It's not ignorant at all. It's human nature. The Founding Fathers knew this. Read Federalist #10, factionalism is a mind numbing phenomena. If the party that has most of the black people in it, GOP voters won't listen to anything they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 The Stunning Statistical Fraud Behind The Global Warming Scare. The actual measured temperature record shows something different: There have been hot years and hot decades since the turn of the last century, and colder years and colder decades. But the overall measured temperature shows no clear trend over the last century, at least not one that suggests runaway warming. That is, until the NOAA’s statisticians “adjust” the data. Using complex statistical models, they change the data to reflect not reality, but their underlying theories of global warming. That’s clear from a simple fact of statistics: Data generate random errors, which cancel out over time. So by averaging data, the errors mostly disappear. That’s not what NOAA does. According to the NOAA, the errors aren’t random. They’re systematic. As we noted, all of their temperature adjustments lean cooler in the distant past, and warmer in the more recent past. But they’re very fuzzy about why this should be. Far from legitimately “adjusting” anything, it appears they are cooking the data to show a politically correct trend toward global warming. Not by coincidence, that has been part and parcel of the government’s underlying policies for the better part of two decades. What NOAA does aren’t niggling little changes, either. Government cooking the books like this would be a major scandal if we had a nonpartisan press. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 DAVID HARSANYI: Sorry, Alarmists, Climate Chaos Is Not Here. “Despite Democrats’ cataclysmal framing of every weather event, Americans are safer than ever.” It’s true that 2019 has seen a spike in tornadoes, but mostly because 2018 was the first year recorded without a single violent tornado in the United States. Tornadoes killed 10 Americans in 2018, the fewest since we started keeping track of these things in 1875, only four years after the nefarious combustion engine was invented. There has also been a long-term decline in the cost of tornado damage. In 2018, we experienced near-lows in this regard. The only better years were 2017, 2016, and 2015. After a few devastating hurricanes around a decade ago, we were similarly warned that it was a prelude to endless storms and ecological disaster. This was followed by nine years without a single major hurricane in the United States. Or, in other words, six fewer hurricanes than we experienced in 1908 alone. According to the U.S. Natural Hazard Statistics, in fact, 2018 saw below the 30-year average in deaths not only by tornadoes and hurricanes (way under average) but also from heat, flooding, and lighting. We did experience a slight rise in deaths due to cold. Pointing out these sort of things usually elicits the same reaction: Why do you knuckle-dragging troglodytes hate science? Well, because science’s predictive abilities on most things, but especially climate, have been atrocious. But mostly because science is being used as a cudgel to push leftist policy prescriptions without considering economic tradeoffs, societal reality, or morality. It’s always about power, except when it’s about money, unless it’s about both. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 WHO’S ANTI-SCIENCE? One of the contemporary Left’s more annoying traits is its insistence on labeling those who disagree with leftist dogma as “anti-science.” This from the people who apparently don’t know about X and Y chromosomes. Or maybe they think an X can “identify” as a Y, and vice versa. Climate hysteria is, of course, the arena where “anti-science” accusations are thrown around most promiscuously. At the same time, advocates of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming consistently refuse to debate CAGW skeptics, which gives you a pretty good idea whose side the science is on. The current edition of the Science and Environmental Policy Project’s The Week That Wasincludes these observations on science and “anti-science.” {snip} Liberals often talk about “science” as though it were a set of approved dogmas. In fact, science is a method. “Climate scientists” seem almost allergic to applying the scientific method to their claims about Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming. Here, as on so many other issues, it is President Trump who is right, and his ostensibly sophisticated critics who are wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
