"Post-human" is what I call dessert.

OK, the title is a joke about polar bears eating humans. But the protests by the “post-human left” in Copenhagen are evidently not a joke:

Environmentalism, in its current embodiment as the Cult of Global Warming, has become the ultimate weapon of class warfare, except it is no longer class warfare, but species warfare. Say what you will about polar bears or penguins, but unlike every single human minority whose cause the left has tried to appropriate at one time or another—they are not likely to pad in from the North Pole and demand a seat at the table. This has made animal rights and environmentalism the perfect pet cause for the post-human left.

PALO ALTO – Vice President Al Gore has founded a new company through venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins (of which he is a partner) that develops, manufactures and markets scientific consensus to an unwitting public eager to accept credible-sounding theories from impressive-sounding organizations.

The new firm is named Consensa and it is expected initially to focus on climate and earth science, the field in which Gore has become an outspoken global advocate. However, Gore has suggested that the company may branch out into other areas including industrial policy, population control and nutrition.

Consensa counts among its early successes the manufactured consensus that polar bears experience a higher plane of consciousness than humans.
