The AGW faith

To the shrinking but still faithful believers in Anthropogenic global warming read this:

I do believe that we ought to become more faithful stewards of the natural world around us, as i believe that we ought to live less wastefully and greedily, but the AGW fanatics want to create a Utopian society at the expense of living in a modern society. Plus the great hypocrisy about many of the most vocal proponents is that they often live the most wasteful and excessive lives whilst preaching to others to reign in excess. Ultimately lies such as the AGW scare cause the most harm to the vulnerable rather than the tiny elite, such is always the result of a totalitarian impulse and the current Environmentalist movement appears to more of a Gaia inspired  faith than a genuine attempt to balance living with stewardship.

UPDATE:
Have just read an interesting essay on the Quadrant website written by Alex Stuart about the facts of warming in the atmosphere as opposed to the assumptions garnered from 'modelling'. I offer the concluding paragraph: "Meanwhile, urgent environmental issues threaten millions of people today but, tragically, aren’t given the priority they deserve - because so much focus is misplaced by so many on something so theoretical and long-term as man-made climate catastrophe. We should focus instead on real, urgent, life-threatening issues like preventable disease, lack of fresh water, degradation of the oceans, deforestation and species extinction, while we wait to see what real observational data - not just theory - tells us about the drivers of our changing climate".
