They never bother to explain why some experts are to be mindlessly obeyed while others are to be dismissed.
For instance, I don’t suppose MSNBC or The New York Times will be running articles beseeching us to listen to these 1,600 scientists who recently signed a declaration contradicting the official narrative surrounding something called “climate change.”
Via The College Fix:
“A total of 1,609 scientists, professors and other scholars have signed on to a new declaration that argues there is no climate change crisis.
“There is no climate emergency” is the title of the declaration that consists of 53 pages’ worth of signatories from across the globe, including some Nobel Laureates and other researchers from prestigious universities. Other signers include engineers, attorneys and other professionals.
The declaration, published with its endorsers in mid-August, lists six main arguments against the alleged climate crisis, including that carbon dioxide is not a pollutant and is actually “plant food” and “the basis of all life on Earth.”*
*This is the single most important aspect of the “climate change” hoax to grasp: it is a war on carbon, on its face, but, at the core, it is a war on life on Earth, which is comprised primarily of carbon. 18.5% of the human body mass is carbon, which has often been described as the “backbone” element due to its inclusion in many organic molecules.
From the declaration, titled “There Is no Climate Emergency,” signed by 1,600 credentialed scientists, many of whom may coincidentally find their grants dried up in the near future:
“The geological archive reveals that Earth’s climate has varied as long as the planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age ended as recently as 1850. Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming…
The world has warmed significantly less than predicted by IPCC on the basis of modeled anthropogenic forcing. The gap between the real world and the modeled world tells us that we are far from understanding climate change.
There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent. However, there is ample evidence that CO2-mitigation measures are as damaging as they are costly…
To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe what the model makers have put in*. This is precisely the problem of today’s climate discussion to which climate models are central. Climate science has degenerated into a discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical science. Should not we free ourselves from the naive belief in immature climate models?”
*Recall this COVID death model predicting deaths in the millions, propagated by the Public Health™ authorities to justify unjustifiable lockdowns.

For the record, here’s Al Gore predicting in 2009 that the polar bears would all be dead in five years (and that they can’t swim even though they swim hundreds of miles at a clip):
Related to the point made that the climate is naturally evolving, let us not forget that “climate change” was once called “global warming,” but was amended so as to make the term as open-ended and therefore versatile in its social engineering applications as possible. Even the proponents of unprecedented social and economic upheaval in its name can no longer say exactly what “climate change” refers to because it refers to nothing and everything all at once. It’s a cliché, a buzzword, a banal platitude.
But the implications are genocidal.

Shoot, I just posted this article in the above TBP column, without having seen this first. It’s over at Rockwell today, too. OK, so, 1,600 scientists didn’t kill themselves.
Duh. I learned this in elementary school but by the time I was in high school they were screaming about global cooling and the coming ice age. Then it was acid rain, then it was globull warming now they just call it climate change.
This distracts from the true pollution that is still ongoing.

For a very good discussion that expands on this I highly recommend you listen Dr Shiva and Jim Lee. And stop whining about how long it is. I know you can do two things at once, like listen while doing some chores…hello.
I do not need any scientists to tell me what I can plainly see with my own eyes. There is no climate change. It is simply another in a long line of government lies.
There is no “man-made” global climate change, and no tax that can alter the weather.
Riding the Climate Toboggan
One of the great lessons of history is that there really are limits to how long you can talk people into disbelieving the evidence of their own senses. To cite only one example, all those supposedly authoritative claims that the vaccines would keep you from catching or transmitting the Covid virus didn’t keep people from noticing that the vaccines did neither of these things, which is one of several reasons why attempts to push yet another round of Covid vaccines on the public are doing so poorly. In the same way, the rhetoric on both sides of the climate change issue is losing its appeal as people notice that the climate really is changing, but the predicted apocalypse keeps on pulling a no-show…
To begin with, the Earth’s climate is anything but stable. Twenty thousand years ago, an eyeblink in geological time, the Earth was much colder than she is today; that’s why the pleasant corner of Rhode Island where I live was under a mile of ice then. Go back another hundred thousand years, and the Earth was much warmer; at that time Rhode Island had roughly the same climate North Carolina has today. Go back further, before the great cooling trend of the Neogene period, and the Earth was warmer still—think palm trees and crocodiles on Rhode Island’s shores…
Nor are sudden climate changes anything new. Some of them, in fact, were much more sudden and drastic than the one we’re currently in…Steven Mithen’s widely praised book on postglacial times, After the Ice—Earth’s average temperature jolted up 7° C in less than a decade. Nobody’s yet sure how that happened, though there are some plausible theories. The point to notice is that not even the most extreme climate theories right now are predicting a 7° C increase in global temperature over the next decade.
So climate change has happened before, and very fast climate change has also happened before. It’s when we go beyond this and talk in more detail about what a warmer world is like that things begin to get very, very strange. It so happens, to begin with, that the Earth is usually much warmer than she is today. Cold spells like the one that shapes our current biosphere happen at long intervals, but they’re the exception, not the rule. Under more usual conditions—well, here’s how a Harvard University website puts it: “the temperature was roughly equal everywhere in the world. In the past, this state existed because the poles were significantly warmer than they are currently, while the Tropics remained at roughly present day temperatures.”
The technical term for this is an equable climate…Fifty million years ago, during a recent era of equable climate, sea surface temperatures in the Arctic Ocean were in the subtropical range, between 64° and 77°F, and crocodiles sunned themselves on the beaches of northern Greenland: yes, their fossils have been found. North Dakota in the winter never had freezing temperatures for as much as 24 hours at a stretch. In Antarctica, palm trees grew and frost was a rare event. In effect, the tropics extended north and south from the equator much further than they do now, and subtropical conditions extended from there to the poles.
It was a very different world. The only glaciers were on high mountains close to the poles. The only deserts were in the rain shadows of tall mountain ranges. Snow was a rarity away from mountain summits. The Sahara and the Arabian peninsula? Green and fertile, watered with regular rains. The world was wrapped in a springtime that lasted for millions of years.
Not to forget… Nearly all the major planets throughout our galaxy are experiencing similar changes. This is not just our planet that is going through “changes”. It is near every other planet too. My take on these “changes”. It is the sun that is responsible in going through it’s regular cycle of “changes”, which in its turn, affects the planets that orbit the sun.
If anyone can educate me on how in the heck cow farts and other so called “harmful man-made carbon emissions” on THIS planet, can affect other planets, go for it!
