Everybody knows this by now: If you’re willing to pay for it, you can get a “scientific study” that says anything you want it to say. (“World’s gonna end because of Climate Change! Give us all your money!” “You can be a boy today and a girl tomorrow!” Surely we’ve heard them all.)
Besides which… Today’s science is tomorrow’s hogwash.
As my high school math teacher used to say, “Empty barrels make the most noise.” Boy, did he ever get that right!
In the realm of popularized “science” there’s no emptier barrel than Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Real scientists who just do their work and never get showcased on PBS are not the subject of this essay. They exist, and we are thankful for them. But Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a clanging ding-dong.
Please tell me he doesn’t really believe that. I’ll be charitable, and say he’s only just another empty barrel trying to latch on to current politics: a kind of prostitute who poses as a scientist.
No wonder communists think all it’ll take is one more push and adios, America.
Hey, wouldn’t it be great if all us old folks just fell off our perch and left behind a world full of defenseless young minds for the likes of Bill Nye to play with?
Actually we haven’t seen much of him lately, have we? Has he gotten what he wished on others?
Let’s see… hmm… Experts say New York’s buildings, over a million of ’em, weigh some 1.7 trillion pounds and that’s why they’re sinking. Some 8.4 million people will be increasingly at risk from flooding, hurricanes, and giant monsters stirred up by muclear tests. Yeah–they couldn’t tell the story without bringing in the whole Climate Change book of verses. It’s your fault, people! Trying to live like your betters–no way! Quick, confiscate the gas stoves and the air conditioners!
See? They can never just report a scientific finding. They’ve always got to add a lot of BS bells and whistles which makes the whole thing sound like ca-ca. Then they throw a tantrum ’cause we don’t believe them.
(Update: Our Christmas weekend weather forecast calls for intense cold like you wouldn’t believe. 99% of scientists believe it’s caused by Democrats not having more of your money.)
Remember when they used to call it “Global Warming,” but had to re-label it as “Climate Change” because sometimes it got colder and their “scientific” predictions didn’t come true?
In this post from eight years ago, you’ll meet some Climbit Poobah die-hards who will never give up on “99% of all scientists” etc., etc. Every lie in the book, they fervently believe.
All those dramatic predictions! All that rending of garments and gnashing of teeth! Sea levels gonna rise, rise, rise! And New York and Washington will wind up underwater. The new Atlantis!
Imagine their dismay when the sea levels there actually went down a bit.
None of this has ever been anything but a grab for power and wealth at the general population’s expense. “Give us all yo’ money! Give us all the power! Only then can we save you from Climbit Chains!” (“Don’t you wretched peasants listen to the Settled Science???”)
One wonders just how sad the rest of America would be if New York and Washington went under water.
Our world leaders think we’re stupid. That’s what entitles them to abuse us. But are they as stupid as they think we are?
You bet your topknot they are.
To sell its Climbit Chainge scam, the United Nations Corrupt Dictators Club has produced a video in which a computer-generated dinosaur lectures the General Assembly that “going extinct is a bad thing.”
And it’s all our fault, see, because we burn fossil fuels! Boo! Hiss! Why, everybody knows we have a moral obligation to adopt a 12th-century standard of living! While all our leaders zoom around on private jets, live in colossal mansions that use more electricity in a day than a whole town uses in a week, and plot to reduce our numbers by any means necessary, leaving just enough of us to be their slaves–
I want to scream sometimes.
So they’re gonna sell this deal to us with the aid of a computer-generated dinosaur. Maybe they’ll bring back Barney the Dinosaur to sell it to the kids.
Climate Change! COVID! Systemic racism! Shudder, cringe–only government can save us! By creating fear and panic and then promising to save us.
Just for the record, there is no man-made “climate change.”
Well, I guess there’s something to be said for an imaginary dinosaur to be discussing an imaginary crisis.
Figurines just like the one in the picture above have been found in prehistoric sites all over Southern Europe and the Near East. They have never been found along with writing. That means there’s precious little we can know about them or the people that made them.
That doesn’t stop certain “scientists” from rushing way out on a limb, reconstructing a lost world of “egalitarian agricultural” people ruled over by fat women. Sorry, that’s not science–unless that’s what science has degenerated into, these days. It’s only PC wishful thinking.
They’re still trying to put that whopper across–although now most of their eggs are in the COVID basket. The idea is to terrify people into submission. The goal is to control us. To own us, as it were.
This is why so many of us have so much trouble accepting anything help out to us by hypocrites and liars.
Fake data, made up to serve a political objective–and they want to stick a needle into everybody in the world.
Well, nothing has come of that–yet!–but it does serve to illustrate the limitless vistas of tyranny that dance round and round in leftists’ heads like visions of sugar plums. They eat other people’s freedom. They lust for it.
See, dogs and cats eat meat [shocked gasps from the peanut gallery]. So you gotta have only vegan pets. I have nothing against herbivorous animals, but I can’t see a cow or a sheep thriving in my apartment
Liberals are a menace to human life and sanity.
We really do need to find a way to get them out of our government and our other institutions.
