Madness came to roost in America with the event called global warming. The Dialogues of Sancho and Quixote is a satire of that madness. Spanning the years from 1997 to 2010, this series of Socratic Dialogues lampoons the lies, the absurdities, the spin, and the deliberate blindness of leadership in those years.
For those of you familiar with The Climatebull, you’ll see Sancho and Quixote as its forerunners.
The following are excerpts from the book. Note the date on the first dialogue. It is five years before Katrina...
FROM NOVEMBER 25, 2000 -
SANCHO: “So where are you off to, Quixote?”
QUIXOTE: “We’re closing down our offices in the great state of Louisiana. I’m selling some real estate and liquidating some assets--that kind of thing.”
SANCHO: “Why are your friends selling their real estate holdings in New Orleans?”
QUIXOTE: “I didn’t say that.”
SANCHO: “Did your address get given out to Greenpeace?”
QUIXOTE: “Nope. All I can say, Sancho, is one of the boys from Bermuda Biologicals got a little too loud in a Karaoke bar the other night and so I’m off to liquidate assets.”
SANCHO: “Something going to happen I should know about?”
QUIXOTE: “Where? What do you mean?”
FROM APRIL 3, 2006 -
QUIXOTE: “There is nothing we can do to cope with global warming. We must stay the economic course.”
SANCHO: “First, you say we cannot modify our economic system.”
QUIXOTE: “Precisely, Sancho.”
SANCHO: “Because it is fragile.”
QUIXOTE: “Very.”
SANCHO: “Then you say that when our economic system is battered by climate change, its resiliency will carry us through the tough times.”
QUIXOTE: “Exactly, Sancho.”
SANCHO: “But we can’t adjust its course when it is healthy?”
QUIXOTE: “Now you have it, Sancho.”
FROM AUGUST 2, 2004 -
SANCHO: “Why are you adding baseball base bags to the ocean?”
QUIXOTE: “Look, I do as I am told. They said the ocean was getting too acidic and I should add some bases to it.”
SANCHO: “You are one funny lackey, Quixote. Are you sure they said bases? As in the plural?”
Ever get the feeling media has fed you a pile of nonsense on Climate Change...For decades?
