David G. Victor is a professor at the University of California at San Diegos School of Global Policy & Strategy and a co-director of the Initiative on Energy and Climate at the Brookings Institution. Nick Obradovich is a research scientist at MITs Media Laboratory. Dillon J. Amaya is a PhD student at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Joseph Goebbels was a German politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945.
“You are skeptical of our political ideology? I guess your brain doesn’t work right. Don’t worry. We can fix you ...”
David: you have no provable evidence that anything you are whining and moaning about actually exists. It IS our brains: everyone is born with an innate bullshit meter. And ours get redlined when it hears crap like yours.
Cuz we’re not stupid??
There isn’t a person on earth now or forevermore who knows what the temperature of the earth should be at any point in time and space. It’s an impossibility.
400 plus scientific papers asserting that man made climate change is a myth. and not the myth that rolls in with the tide, this guy’s claims are evidence of a small mind.
Heh heh, because our brains have evolved to reject bulls#it!
Another condescending lecture by climate alarmists.
And to think it took three people to write this tripe.
You can point fingers at the influence of fossil fuel companies,...
So oil companies have Hurricane generating machines?
The Trees have no problem ,their leaves are changing right on time
lol
yeah.. that’s it... it’s our BRAIN’s that are preventing us from believing your LIES !!!
lol
Right on cue. Climate change noise about the Gulf hurricanes. Crickets about those dad-blammmed Cali wild fires. Get in the harness and put on the yoke because humanity (specifically tax-paying Americans) is to blame for hurricanes. But...eh, never mind about wild fires. Just keep shoveling the Fed dollars for fires that have a high likelyhood of being started by arsonists or careless campers.
You have a better chance of managing the land to reduce the damage caused by wildfires than you do about hurricanes that have no proven human agency for their creation. But even there, you can manage where and how structured are built to avoid or bettter withstand them.
Send David G. Victor to live in Montana or North Dakota for a few years and send Nick Obradovich to Siberia for the same period. See if that doesn’t change their thinking on the subject. Make sure to give them a battery booster as a going away present.
At the bottom of the article there is a poll.
“Do you agree or disagree with this article?
100% disagree
We find it hard to grapple with “global warming” because the predictions keep failing to come true. The models of the AGW advocates are flawed, but instead of questioning their premises, they keep trying to adjust their models.
Actually, we are well-wired to act on complex statistical "whatever" (why did he say "risks"?--it is not in the risk domain at all). We are well-wired to simplify complex statistics, but we are also wired to reject statistics (such as Louis Farrakhan's "19" mazes) when they are being used to obscure and obfuscate the truth in favor of some sophistry.
So I would ask: what statistics? How were the data gathered, where, and for how long? What is the margin of error or deviation? Were the data interpolated through observation, or via computer model (garbage in, garbage out)?
Your too stupid and ignorant to understand global warming; just leave it to the “experts” who insist that “all” scientists agree it is a “human-caused” & “alarming” development.
I would say that was sarcasm if it was not essentially the opinion of people like the authors of that piece.
Science uses the scientific method.
Climate “science” uses computer models.
Computer models do not use the scientific method.
Computer models are the digital equivalent of reading chicken entrails.
Why do Left-wing minds grapple with the reality that reading digital chicken entrails is not science?
Our brains are capable of learning about previous ice ages, followed by warming, etc. More than once.
No internal combustion engines, then.
Our minds are capable of skepticism, when political motives are likely in “globull warming” movements.
Our minds are also capable of grasping the futility of trying to hold back major earth changes, since we have historic evidence of their massive power.
Big logic, and big statistics. Observed on this spinning mud ball, with neither a government grant or a PhD.
Because as adults, we outgrow fairy tales.
At least, some of us do.
