According to Gregory of Yardale at moonbattery.com:
In the name of ManBearPig, we've already decided to sacrifice truth (e.g. the East Anglia climate studies) and capitalism, now, uber-Moonbat James Lovelock suggests its time to throw Democracy onto the bonfire.
One of the main obstructions to meaningful action is "modern democracy", he added. "Even the best democracies agree that when a major war approaches, democracy must be put on hold for the time being. I have a feeling that climate change may be an issue as severe as a war. It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while."
As we know from Thomas Friedman and Chairman Zero's gushing praise of Chinese authoritarianism, what the progressive left really wants is the end of this messy business in which people have a say in their governance. The war against the Phantom Menace of Manbearpig is just the excuse.

Since when?! We have gone through 2 world wars and countless minor wars and yet not once have we been forced to abandon democracy. And he expects us to believe that a possible ecological disaster, not even a real military conflict, requires us to abandon our democracy.
