Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren,
Democrat presidential candidate,
recently said:
“I believe in science.
And anyone who doesn’t,
has no business
making decisions
about our environment.”
That statement almost certainly
means the person speaking
has near-zero climate science
knowledge !
What Warren really means,
by saying:
“I believe in science”,
is:
“I believe in dangerous
global warming.”
Andrew Yang,
another Democrat
presidential candidate,
said:
“My father has
a Ph.D. in physics ...
I believe in science.”
The “I believe in science” phrase
is used as a way of declaring
belief in a proposition,
which is not understood.
It's a smoother character attack,
to prevent debate, than the usual
leftist character attack:
"Climate denier" !
Elon Musk once told people
he’s going to put
a million people on Mars.
That gets people excited.
The many reasons
why Mars is a dead planet,
are not exciting !
No one even asks !
“I believe in science”
too often means
“I have a degree
in the liberal arts,
and know nothing
about science.”
Science isn’t
about “belief.”
Science is about:
-- facts
-- evidence
-- theories
-- experiments.
The theories must
be falsifiable.
Predictions of the climate
100 years in the future,
are not a theory
that can be falsified,
unless you are willing to
wait for up to 100 years,
to observe the climate.
“I believe in science” uses
the reputation of “science”
to shield a specific claim
from questioning, skepticism
and debate.
“I believe in science”
is most often used to support
the wrong theory
of catastrophic
man made ( anthropogenic )
global warming, and the
alleged "solution":
Powerful government
regulations to limit,
or ban, fossil fuels.
The trick is to make
any disagreement
about global warming
appear to be
a rejection of the
scientific method.
Many theories in history,
probably closer to 100%
than to 50%, were widely
accepted as the scientific
“consensus”, and later
debunked.
The current science
of plate tectonics,
and also
solar wind science,
took decades
to win acceptance
by the mainstream
of their fields.
Science is hard.
Scientists are
much more often
wrong, than they
are right.
Scientists are human,
prone to:
-- biases
-- blind spots
-- groupthink
Do you think Elizabeth Warren
and Andrew Yang have given
any serious study time
to climate science ?
Of course not !
But they have "feelings" !
And they "believe in"
a coming climate
catastrophe !
Real science is about
real evidence,
not beliefs in the
wild guess predictions
of future climate
change catastrophe.
Especially after
a 60+ year track record
of those scary
climate predictions
being wrong !
( the last 30 of those years
being wrong while using
computer climate models ! )
