Denial No Matter What
ONCE AGAIN, the scientific profession has spoken, and once again, american conservative capitalists will ridicule their words in order to try desperately to protect their profligate lifestyle against all perceived threats. Each and every year, more and more scientists, armed with ever more information and evidence, become more convinced that global warming is real, and is caused in large part by human beings. There's a reason for that. Its called science. It used to be funny, now its becoming tired and pitiful, to hear people remind us that forty yars ago many people thought the earth is entering an ice age, and that scientists are always changing their minds, so that you can never believe anything they say. Remarkably stupid. These people fail to realize that the very process of scientific progress is that science always changes, always improves, always corrects itself. Science is self correcting, unlike religion, political systems, economic systems, and most people. If science said the same things every day, year after year, our understanding of nature would never get any better, now, would it? When I was a kid the planet Jupiter had twelve moons, and Saturn had nine. What do they have now - seventy and sixty, respectively? We learn more everyday, about nearly everything. Total human knowledge doubles every few years. What part of that is so damned difficult for American conservative capitalists to understand? And now, nearly every scientist in the world, once again, says what they have said long enough to give credibility; that climate change is here, and is us. If this were not true, the scientists probaboly would have stopped saying it by now, and would start saying something else, the way they stopped saying what they said in the nineteen seventies. But they keep saying it, in stronger terms every year, and there is a reason for it, and that reason has nothng to do with a liberal political conspiracy to justify increasing the size of government. Scientists who deny global warming, what very few there are, do so because they are paid by conservative corporate capitalists to do so. Ask any chemistry, biology, or physics teacher, in any American high school or college or university. Then do the same in every country in the world. That amounts to tens of thousands of people. You gonna believe them, or rush Lombaugh, who flunked out of college in one year, and calls himself a genius? He claims that a liberal conspiracy permeates the American news media, America's colleges and Universities, public schools, and scientific community, inventing global warming as a tool to create big givernment under liberal control! Does that make any sense, or is it delusional? The tens of thousand of conspirators must all communicate by stealth, using encrypted email and disguised voices , hundreds of thousands of them, and meeting in the dark of night in remote, secret places. The liberal conspirators. Or was that the Skull and Crossbones Society at Yale, founded by Prescott Bush, father of George, grandfather of little George? No, it couldn't be, those kind of people don't give a damn about the environment. With their wealth, they can always purchase a comfortable life.
