Steven Hayward at The Claremont Institute has a fine article which discusses the nexus between environmental fanaticism and politics. The essay combines thoughtful analysis with deadly fisking. Here is David Shearman, co-author of The Climate Change Challenge and the Failure of Democracy:
"To retain an inhabitable earth we may have to compromise the eternal vicissitudes of democracy for an informed leadership that directs. There are countries that fall within this requirement and we should use them to initiate more active mitigation.... The People's Republic of China may hold the key to innovative measures that can both arrest the expected surge in emissions from developing countries and provide developed nations with the means to alternative energy. China curbs individual freedom in favour of communal need. The State will implement those measures seen to be in the common good." To which Hayward responds, "Perhaps the film version will be called An Inconvenient Democracy."
A cleaner, greener earth brought to you by the good people of the global police state.
Nothing is preordained, nothing is inevitable - it only seems that way once the cell door closes on you. Wake. Up.

Someone has never studied the accomplishments of that People's Republic. One of my enjoyments is to read of the latest inventive devices from certain countries (IRAN!!!) (CHINA) to determine from where the device was stolen. If China has made any significant development worth imitating, I wish someone would reveal such.
China ≠ Innovation.
Cheers
The last significant innovation from China was fireworks.
TW: farty. This describes the watermelons succinctly, as their philosophy stinks.
Bets that Comrade Chumley sees himself as one of the enlightened dictators and not one of the proles?
No? Dang.
