Conor Cruise O’Brien’s observation that “conflicts don’t have solutions – they have outcomes.”

The global warming religion is splitting into two as a result of the recent scandals engulfing by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and I see that split accelerating, and ultimately causing a fundamental change to the global warming religion.

On the one hand, you have the high priests of the global warming faith, like Elizabeth May and David Suzuki and Al Gore, who squawk about "climate catastrophe" and insist that unless action is taken right now, we’re all doomed! 

We’ll call these people the Option A crowd.

On the other hand, you have a growing chorus of scientists who see the IPCC as having become hopelessly compromised by recent (and ongoing) scandals.  This group wants to re-establish the scientific credibility of the IPCC, and of the discipline of climatology itself.  But they admit that this will take years, and that it will mean re-introducing scientific uncertainty into a topic that has been dominated by ironclad pronouncements of "truth" from the pseudo-religious leadership of the Option A team.

These scientists make up what I will call Option B.

Interesting.

• Story ignored by the MSM, I suspect.
• Example of “Islamophobic” hysteria?
• Is the story being exploited, and the danger being exaggerated, by the likes of Pamela Geller?
• Am I personally uneasy reading these stories? Not wanting to appear to buy in to anti-Islam tropes?
• Or is there more than a kernel of truth here?
