Guilt tripping on the AGW merry go round

Another interesting post from the blog recommended by Michael Barone. The post is about a Jewish physicist who is comparing AGW skepticism to holocaust denial. This reminds me of something I posted early on about guilt tripping. It is an emotional manipulation used to provoke the intended reaction. The intended reaction must be the one that Klavan said about how the left just wants you to shut up.

But answering back isn't going anywhere either.  A better solution for the guilt tripping is to ask for their solutions.  And when they propose their solutions, show why yours is better.  The best solution for AGW is to not argue at all, but to replace fossil fuels with the molten salt nuclear reactor- the LFTR.

The guilt trippers and the fear mongers have managed to manipulate everyone into what will be useless argument or a really bad solution.  If carbon dioxide is really that bad for the environment, all of the windmills and solar plants that can be built won't make any difference.  That is because the need for energy is much too great.  Those solutions are not feasible.  The LFTR is.
