Well, it’s clear... it’s because they’re smarter than you. Just ask them. <br /><br />Analytical intelligence has become a ticket to the upper class in America. But the dirty little secret is that analytical intelligence creates nothing. In it’s pure form, it tells you what is. OIt involves no risk whatsoever. It merely survives off the creativity of others — the entrepreneur. In an endless desire to tell the entrepreneur what to do, to keep him in check, to slow progress because it doesn’t conform to the models analysts developed on spreadsheets.<br /><br />Climate Change is the latest installment in the analyiticals’ desire to take over everything. It’s technocratic sensationalism. Translation: it’s bunk. Nonsense.

And it's a sad state of affairs when major claims, like Michael Mann's "hockey stick" and the recent "ocean warming" paper by Resplandy et al, are falsified by private citizens and not by vaunted peer review boards. To no one's surprise, the apocalyptic deadlines of Mr Asswad al-Gore, O'Rama's' "science advisor" John Holdren, and James Hansen have been embarassingly and repeatedly passed without incident.<br /><br />Re California, I can tell you exactly what happened there, because I watched the same thing happening in Boulder County, CO, when I lived in a mountain home in the Roosevelt National Forest. When the USFS (or other agency) got funding to clear deadwood and thin the forest, the greenloons and their lawyers tied up the projects in court until either the time limit expired or project funding was depleted on legal expenses. The problem in CO was the pine beetle and forest overcrowding, and they have a similar problem in CA. The massive presence of standing deadwood, abundant and flammable undergrowth (aka "kindling"), high winds, and arid climate combine to create explosive fire danger. The same people who believe every dead tree has a right to life will tell you there are too many human beings on the planet. And not enough snail darters.<br /><br />But the ultimate joke is the straightfaced claim that the UN and national governments, the same institutions who presided over the rise of terrorism, global economic disasters, mass murders, nuclear proliferation, and the impending demise of Western Civilization in Europe, among countless other calamities and catastrophes, is competent and should be trusted to "fix" the global climate. A recently elected woman is a perfect representative of this bizarre notion... Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, with her degree in economics from a formerly well-respected university, is on a mission to fix health care and immigration. Yes, the cute bubblehead bartender who claimed unemployment is low because everybody is working two jobs. When Jerry Brown gets that high-speed train running on time, then maybe I might- might - think about handing over the planetary habitat to his care.Dr. Irredeemable Dregnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-79399005098029362962018-11-17T08:04:41.698-08:002018-11-17T08:04:41.698-08:00Not long ago the great physicist Freeman Dyson wro...Not long ago the great physicist Freeman Dyson wrote an introduction to a report on the beneficial aspects of higher carbon dioxide levels. In it he asked:<br /><br />The people who are supposed to be the experts and who claim to understand the science are precisely the people who are blind to the evidence… That to me is the central mystery of climate science. It is not a scientific mystery but a human mystery. How does it happen that the whole generation of scientific experts is blind to obvious facts?<br /><br />He continues:<br /><br />Indur Goklany has assembled a massive collection of evidence to demonstrate two facts. First, the non-climatic effects of carbon dioxide are dominant over the climatic effects and are overwhelmingly beneficial. Second, the climatic effects observed in the real world are much less damaging than the effects predicted by the climate models, and have also been frequently beneficial. I am hoping that the scientists and politicians who have been blindly demonizing carbon dioxide for 37 years will one day open their eyes and look at the evidence.<br /><br />http://malcolmpollack.com/2018/11/13/freeman-dyson-on-scientific-tribalism-jordan-peterson-on-the-idiocy-of-climatism-and-nasa-on-cooling/Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478747589100326721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-82455478848536054012018-11-17T08:03:31.142-08:002018-11-17T08:03:31.142-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478747589100326721noreply@blogger.com
