The climate change appeal to authority logical fallacy (do as we say and shut up)

A consensus 
does not mean 
anything in 
real science.

Real science does not 
care about popularity
contests.

Throughout history,
a consensus usually 
meant the science 
would eventually
be proven wrong.

Scientific advances
usually come from 
proving an existing
consensus was 
wrong.



Meanwhile, 
the popular term:
'"scientists say",
is nothing more 
than an 'appeal 
to authority'
logical fallacy.

And that appeal 
to authority 
is the primary 
propaganda tool
of climate alarmists.

It's their version
of the conservative
appeal to authority: 
"God says ... "


"Scientists say", 
is often stretched to:
"97% of scientists say".


"97% of scientists say"
is often followed by:
"the science is settled".


"The science is settled"
implies the future 
climate is known,
and no debate 
will be tolerated.


Just shut up, and 
do what the leftists
say, which will 
always include 
a huge ramp up of 
government control
over your life.

That's something
leftists have alway wanted,
starting long before 
climate change became 
their favorite boogeyman.



Climate alarmists 
don't know much 
about real climate 
science, 
which studies
the PAST and 
PRESENT 
climate.

Climate alarmists 
are obsessed with 
wild guess, always
wrong, predictions of 
the FUTURE climate,
which they are "sure"
can only be bad news.


Leftists are always
unhappy with the world,
especially if they get 
what they want 
( Cuba, Venezuela, U.S.S.R, 
North Korea, etc. )

Leftists usually "see" 
bad news in the future, 
as if they could predict 
the future.

Leftists always have
an environmental
boogeyman, 
which they change 
when it stops
scaring people:
-- DDT
-- Acid Rain
-- Hole in the Ozone Layer
-- Global Cooling
-- Global Warming
-- next boogeyman TBD


Leftists think scary,
and always wrong, 
climate predictions 
are real science.

In fact, wrong predictions
prove a theory is wrong,
except in climate change
junk science ... where a
1970's era CO2-global
warming theory remains
alive, like a climate change 
zombie, even after 45 years
of wrong climate predictions.
( CO2 level up 100% = global average temperature 
                                        goes  up +3 degrees C. )


If the 97% consensus myth 
does not shut up skeptics 
of a coming climate change
crisis, the leftists resort to 
Saul Alinsky-style ridicule 
and character attacks.

Perhaps looking down
at you, and asking if you 
have a science PhD, and
have had peer reviewed 
articles published in 
scientific journals?

That appeal to authority 
is a logical fallacy intended
to "prove" you are not 
qualified to debate
their coming climate 
change crisis fantasy.


And never mind the
ACTUAL global warming, 
since the late 1600s, 
of roughly 
+2 degrees C.,
starting from an 
unusually cold 
period in the 
late 1600s.

That global warming 
has been 
100% good news,
for about 325 years.

For leftists, PAST global 
warming has nothing to do
with FUTURE global warming,
and don't you forget it !
