many sc-fi movies.
SIJ6141 on December 27, 2007 at 5:48 PM

Thanks for the link Quisp.

This sick little masturbatory fantasy is typical of the “tolerant” liberal mindset.
packsoldier on December 27, 2007 at 9:03 PM
Notice how liberals are a lot like leaders of cults? Only they have special knowledge not available to the ignorant masses. And if you disagree with them, you only reveal your ignorance and show why every aspect of your life must be controlled by them.

David on December 27, 2007 at 10:32 PM
ctmom on December 27, 2007 at 12:47 PM
technically nothing, because we are still in the present ice age. The last advance of the glaciers was the shortest ever in geologic history. therefore it is more likely that we are in a warming period between ice advances. Question: when Ny city and philly is covered in ICE can we down in the South gerrymander those refugees in so we no longer have to hear the nutcases and all their PC crap??
unseen on December 27, 2007 at 11:15 PM
this guy has no idea what he is talking about. He has no grasp of population, geography, or geology. Last time I checked a map, the higest part east of the Mississippi river was the Appilachians Mts. Now I don’t think The Lorrata Lynns of the world are exactly who the author had in mind to benefit from global warming but IF the worse comes to past and NYC is flooded out. That’s more than 8 million people homeless. To put that in prespective the entire population of North Carolina is est in 2006 to be 8.6million. Thus the conservatives would have to lose an entire state to compare to the devastation the liberals would feel if just one city goes under. Add into that the major population centers on the east and west coasts (most vote straight liberal) would be wiped out.
How many Iowa’s can we lose before we suffer as much loss as these major cities represent for the democrates? To futher add insult to injury for this stupid author all of the east coast including VA, NC, SC and parts of GA have a major mountian range going thru their state so the high ground is there for all red and blue alike if needed.
Also due to global warming the climate will change thereby causing any long range forcasts to be worthless.

Can we get him to use is scientific reasoning to tell us exactly where the new coastline will be? I’d like to get a head start on buying some beachfront property.

That would be the foothills of the two major mountian ranges.

I just had a big email ready to fire off to the Baltimore Chronicle about that NuttyBuddy …
Then I found that the whole left side of their page here:
http://www.baltimorechronicle.com/2007/122407Lindorff.shtml
Is devoted to pieces with titles that would be worthy of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Thus, it is not worth it. I don’t think my email would get through to anyone with a brain in their head.
