DELINGPOLE: Trump’s Climate Plans Just Made the Media’s Heads Explode

I’ve just watched the London liberal media’s heads exploding like ripe watermelons.

It was great – a bit like that No Pressure video that the enviro-loons made a few years ago, only better because this time the victims weren’t blameless schoolchildren but grisly, puffed-up, righteously eco, Trump-and-Brexit-hating TV and newspaper Environment Correspondents, all of whom hate my guts. (They hate yours too, so don’t get smug.)

The occasion was a press conference hosted by the Global Warming Policy Foundation for Myron Ebell, head of the Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency transition team. Satan’s Emissary, as liberals prefer to think of him.

Ebell had come to tell them about Trump’s plans for the environment and energy, which I won’t repeat here because you know them already. (It’s going to be beautiful, that’s all you need to remember.)

No, the reason I went wasn’t to hear what Ebell had to say but to watch how his audience reacted.

You know that scene in The Omen when Damien’s parents try to take him into a church? It was a bit like that. Or maybe the one in The Exorcist, where Regan’s head does a 360 degree spin.

I vote getting rid of 100% of the illegals...and stop bestowing citizenship on babies born in America by non-citizen parents. (anchor babies)

All this winning is getting me out of breath.

I remember reading that article in some doctors office at the time.

For humans to understand things, they always produce a “model”. Such a model is always a simplified comparison to something we may already know. For this to work, it may be necessary to ignore possible secondary and tertiary and any other confusing effects which do not seem to be related to what we are trying to explain with the model. Thus early models tend to be not very good. Hopefully, these models do not become dogma as we have seen in the Goreina climate discussion and prevent the hoped for development of better more accurate models.
