A policy guide.

We must remember our mantra, global warming exists, humans cause it, and without Al Gore, all would be lost.
Dissenters must be met with scorn and derision, and the views of Gore and our friends must be accepted without question by the public, the media, and politicians. We know Political consensus is a precursor to public action. Our politicians and supportive industries know this, and we know we cannot afford to tolerate dissent. Dissent weakens our message of doom without which the public fear cannot be raised. The new Global warming theology, aims to give people doubt and scare them about the future. Remember confusion, doubt and fear are our essential weapons. It may not be the best science, but it is good politics.
There is no justified skepticism about the science behind global warming. Scientists who claim an over-reliance on complex computer modeling that reacts wildly to incremental change in assumptions must be scorned. Climatologists, who claim that the processes of climate change are not sufficiently understood to support predictions about the climate with certainty, must be mocked. Scientists, who say that the necessary empirical data has not yet been collected, must be chided. Climatologists and scientists, who believe that our climate-models are not yet precise enough, must be silenced, and engineers who think our computers don’t have adequate processing power to run the extraordinarily complex models that climate science requires, must be defunded.
We know that scientific inquiry will be led by the researcher and the availability of funding. This is well-known. We must make sure funding is available for pro-global warming researchers, while cutting off funding for any who are not on board. There must be grants for producing our data and none for contemplation.
We cannot allow debate, now that we have our "consensus." However informed the critical voices are, they must be met with disdain. We must squelch scientific truth seeking. It's all for a good cause.
It's not merely a good cause just for supporters of global warming with projects and agendas to profit from it. The adoption of our theories also provides a convenient means to grow our movement. We could make new and ever expanding global bureaucracies at will. We can make climate change a pretext for massive new central-planning structures and policy changes we could not have otherwise. We will be able to subordinate the economic freedom of all the industrialized countries to a War on Carbon. It will be start of a new era of wealth redistribution like we have only dreamed of.
Do not worry that climate change has been occurring for 4 billion years, or that it will continue. The slightest evidence to suggest that human activity has anything to do with climate change is all we need. We can move forward if we pretend to be sure. Climate science is far from simple; but we cannot let our agenda be held back by scientific inquiry and debate.
