Delingmole?
James Delingpole of the Telegraph has been a stalwart satirist fighting the Carbon Cult. Today he did something completely inscrutable: he published approvingly a pro-Cult article written by someone else. No sign of satire; appears that Delingmole fully agrees with the guest post.
The article starts by fully supporting the basic lie of the Cult: that "the science is settled". From there, it tries to say that we aren't going to "solve" the "settled problem" anyway, so we don't need to worry.
This is objectively indistinguishable from the demented screechings of Gaian High Priest Hansen.
As Polistra said earlier about squishy-ass pansy-ass bitch-ass sissy-ass Repooflicans:
What the hell is Delingpole doing? Did he simply fail to read the guest post, or has he surrendered to the enemy? ¶ 5:41 PM

Murkowski also exhibited the same shit-faced cowardice, saying the science is not the point.
Think of a member of the German Reichstag in 1937, trying to oppose the goals of the National Socialists while simultaneously granting that the eugenic "science" of Herr Professor Doktor Alfred Rosenberg was completely valid, that Jews and Slavs were incurably inferior and dangerous. You can't have it both ways. You can't support the diagnosis and oppose the cure. If you won't argue against the theory that Jews and Slavs are dangerous, then you can't honestly argue against Hitler's elimination of Jews and Slavs. And if you won't argue against the theory that CO2 is dangerous, then you can't honestly argue against Atmungsführerin Lisa Jackson's elimination of CO2.
