Worship of Chicken Little

Henny Penny, also known as Chicken Little, is a folk tale with a moral in the form of a cumulative tale about a chicken who believes the world is coming to an end. The phrase The sky is falling! features prominently in the story, and has passed into the English language as a common idiom indicating a hysterical or mistaken belief that disaster is imminent.

A few weeks ago, James Lovelock, the Chicken Little of global warming, told the asininely liberal cable news channel  msnbc.com he had been unduly “alarmist” about climate change.

Chickenman was a world-renowned scientist and environmentalist whose Gaia theory — that the Earth operates as a single, living organism — has had a profound impact on the development of global warming theory.

From the Toronto Sun Newspaper:

Having observed that global temperatures since the turn of the millennium have not gone up in the way computer-based climate models predicted, Lovelock acknowledged, “the problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago.” Now, Lovelock has given a follow-up interview to the UK’s Guardian newspaper in which he delivers more bombshells sure to anger the global green movement, which for years worshipped his Gaia theory and apocalyptic predictions that billions would die from man-made climate change by the end of this century.

Chickenman now says it’s clear the doomsday predictions, including his own (and Al Gore’s) were incorrect.
