Fuckwit spotted…needs gutting

Read this? — what a pile of offal.
Mike Hulme is a cunt who spends his time doing social science as director of the Tyndall Institute.
Hulme plays a media game, and is close to the RCP. Hulme is a regular speaker at RCP/IoI events.
Hulme brushes aside the fact that many of the grand claims made in respect of major climate change are actually plausible. Hundreds of millions could die as a result of global warming. He isn’t that arsed — it doesn’t fit into his ideological framework - so is ignored — he couldn’t give a fuck…
The interesting thinkers and writers are those who can address these issues seriously, assess the risks, look at alternative scenarios, and still come away with some sense of hope. Risk assessment does not equate to determinism. Thus Hulme can fuck off and then come back and fuck off again.
Hulme is following a media/ideological agenda, and his arguments rely on straw men (or Worzel Gummidge). He’s also utterly fucking dull. Dull, dull dull.
Hulme is repellent to the point of repugnance. I would ignore him and find something more interesting to read and comment on if it were there.*
* Obviously, it is if I looked hard enough, but I have not got the time nor patience to do so.
P.S. ‘Open Democracy’ sucks big time. Wank big time. Complete shit.

Risk assessment does not equate to determinism.
Did Marx say that the sun will come out tomorrow?
I think not.
It was Little Orphan Annie.
Environmental critique is therefore not just determinism, but Media Capitalism.

The RCP/LM central idea was to take what everyone thought, spin it and advocate the opposite. Sometimes that works but most times they come over as just taking a position because it’ll piss off loads of people.
Sometimes pissing people off is good but do it too often and you come over like an angsty contrarian teen. And the RCP/LM come across like a bunch of contrarian dorks (not meaning to be critical of dorks).

Does somebody want to tell those of us not too familiar with the ins and outs of UK marxism about the RCP/LM in terms of the basic facts about then…

You fool. The LM/RCP person is Mick Hume, not Mike Hulme. Suggest you try to actually read this piece, and withdraw the kick at Open Democracy, which wouldn’t publish LM/RCP stuff.

No. You’re the fool and the fuckwit.
I know there’s Hume as well as Hulme.
Follow the links supplied in the post and learn to read and then shut your fucking cakehole.
Dipshit.
