Wikipedia deletes useful list of scientists skeptical of a coming climate change crisis

35 Wikipedia editors 
voted down 19 other 
editors, and now 
The List (below)
does not exist. 

Here’s the reasoning 
for the censorship 
given by one of the 
Wikipedia editors:

“ ... I see a consensus here 
that there is no value 
in having a list that 
combines the qualities of 

a) being a scientist, 
in the general sense 
of that word, and 

b) disagreeing with 
the scientific consensus 
on global warming.”


These are not just
any scientists, 
but well-known 
and, 
in many cases, 
distinguished 
scientists 
(Happer, Soon, Lindzen, etc., 
in diverse fields of science)

The climate change
"consensus" is only 
among scientists 
whose salaries,
research grants, 
and reputations 
depend on 
their public belief 
in dangerous 
man-made warming).

It would be 
very refreshing
if more people 
who have 
science degrees 
exhibited signs 
of intelligence.

The correct answer 
is that no one knows 
what percentage 
of warming since 1975 
had natural causes 
and what percentage 
had man made causes.

What is so hard 
about admitting that ?



Even more important 
is determining whether 
past global warming 
has been bad news 
or good news.

The warming in 
the past 300 years 
has been good news, 
and no one was hurt 
by it.

That seems like
common sense to me.

If I’m wrong,
the proof 
that I'm wrong
would be a list 
of the names 
of the people 
actually hurt 
by the mild, 
intermittent 
global warming 
since the 1690s, 
during the 
Maunder Minimum / 
Little Ice Age.

Jumping to 
the conclusion 
that global warming 
is 100% (or close)
caused by humans, and 
is an existential threat, 
is a cult belief --  
a climate change 
religion, not science.

Attacking people 
who do not share 
the CO2 is evil belief 
is even worse than 
having that belief 
in the first place.

A coming 
climate crisis 
has been predicted 
since the late 1950s
— especially in 
the past 30 years
 — yet the climate 
keeps getting better 
and better.

No one with sense 
would listen to any 
climate predictions.

Yet almost all leftists
 do listen, and believe.
