Waddaya get when you cross a chameleon with an anaconda?
Or, to put it another way, how much trouble can we get into, playing around with genetic engineering?
I don’t know who created this video, but it features an A++ David Attenborough impersonation. Careful, though: it might be the real thing.
Is it absolutely necessary to say that there is no point whatsoever in worrying about a chameleon-anaconda hybrid?
Glug-glug-glug! We’re all gonna drown because of Climbit Change! More power to the government!
(Thanks to Susan for the nooze tip.)
The Far Left is scratching its head over its inability to weed out “Climate Change denialism” (https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2024/04/041824-narain-climate-change-disbelief). Why don’t people believe in Climbit Change–the great boogie-man of our age?
Sheesh! Let me count the ways! Or don’t I have the space to do that here?
*Everybody knows (except college professors) that the earth’s climates always fluctuate and have always done so. Ice Age, anybody? Remember when they were trying to scare us with the new Ice Age?
*Dukechronicle.com cites a “distrust in… all of science as a whole.” (Remember the equation: Science + Politics = Politics.) They link this to “a distrust in people.” Not just any people, says I. Many of us can’t trust Democrats under any circumstances, and Democrats are the ones pushing Climbit Change. They do it to get their grubby hands on our money and to accrue power to themselves at our expense.
Forsooth, there is “a broken relationship between the ivory tower–” another crowd pushing Climbit Change for all they’re worth–“and very much the rest of the world.”
*If you trust the colleges and universities, there’s something wrong with you.
They’ve been hitting us over the head with their alarmism for years now, every day. If they had their way, they’d set up re-education camps for those of us who doubt their word. And they still can’t close the deal! You’d think that’d tell them something, wouldn’t you?
Takeaway lesson: Never, never, never give in to Far Left Crazy.
We’ll be very, very sorry if we do.
Why do “gays” etc. have higher cancer rates than persons who are not “gay”–presuming, of course, that they really do have higher cancer rates and it’s not just another lie meant to make us feel guilty so we’ll give them whatever they want?
Wait for it…
“Traditional values,” that’s why! Break out the homophobia confetti! It’s your crummy traditional values and my crummy traditional values that cause “stress” among the poor sodomites (oops!), which stress in turn makes them more vulnerable to cancer. Our values, our fault!
So says the American Cancer Society, posing as some kind of “science” outfit. (Sorry for the quotation marks. They are necessary, in examining and discussing the mental gymnastics of leftids.)
Oh! And of course, of course, of course–“People of Color hardest hit!” Goes without saying, doesn’t it? Lay it on the POCs.
If I were contributing money to the ACS… I wouldn’t anymore.
[What “values”do they think we should have?]
Sandwiches? Sandwiches cause Global Warming/Climbit Chainge?
Now would the University of Manchester say something like that if it weren’t true? (Hint: Of course.) No ship, sandwiches are the equivalent of 6 million cars. Honest! So stop eating sandwiches and start eating bugs. I mean, if you can’t believe Algore, the World Economic Forum, and Manchester University, who can you believe? Would any of these people lie to you? (Hint: Only when their lips are moving.)
The Climbit Change Crowd like to have it both ways: if the weather’s hot, it’s Global Warming/Climate Change; and if the weather’s cold, it’s Climate Change. Heads they win, tails we lose.
Government’s job, its mission, is to scare us into giving it more and more power over our lives. Why anyone should want this–ask the Devil, he knows.
No, it doesn’t have to be consistent, or make any kind of sense. It just has to be scary. A good scare will always whip the plebs into line.(See COVID, End of World, etc.)
(Go on! Tell him to his face!)
The scientific world was rocked for, oh, eight or nine minutes in 2017 when a “scholar” claimed that a lot of vikings were Muslims. It was a ridiculously flimsy argument that lost no time getting blown out of the water.
The new pseudo scientific method: First announce what you mean to discover, then announce that you’ve discovered it. Forget those intervening steps.
That’s the theme of my Newswithviews piece today, coming right up.
This is a cautionary tale: how pure crapola winds up being exalted as “Science.” As in “Follow the science!” And “The Science is settled–so shut up!”
We saw The London Times completely taken in by a supposed “social scientist” who had no advanced degrees in anything and whose “published scientific papers” were, in fact, published in an amateur magazine.
I checked. I talked to the Times reporter and to the man who published the magazine. They admitted to having been gulled. But in the meantime this guy was all over the place, babbling about how Science “proves” that “religiosity”–by which he means Christianity–is bad. For a couple of weeks there, he was media royalty.
Yes, you should be skeptical of “science.”
And the media.
What could be more “scientific” than the endorsement of an untold multitude of doctors?
I’m not even sure what “science” means anymore. And it seems like some of our scientists aren’t, either.
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.
The bunkmeister speaks!
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.
One’s “gender,” he bloviates–and the whole science of biology– “is subordinate to the gender they display in their clothes and makeup” (https://www.breitbart.com/health/2023/08/02/watch-science-explainer-degrasse-tyson-converts-transgenderism/). Oh! So what you wear determines what you are?
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.
One man’s “science” is another man’s snake oil.
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?
There is no one as anti-human as a humanist. We do we flood our airwaves with ’em? Why does anybody care what Bill Nye says?
(Note: I see that now that COVID has subsided, they’re piling back onto the Climbit Chainge Express.)
