Corrected.
Excellent but horrifying post. What happened to the role of colleges teaching students not what to believe but how to view, evaluate, challenge and think!
I recently saw this in action at the Honolulu’s Bishop Museum.
As I witnessed a presentation at the planetarius, the presenter made note of Venus’s high temperature and said it was indicative of what could happen to earth due to clouds causing a greenhouse effect.
When I spoke up to point out that perhaps Venus is hotter than the earth as it was much closer to the Sun, the venom that came from the presenter when confronted with facts was very discernable, almost to the extent I thought I would have to leave.
From home a few days later, I wrote a letter to the museum director(which was never replied to) and complained on the obvious bias I witnessed.
The idiots remain out there, facts or alternative opinions be damned.
The firm that employs me is currently building satellites to 'prove' and/or shore up the Glo-bull Warming Religion.
If the fraud were fully exposed, these agencies would need to retool and justify their existence far quicker than the speed of bureaucracy allows.
It has become (by design) dogma that can't be recanted easily or cheaply.
And why if the Republicans control the House are these programs still be funded?
What they should be teaching is that the climate’s future at any point in location/time is by definition unknowable.
It’s easy to demonstrate how a small change in input can cause a major change in outcome on the same spot; years later. And that a large change in input can cause no change in outcome on the same spot years later as the change is absorbed somehow.
It’s the science of complex systems.
Now go home and pray.
Ever wonder why you never stop hearing about studies finding GW responsible for everything from kidney stones to cannibalism? Explains Richard Lindzen (Sloan Professor of Meteorology at MIT): "It's become standard that whatever you're studying, include global warming's effects in your proposal and you'll get your (government) funding."
