So, another embarrassing revelation exposes climate change experts as confused bumble-heads. The latest? Apparently the UN panel on climate change based recent conclusions regarding vanishing ice from mountain tops on anecdotes found in a “mountaineering” magazine. Uh Huh. Now, this would be hilarious, if it wasn’t for the fact that quadrillions of dollars are at stake. (And just so you know: quadrillions can buy a lot of votes for some people.) But I’m not going to use this latest revelation to hammer these “experts,” even though they’d do that to a “skeptic” like me, if they had the chance. I just want to nail two key points:
1) this news shows exactly why climate change researchers must release data and reveal methods. If they have nothing to hide, then their work’s credibility will only increase. The fact that they’re trying to avoid that makes me think they’re basing their data on articles from say.....Cosmo Magazine. (FYI: global warming can and does make it harder to find your g-spot, says Darla, age 23, data analyst.)
2) There are few real experts on climate change – only pawns used to justify policies that will inevitably sodomize our economy. By the way, I include myself as a non-expert. I'm a drummer and have spent most of my adult life staring into bright lights and wondering what city I'm in.
But this is a good thing: whether you think humans cause global warming or not, we’re all in this boat of ignorance together, and therefore should be more tolerant of opposing views. If so-called experts are culling mountain ice data from Penthouse Letters (apparently melting glaciers totally cause chicks to remove their tops faster, says Vic, 25, a pizza deliveryman), then we are all so-called experts.
That should make you happy.
But this should make you sad:
HE DID IT AGAIN!
On January 28th, President Obama traveled to Tampa, FL. This is how he greeted the mayor of Tampa, an American city the last time I checked. These gratuitous displays of public humility suggest a deeper narcissism than previous feared.
Why have these "scientists" thrown the scientific method out the window on this issue? One reason, and one reason only: Greed. Those quadrillions you mention have to go to somebody, and I guess they figure it might as well be them.
ReplyDeleteIs it more honest to not even pretend to manipulate the data, though? Or is dishonesty dishonesty, no matter if it is overt or covert? (Never mind the insult thrown at the public by assuming we're too stupid to figure this stuff out.)
Yes, I believe greed does plays a part in all this. I do think there is much at risk loosing grant moneys, or positions in academia. So much personal capital has been invested to make things look like X, when indeed it is really Y. Makes you wonder what other theories are being protected for the sake of...reputations?
