The Climate Change Cherry Orchard, Picked Clean

I'm not in the camp that thinks we still have time to act. Humanity is doomed. Proof is that there are people (like you) who are still denying what the rest of us can see with our own eyes (fires in California and Australia, for example). I guess there is not much difference between this and denying Russian interference in our elections. They both involve denying reality. And seriously bad consequences as a result.

The data doesn't lie unless you ignore the parts of it that you don't like.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Agreed. Does that mean you're going to stop ignoring the parts you don't like?

Thersites said...

You obviously failed to watch the video. :(

I've heard of the climate change denier/conspiracy theorist Tony Heller aka Steven Goodard. The scientists are all lying to us for some reason. Even though it's pretty clear we are not going to do what we need to do to save ourselves. Something they do out of desperation. But there is no desperation if they know they're lying. So... why?

Thersites said...

Presenting the complete data set, instead of a more limited partial data set, is lying? I would have thought that "lying" would be the other way around, ignoring the totality of facts to arrive at a partial (and likely false) conclusion.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

You responded to something I didn't say. I asked why the consensus among climate change scientists is that they should peddle absurd lies. Because it would certainly be absurd to lie in the manner you suggest they are. Such a lie would be easy to uncover and make all the scientists look bad and get fired. Yet many people continue to believe that climate change is occurring. Even if the consensus opinion among the elites (who are making money off dirty fossil fuels) is that we should do nothing about it. What you want (for us to do nothing). STILL you whine.

Chicken Littles were never funded by the federal government before.

...or by Ted Turner's IPCC donations.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

So why the f*ck does the Federal Government subsidize Big Oil? PEANUTS compared to what climate change scientists receive. And you say they'd lose their jobs if they told the truth? So why haven't they reversed course now that climate-change-denying Dotard is predisent? Instead "lying" climate change scientists are getting fired for refusing to tell the "truth".

Over $2B a year just for scientific research is peanuts? Who knew?

Just look at what the Euro's subsidize... the Green Energy to Black Energy ration is 20:1/
