"For far too many climate activists, mitigation has always been a Trojan Horse."
"[For] the true revolutionaries ... global warming has always been the most wonderful excuse for imposing the sort of regime to which nobody who believes in individual rights, private property, and the Rule of Law would ever willingly submit. In the grim summation of George Orwell: 'Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.' For far too many climate activists, mitigation has always been a Trojan Horse."
~ Chris Trotter, the "moderate revolutionary," from his post 'Adapting to Climate Change'

and when mitigation proposals either are not liked (nuclear power) or lack evidence they will be effective (intercity passenger trains), the advocates get all evasive, because basically they just want to ban the former and promote the latter because they don't like one and like the other - emissions don't matter. The war on cars is not motivated by climate change.
