It is a moral failure, because Cult of Climastrology members refuse to live their lives in accord with their supposed beliefs. However, that’s not what Warmist Paul Andersen means
(Aspen Times) It took a Quaker Friends meeting in Aspen to clarify why climate change is a moral issue and that we’re failing it as a nation.
Were I not allergic to structured religion, I would become a Quaker and further their missions to end war, ensure equality and advocate for “Earth restored.†Climate change factors in on all three issues.
The intersection of organized religion with an organized cult.
The Quakers’ biggest challenge is to convince voters and legislators that climate change is being accelerated by human agency. Only then can climate become a moral issue by showing that our actions are harming other people and future generations who will bear the costs of changes to natural resources and degradation to the global environment.
They could start by providing rock hard evidence. And practicing what they preach
Accepting personal culpability for climate change is routinely denied because to do so would impose the grievous discipline of tempering our excessive lifestyles. Most Americans prefer to live by the Bush Sr. doctrine so recklessly stated in Kyoto, Japan, in 1992, where the president said, “The American lifestyle is not negotiable.â€
Most Warmists prefer to force Other People to live the Warmist belief set, not themselves.
Since climate change is a moral issue, it becomes immoral to wantonly spew carbon into the atmosphere. No longer can overconsumption be seen as a birthright. No longer can we dismiss the moral implications of multiple-home ownership, private jets, mega-trucks, SUVs and a litany of gluttonous habits.
Huh. I guess most Warmists are immoral.

Hit that link and ask if Mr. Andersen and the Aspen Times will be “moral”.
Teach you are using a straw man argument
Unless every person who believes in climate change goes carbon neutral
You will not take their science seriously
The USA is already reducing its carbon footprint it is better for the many to do a little than the few do a lot.
What warmer press releases do not make clear is that there is no conclusive evidence for AGW. Therefore, the consensus argument is made.
Michael Crichton weighs in on this argument:
Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world.
In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period.
Finally, I would remind you to notice where the claim of consensus is invoked. Consensus is invoked only in situations where the science is not solid enough. Nobody says the consensus of scientists agrees that E=mc2. Nobody says the consensus is that the sun is 93 million miles away. It would never occur to anyone to speak that way.
