Junk Science is the real crisis we face as so many people think that Global Warming is caused by man and Co2. Of course, those who really believe this is the problem that will destroy the world perhaps should just commit suicide and take the dog with them. Since we exhale Co2 that would reduce the problem in their mind and save the world by setting a good example.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

Junk Science plagues us in every field of science be it economics to health. For 25 years we were told that eggs are bad. How many people ordered egg whites only. Then the Junk Science was revised, but after 25 years, nobody noticed. When scientists learned that high blood cholesterol was associated with heart disease, they immediately black-listed all foods with high cholesterol content. It took 25 years of study to figure out – oops, we were wrong!
You just didn’t really hear the “oops we were wrong” but instead you heard of another great danger – saturated fat! It became evident that cholesterol in food by itself was not the culprit after all — the real great evil was saturated fat. This is what had a much bigger effect on blood cholesterol when it was discovered that full-fat dairy products and fatty meats are loaded with saturated fat and that triggers the body to produce cholesterol.
This is the problem with analysis. They can conclude that everyone who has eaten a carrot eventually dies. That is an absolutely correct statement. They study one component and draw a correlation and thus produce the definitive relationship. They did that with interest rates. Higher rates means the stock market will decline. Oops. The Fed just raised rates and the Dow made a new high. Interesting! See it is the carrot paradox. Focusing on just one relationship blinds you to the complexity of the whole. Global Warming is the same as the carrot paradox.
In economics, we had the Quantity of Money Theory that has driven central banks into Quantitative Easing expecting inflation and after 10 years of desperately trying to stimulate inflation, they have been beaten to a pulp by deflation. As always, they make a false simple assumption at the outset which then leads to the false result.
People seem to always approach everything in a linear fashion attempting to reduce everything to a one-dimensional cause and effect. They fail to comprehend that the world is dynamic and complex, which defies this one-dimensional analysis. In economics, there is the contraction within the economy creating deflation from technology advances – the waves of innovation by Schumpeter. The work force is stagnant and unless they stay current with technology, they will quickly find themselves UNEMPLOYABLE with no useful skills.
Think of this one-dimensional analysis and now try to explain LOVE. Can you reduce the feeling of “LOVE” to a single thing and definitively say I love this person because of just this one thing? How about the LOVE one has for family or children. Can you say you love your mother or children reducing it to a single thing?
Welcome to the would or dynamic interaction which defies a single cause and effect.
Cold summer here in the northeast. Weather is funny that way. It changes. Hot over here, cold over there. 20 years ago WE had a 95 degree 3 week heatwave. This year its 58.
“As always, they make a false simple assumption at the outset which then leads to the false result.”
But there’s titties full of “gov” subsidized powdered homogenized milk in those falsies. Make work makes dirty Harry’s day. One dimensional binaries are coal mine canaries that never die – so the miners do. Dynamic & complex defies conservatives yelling – in crayola color of law – “stop!” every time. But they just keep yelling anyway. It’s a ride, a fast ride, but they want to bronze it. Statutory statuary. A ticket to sit. & a place for pigeons to shit. Surf those Schumpeter waves. Or drown. Or maybe even both – no canaries in the waves, either. Love’s a glove. Leather. Lace. Maille. See that hand reaching for those reins? 4 fingers & a thumb. Palms. Knuckles. Holding another hand. Throttling a throat, maybe even one’s own. America – love it or leave it! lol….

Science and Journalism have been so dumbed down by Affirmative Action that any Politically Correct minority can get a government grant to study something and a Journalist will report it. Real Scientist and Science can’t even get a Bronx Cheer.
Unlike interest rate analysis, the idea of global warming being caused by the emission of greenhouse gasses is based on hard physics. You know – physical reality.
Breathing out CO2 doesn’t introduce new carbon into the atmosphere. Digging up millions of tonnes of coal and burning it does.
So the output of the sun, our star, and planets main heat source, are inconsequential because you said hard science? Did you not comprehend the article? There are an uncountable number of factors that affect weather and climate. Fuck some people are dumb.
New CO2 being introduced ends up producing more plant life.
Meaning those disappearing forests we were warned about a few decades back didn’t disappear but became larger and more lush.
FWIW, if “fossil fuels” are actually from “fossils” then we are simply reintroducing their carbon to the environment since they took it out in the first place by the process of becoming fossils. That is restoration of the natural environment, not destruction of it.
Lost me at economcs is “science’. Didn’t bother reading the rest.
