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.
