It is easy to see that the Democrats were the victims not only of their incompetence but also of corruption in science -- corruption that has a considerable amount of Democrat effort put into it.
Here is an example from the past: In the mid-1980s, I was invited to an international scientific conference in Moscow relating to environmental pollution. It was obvious from the abstracts published before the opening of the conference that human civilization was guaranteed to die out by the year 2000 because of pollution. I was young, believed in science, and so upset that even my boss noticed. When he found out the reason for my bad mood, he laughed for a long time. He explained to me that most of these “reliable forecasts” are simply mathematical and computer models that have little in common with reality.
To my reasonable remark about why these unscrupulous scientists frighten the people, he replied that these scientists are quite respectable citizens, and they were not going to frighten the people. Their goal is to make their governments be “deep in thought.” In other words, to continue generously funding such kind of “research.” In order to survive, scientists need a specific set of skills in dealing with politicians and bureaucrats. As long as there is a demand from political charlatans, there will be a supply of the “scientific” plankton that they need.
The so-called “global warming” of the 1990s was the result of a computer model that succeeded the model of “global cooling” from the 1970s that was wrong. These models have been constructed on the basis of “adjusted” temperature data from ground stations, and are so malleable as to generate the famous “hide the decline” email between leading climatologists. However, the ill-fated Green New Deal is based on this hoax.

Follow the money....
It all in Washington D.C...
Crooks all..
At least the Causeway (that is what that looks like; correct me if I’m wrong) does go to the north shore of Lake Ponchatrain.
What are you talking about? Speak English, please.
Lake Ponchatrain is a lake in Louisiana; the Causeway is the 26 mile bridge that crosses it to the north shore.
And....?
The north shore is St. Tammany parish where a lot of the wealthier people are moving to to get away from the high crime rates of New Orleans.
