Plenty of cults exist - every cult has its 'religious dogma', its idols, its 'prophets', its 'science', its 'proof' and its intolerant liturgy of demands. Cults everywhere: Corona, 'The Science' or Scientism, Islam, the State, the cult of Gender Fascism, Marxism, Darwin and Evolution, Globaloneywarming, Changing Climate, Abortion...
Tempus Fugit Memento Mori - Time Flies Remember Death
St. Greta the Simpleton of Sweden is the perfect poster-girl for the deranged ‘Climate-Change’ aka the Green-Fascist cult which desires to eradicate most of the modern world, jobs, incomes, products and services, through the pagan deification of Gaia, and the unscientific fiction that plant food which is .0004% of atmospheric gas by weight falling out of climate processes, is the new Satan, wreaking the apocalypse. To destroy the modern world the Green Nazis wish to de-industrialise modern Western economies and have people dying in the cold, penniless, without mobility, inert, worse off than a medieval serf, who at least had the recourse and weapons to challenge his Lord. Asian countries and Moslem states, will of course be exempt from such policies.
Climate-Gate revealed the awful, unprofessional, corrupt and psychologically-ill nature of the Climate-Hoax complex. Thousands of pages of fraud were put onto a Russian server. The Fake News media buried the lurid tales of statistical fakery, in-filling of numbers to support ‘hockey stick’ temperature graphs, ‘hiding the decline’ in temperature, and how to slander and demean ‘sceptics’. In short Climate-Gate destroyed Climate Fiction posing as Science.
“Today, anyone questioning this colossal enterprise is told to “respect the science”. Based on the Climategate emails released in 2009, 2013 and 2015, I’d rather respect the Mafia, who at least don’t claim to be saving the planet. For example, today we’re told that warming of 2degC above pre-industrial level is some sort of a tipping point of doom. Phil Jones, Director of the Climatic Research Unit, emailed on September 6, 2007, that the supposed 2-degree limit was “plucked out of thin air”, a throwaway line in an early 1990s paper from the catastrophists at the Potsdam Climate Impacts Institute.”
The world’s most viewed Climate Site is WUWT run by Anthony Watts a sceptical meteorologist. Watts writes:
“It was ten years ago today that I personally first viewed the instructions to download the Climategate files from the anonymous Russian server. That set in motion a series of events still affecting the outcome of worldwide energy and environmental policy today. The whitewashers at the BBC, The Guardian, and elsewhere have started putting up their officially sanctioned narrative version, amounting to little more than nothing to see hear move along.
I wrote up my contemporaneous version of events here.
Anyone who wants to rebut claims of exoneration can use this Ross McKitrick paper for reference.
A couple of days ago we reposted Judith Curry’s excellent 10 year anniversary write up.
There’s little I can say that Dr. Curry does not touch upon, except for the fact that it is gratifying to see ideas we help disseminate echoing back to us via both traditional and social media.
At the time of the event, Patrick Courrielche did one of the best jobs covering it in the media.
His original three part series can be found here (part 1), here (part 2), and here (part 3)”
The problem is that Climate-Fiction, parading as science, has in effect destroyed faith and trust in real science. There is no science whatsoever to the notion that a trace chemical, necessary for life, called plant food, which is fundamental to photosynthesis, creates hurricanes, storms, droughts, floods, rising-falling sea levels, hot-cold-wet-dry summers or winters, or earthquakes. It is astoundingly stupid. Yet the peasant is told to bow his head and follow his masters who run the cult shrine of ‘science’, with Saint Greta the Simpleton Stupid taking your votive offerings and perhaps killing a sheep or two herself in homage to the Earth mommy.
Larry Kummer and Fabius Maximus on WUWT on the nefarious, evil, deranged cult of Climate-Fiction, feeding fat on the Trillions of dollars floating in governmental budgets across the world…..:
“In climate science, the elites running its institutions – such as Marcia McNutt – want research that supports the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming narrative. After saying “the debate is ended,” she is not likely to support papers that call it into question. As Editor of the Science family of journals, that means they will not get published (damaging careers of junior scientists who did not get the memo). As president of the National Academies, that means no funding (wrecking the careers of upstart junior scientists). Even eminent and senior scientists are discarded if they challenge the narrative (e.g.,Roger Pielke Sr., Judith Curry).
….Journalists want doomster stories. Activists controlling the flocks of non-governmental agencies demand doomster research. Powerful political interests want doomster research (“conservative” politicians, organizations, and corporations do not care – knowing that they will have their share of gain from the expansion of government power). The incentives are tilted to one side.
So we get a flood every month of increasingly dubious research about the effects of global warming. Dubious statistical methods, exaggerated claims, endless predictions doom based on bogus claims that RCP8.5 is “business as usual” scenario. Models are used to make increasingly detailed predictions about regional effects and far future events – with little effort to validate them (there is a large body of knowledge of model validation, largely ignored by climate science). But climate science has a deeper and more severe problem.
….“Viewed as a body of substantive hypotheses, theory is to be judged by its predictive power for the class of phenomena which it is intended to ‘explain.’ Only factual evidence can show whether it is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ or, better, tentatively ‘accepted’ as valid or ‘rejected.’ As I shall argue at greater length below, the only relevant test of the validity of a hypothesis is comparison of its predictions with experience.”— Milton Friedman in “The Methodology of Positive Economics“, from Essays in Positive Economics
(1966).”
Climate models are failures. Climate predictions have failed. Climate assertions have been proven false. Not a single shred of scientific evidence supports the idea that a trace chemical 95% emitted by Gaia (plant food), causes anything. And since Gaia emits 95% of Co2, and if Co2 was really an issue, wouldn’t the ‘science’ say that we need to kill Gaia to save her?
