Arrogant and naive. Man over-powering nature is a hoax.
The domination of nature seems to go ith the belief that the natural world was a gift to mankind to dispose of as we see fit. spalinns follow naturally from this, I suppose. These might well be spalin NonSense hoaxes:
The Zuider Zee: a Dutch hoax.
The Thames Barrier: a British hoax perpetrated by paid friends of Tony Blair.
Alzheimer's: a hoax perpetrated by Margaret Thatcher.
The Aswan dam: a hoax perpetrated by Israel.
The most frightening denials may have come from medical doctors in Vienna: unless the suicide of Semmelweis was a hoax.
The draining of the Everglades by the US Corps of Engineers: a hoax perpetrated by Yankee real-estate speculators opposed to the inevitable election of George W. Bush.
