Belief in Biblical End Times Stops Climate Change Action

In 1994, our long time friend on HA, Frank Tipler (for it is he!) published a book called The Physics of Immortality in which he claimed to scientifically prove the existence of God, and his sequel (you can never keep a good idea down) called The Physics of Christianity which applies the principles of the Omega Point Theory to the Christian religion where he asserts in the first chapter that the Second Coming of Christ will occur within 50 years, i.e., by 2057.

Any thoughts, Jamie?

Martin is this the right thread for that question? Frank obviously doesn't realise that according to Benjamin Creme, Jesus came back some time ago and lives off Brick Lane somewhere...

More good news about Greenhouse Gases -- ha ha!
Climate [change] science is rejected because it flies in the face of free market fundamentalism. I mean, nothing, absolutely nothing, should impede their free market mathematical models.
And remember economics is a science. But it IS NOT a physical science like, say, physics. So, it's frightening to go forward on these fantasies that put future generations in a precarious position.


Climate milestone is a moment of symbolic significance on road of idiocy:

I have always embraced this issues as a good citizen of the planet but recent data combined with the lack of political will in the world for the first time as a 59 year old I actually think that we may screw it up so bad that I will see that horror in my lifetime.

I can't be alone in this feeling and the captains of industry and power must so how feel they will get first class seating an their way to hell, otherwise WTF are they thinking?

[hippifried]

They're thinking that economic theology trumps everything. "Fuck the kids & grandkids, if the quarterly report is favorable." Suckin' down that kook-aid, wearing blinders of their own making.
