Climate change and the Fabian Society : Comments

By Don Aitkin, published 14/7/2015

The Fabians in Australia seemed to me for a long time to be sort of think-tank for the ALP, but from the incremental rather than the socialist wing. But I now see that there has been a subtle change in the way they present themselves.

generally the gullible beat up the fantasy (gw) and downplay people being beheaded and bombed to bits.

Cobber the hound
Again you go off in tangents.. The situations of asbestos and climate are in no way analogous. It took a while for proof to be accepted in asbestos, but in climate they jumped straight from an indication to accepted orthodoxy which is now main stream, no argument allowed. In fact, the only reason you cited asbestos is because its an emotive subject and it sounded good. Right? But I suspect I'm wasting my time with reason.

Anyway, many organisations have been captured by the global warmers. In fact, if you wanted to be mischevious you could point to similarities with the Bolsheviks takeover in Russia, where comparatively small numbers of disciplined party members were able to take over much larger organisations..

Did I read this correctly?

Don Aitken writes that he joined the society in the 1960s or so and never attended a meeting?

And now he's writing missives to them because they don't agree with his contrary opinion on climate change?

The Fabians are certainly correct in that they do not determine what is essentially a scientific consensus. Also, it seems that they are correct in that they may not be the organisation he would like them to be. But then, he never attended a meeting, so why is that no so surprising?

It's not hard to determine the delusional ones in this little saga.

It seems clear that Fabian economics usually involves filling the pockets of unionist and spending a countries money to bankruptcy. Gough/Rudd/Gillard appeared devout disciples.

Seems clear from what evidence, runner?

What do you expect from an organisation who's logo is a wolf in sheeps clothing?
