Half the world is below average intelligence so this is no surprise.
I’ve often wondered...if we hadn’t invented computers (and thus, computer models) would “climate change” even be an issue?
There’s a whole lot of “warning” going on, amidst no evidence, EXCEPT “computer models”.
To me, it’s tantamount to the old cartoons of the bearded, robe-clad man, carrying a “The End Is Near” sign on the street corner.
I'm pretty sure that the author's claim that the Wall Street Journal brought in chimps to throw darts at a wall to which the Journal's stock page had been taped is apocryphal. Not need to bring in chimps when the editorial staff would produce the same results.
This story was invented by the author of "A Random Walk Down Wall St" (pdf of this book is available at link, the chimp story is on page 15).
In my location, the weather forecast for the next day is often wrong, yet leftards want me to trust a forecast 100 years from now
The biggest lie they committed was changing the name to “Climate Change”, rather than what they really mean, which is “Catastrophic, Man-made Global Warming”.
They then use this ambiguous term, Climate Change, to say all you redneck, Bible-Thumping stupid anti-science idiots don’t believe in Climate Change.
No one asserts that the climate doesn’t change. Climate change can mean getting colder, getting warmer, getting wetter or getting drier.
Of course, they ONLY mean getting much warmer and drier, to the point that the polar ice caps melt, fertile lands dry out, and people die in droves. AND—probably their biggest belief—it’s all caused by mankind’s use of fossil fuels.
What is clear, from measurable data, is that the global average temperature has gone up 1 degree Celsius since 1990.
Of course, 1990 as a date is arbitrary but purposefully chosen, from a transitioning colder period to a warmer, to make the rise—the hockey stick Michael Mann invented, look dramatic on a chart.
THEY say the rise is going to continue and we’ll all die.
But is it still rising dramatically, and more important, will it?
That’s where their models come in. They feed data in to the model to get specific results. The data they feed into the model is selected specifically to produce a rapid and catastrophic rise in global temperature and leaves out data (like the Sun) that might mitigate such a rise.
And here we are, us ignorant Republican, religious zealots and haters of science, uneducated, primitive, unsophisticated FReepers who simply won’t go along with the hysteria.
Look up "sensitive dependence upon initial conditions". It is the foundation of chaos theory. It is actual science and math, and shows conclusively that you can't make predictions beyond a fairly limited horizon.
We've known this for decades, yet this fraud still goes forward because
“In fact, the man-caused global warming or climate change panic may well be the best hobgoblin ever conceived.”
Well, actually it wasn’t quite good enough that’s why they came up with man-caused climate change.
AND NOT ONE of the alarmists 'doom and gloom' predictions has come true. NOT ONE.
