I'm sick and tired of this climate change bollocks. Really sick and really tired. The propaganda is everywhere. Brainwashed idiots who don't even understand the basics behind the THEORY are everywhere. Basic things such as:
- carbon dioxide (not even called that, just 'carbon', probably to cater to the lowest common denominator) an ESSENTIAL trace gas necessary for life to exist on this planet. Yet it's treated like it's pollution and worse than sin.
- the 'greenhouse effect', that has made our planet habitable and warm enough for life to emerge and evolve. It's not a bad thing.
- radiation, only absorbed at very specific wavelengths by carbon dioxide and other 'greenhouse gases'. Increasing the amount of these gases doesn't change how much radiation is trapped by the atmosphere, you can't absorb more if you're already absorbing everything in that wavelength.
I have an uncle who actually thinks global warming is caused by the increase in the number of power stations. Not because of the CO2. Nope. He thinks it's because of the heat generated by the burning coal in the furnace. All these power stations burning coal are heating up the atmosphere! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I heard that.
Apparently, climate change is so catastrophic and urgent that reducing your 'carbon footprint' (one of my most hated phrases) by 10% by 2010 will save the world. What a load of crap. If these people care so much about saving the planet why don't they just kill themselves and reduce their carbon footprint by 100%.
It's the new world religion. Nobody questions it. They believe it because a man in a suit on the television tells us that men in labcoats have "proven" it. We've been told that the global warming debate is over, it's been proven. Scientific theories are NEVER proven. That's the beauty of science. It's encourages progress. Climate change is a very bad theory. The argument is so full of holes it shouldn't even be considered a 'good' theory.
Yet most of the population is scientifically illiterate. They just accept it. Like people have accepted christianity, islam, hinduism, taoism, etc, for thousands of years. Just because it's what they've been told is true and have been threatened with eternal damnation if you believe otherwise. The same is happening with climate change. If you don't do as you're told and stop flying so much you'll destroy the planet and your children will die.
It's like we're going back in time. I thought the human race had gotten past this idea that humans are the centre of the universe. But we're believing it again. The planet has been around for billions of years, but we think we have to 'save it' because we're the chosen generation.
In reality, we're just biological organisms that have evolved on a small blue/green planet orbiting an insignificant star in a spiral galaxy consisting of billions of other stars in a universe consisting of billions of other galaxies. We live for a mere 75 years to contemplate our own existence and then we die. I have no desire to spend my short time in this universe being cattle for the state nor be told what I can and can't do.
That's why I'm a Libertarian.

To overturn this junk science theory, we're going to have a battle on our hands.
ReplyDeleteNot only do state school children learn dumbed-down science but they're also being schooled in AGW. So they're going to believe it totally, until they're in their 20s and might dare to think that their teachers mistaught them.
By that time, it will be too late. They will have helped the corrupt few achieve their goals.
I suspect that, apart from the obvious benefiters from this scheme, like Al Gore, it was cooked up by those in the oil industry wanting the taxpayer to fund their switch to a new, lucrative alternative energy industry.
I'd be interested to learn which shares Bush has, for instance.
Indeed, it's all about money for the priveleged few at the top.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the current farce that's the "science" GCSEs. Nearly every question is related to climate change/energy/environment - and multiple choice! It's nothing but mass brainwashing.
It hasn't been that long since my GCSEs (I'm still in my 20s) but they weren't like that, must have been before Labour truly made a mess of the education system.
You're right that it's only when you're out of the education system that you start to question what you were taught. I've undergone quite a transformation in the past year since I discovered all the blogs out here on the web (it all started by finding Old Holborn's place through a link on the ARRSE forum) and found out about Libertarianism. It's hard work convincing people that there's an alternative to the current situation though. Some people are addicted to the state and others are just politically apathetic thanks to too many years of so-called democracy.
