It seems like there’s a new article appearing almost daily on the Internet with new and shocking evidence that the entire manmade global warming story has been a hoax. But is anyone really listening or doing anything about it?....Maybe we need to borrow some strategy from the left and start attacking the messenger. Every 25 to 35 years the same cast of characters starts whining about the coming climate catastrophe, and each and every time they’ve been proven wrong. So why on earth do we even listen to them? For the last 20 years or so, the propaganda has been pretty consistent:
My Take - So...which catastrophic scare do they really believe in? The global cooling scare of the 70's that was going to plummet the Earth into the depths of a new Ice Age. Or perhaps they prefer the latest philosophical flavor of the day, which is a warming scare that is going to flood the Earth and fry all life?
The cooling predictions turned out to be a gigantic bust and now it certainly looks as if the warming scare is also a gigantic bust. Only the warming bust is based on fraud so massive that someone most assuredly should go to jail. RK
HMMM.
ReplyDeleteShould I believe the 6 popular-press articles in the 70's about impending ice age or the 45 papers of the same period talking about global warming or should I believe the 10,000 studies produced over the last 3 decades regarding the proven properties of CO2? Decisions decisions.
Ten thousand weak studies; studies that are conclusions in search of data; studies that data dredge; studies that are shown to be fraudulent are no comparison to history. Everything we are told should bear some resemblance to what we see going on in reality. History has shown us that not only has this happened since the 70’s….we saw the same kind of scare mongering back to the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s.
ReplyDelete“From the late 1800's through the 1920's Americans were convinced via the print media that we were heading for the next Ice Age. Yes, Global Cooling! In 1895 the New York Times (the paper of record) wrote, "Geologists think the world may be frozen up again". In 1912 the L.A. Times reported, "The fifth Ice Age is on the way". Chicago Tribune, 1923, "Scientists say Arctic Ice will wipe out Canada all the way down to the Great Lakes". 1924, New York Times, "Signs of a new Ice Age". This reporting continued through the balance of the '20's.”
This historical background should automatically make any intelligent person question anything about uncontrolled climate change, and most assuredly when the scare mongers claim it is being caused by humanity.
The only difference between then and now is that there wasn’t a sugar daddy like the federal government promoting and funding this nonsense. Take the funding away and global warming will be forgotten as quickly as the next bad winter…..because reality shows it is nonsense.
By the way….your comment is a logical fallacy known as the appeal to authority; and it was smarmy! I don’t like smarmy….I don’t mind disagreement but I don’t allow smarmy. Don’t do that again or you will not be allowed to post.
