William Happer, the Cyrus Fogg Brackett Professor of Physics at Princeton University wrote recently:
In 2009 a conference of “ecopsychologists” was held at the University of West England to discuss the obvious psychological problems resident in those who do not adhere to the global warming dogma. The premise of these psychologists was that scientists and members of the general population who express objective doubt about the propagated view of global warming are suffering from a kind of mental illness. We know from the Soviet experience that a society can find it easy to consider dissidents to be mentally deranged and act accordingly.
When Governments introduce unpopular measures (like a carbon dioxide tax) they say that it is for our benefit and for the better future of our children. But the sacrifice is required now, and utopia never arrives.
