Purpose-Driven Political Science
Do you believe that climate change is the existential threat, literally meaning that it poses the end of human existence on earth? C'est tout fini as the French would say. To make that claim is certainly the most horrific assertion one can render. It, in essence and in the end, charges that climate change will kill all life on earth.
Then to allege that “time is running out” or the “point of no return is near”. That is an absolutely shocking claim. It is no wonder people, especially children, and younger adults are suffering from the critical mental disorder of ‘climate despair” or “eco-anxiety”.
Or is your belief a conviction of convenience and loyalty knowing it is a component of the doctrine of your chosen political party?
I very much doubt many will “truthfully and honestly” assert that climate change is the impending existential threat. They are words to confiscate the perception, consideration, and participation for, and in, a political cause. If climate change was real, a bona fide danger, we would all immediately surrender many or all of life’s pleasures and desires to impede the menace.
Do you as a believer surrender and fully submit to the cause? You say you “trust the science” – a science you have likely never read or have come close to understanding. Have you ever read the advocate science as well as the immeasurable rebuttals against it? No, just what David Attenborough tells you in his totally slanted BBC television documentaries or the distorted CBS “60 Minutes” reports by climate campaigners Scott Pelley and Leslie Stahl.
Climate change is not about science, scientific parameters, or a belief in any of it, but rather more about conformity - being in compliance with the perceived majority. When one is compliant to a preponderance of the masses then one indolently acquiesces with the bulk of society and thus avoids acquiring adversaries or enemies – this makes for lethargic, but safe thinking.
However . . .
One cannot circumvent the extensive history and geology of the earth especially as it relates to warming, cooling, and the countless variations in an ever-changing climate. One cannot abstain from knowing about much hotter environments and those that extended for decades or even centuries. One cannot hide the knowledge of times when carbon dioxide levels were very much higher than at present.
One cannot escape the years of inconsistencies, equivocations, and failures associated with the global warming theory. One cannot evade the failed predictions and prophecies and the subsequent vast wealth captured by loud-mouth climate profiteers. One cannot avoid the ongoing hypocrisies of the political climate campaigners and the absence of unbiased news reporting.
There are falsified claims of increased storms of every type and their elevated intensities. There are the lies of escalating floods, droughts, wildfires, sea level rise, and the unfounded uptick in loss of human life in a deteriorating natural environment. These are all discredited by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and even the highly-suspect United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In other words, they are discredited by their own advocates.
Manipulated computer models and temperatures constantly run hot and as recently discovered by researchers Timothy Del Sole of George Mason University and Michael Tippett of Columbia University, when compared to observations, almost every CMIP5 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (version 5) failed. Furthermore, temperatures have been dropping since 2016, and prior thereto were stagnant for several years. As uncovered by Anthony Watts, and recently reported, 96% of surface weather stations in the United States failed the standards set by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Just like his first survey in 2009, the highest majority of these stations had widespread corruption and heat biases. They were never fixed or relocated to temperature-neutral locations.
A real telling narrative in the advocate climate change campaign is their failure to ever debate climate change with the abundance of refuting scientists. It is further revealing that they will never discuss, confer or negotiate nuclear energy – the one truly reliable energy that emits no carbon dioxide and the perfect compromise. It is as if there is an objective and desire for their imagined climate condition to continue – but why?
If climate change was truly the existential threat, and the resolute concession would be to employ nuclear energy with the safety of thorium as the fuel, as well as carbon capture, would you not want those as the immediate solution to save your life and that of your family and friends? It is as if there is an objective and desire for their imagined climate condition to simply continue – again, but why?
The climate crusaders continue to support unreliable renewable sources as the answer to climate change, yet even in this short term they have all been proven to be extremely costly, inconsistent, intermittent, and requiring a full restructuring of the electrical infrastructure– as well it requires the expensive de-mothballing and maintaining of fossil fuels energies as backup.
Malthusians have predicted for over three centuries that society would ultimately collapse and people would eventually die. They have claimed all this time that the world’s growing population could not continue because of the inability to feed everyone. The ingenuity and genius of the human mind have always won out, yet, we are seeing now emptying store shelves because banning fossil fuels is creating, not a climate crisis, but a food crisis. When tractors do not run, fertilizers are not made, and irrigation systems don’t work, farmers do not produce and the people do not eat.
You are directed to avoid beef and thus shun the livelihood of the rancher. No longer are burps and farts simply an amusing matter in stories and jokes. Nothing is funny with the climate campaigner – to them, climate change has increased and comedy decreased. The world is now a totally serious place as we set ourselves to apparently burn in the divisive heat of global warming and the self-righteous warning of campaigner advocacy.
Anthropogenic climate change is not an existential threat to humanity; the real threat is the lunacy, neurosis, and madness of endeavoring to fix a falsehood using deceptive moral superiority, misleading manipulation, and purpose-driven political science.
My favorite quote in this matter remains one by Dr. John Christy, a Climatologist at the University of Alabama, Huntsville who collects temperature data using satellites. Relative to anthropogenic climate change Christy says, “Here we have a science that’s so dominated by personalities that claim the science is settled, yet when you walk up to them and say prove it, they can’t.”
Exactly!
