Much of what
is called “science”
today does not
fit the definition.
The worst aspect
of modern "science"
is the mathematical
modeling used to
predict the future.
That modeling depends
on many assumptions
and approximations.
For climate
science, an
accurate climate
physics model --
-- specific causes
of climate change and
their importance --
does not exist.
Without an accurate
climate physics model,
it is impossible to construct
any general climate model
to predict the future climate.
You could create
a "computer game",
and then call it
a climate model.
But what are called
"climate models"
are only personal
opinions about the
(unknown) climate
physics model,
as chosen by the
model's owners !
A full picture of climate
systems depends on
knowledge of 20
or more sub-specialties.
No modeling team
has all that knowledge.
The global warming
models, and those used
for the COVID-19 epidemic,
have no predictive value.
Global warming would
seem to be based on
an objective science.
You measure
temperatures
throughout
the planet,
and debate
the accuracy of
those temperature
measurements.
You do not know
the cause of the
measured warning,
because no single
variable correlates well.
The CO2 level rose
from 1940 to 1975,
with no global warming.
The CO2 level rose a lot
from 2003 to mid-2015,
with almost no warming.
The global temperature rose
since the 1690s, starting
long before burning fossil
fuels could be blamed.
So why does the belief
in anthropogenic
(man made)
global warming
correlate so strongly
to political party?
That's also true
of the COVID-19
disease.
The virus does not
distinguish victims
according to
political affiliation.
A recent Rasmussen poll
asking about the economic
lockdowns, found that 67%
of Republicans, but only 24%
of Democrats, agree with
the statement, “It’s time for
America to get back to work.”
It's true that the infection
spreads faster in densely
populated urban areas.
It's true the Democrat Party
is very popular in densely
populated cities.
But what does that
have to do with
real science?
The drastic reduction
in carbon dioxide
emissions, due to
reduced vehicle and
air travel has been
celebrated by many
Democrats, and
protested by many
Republicans !
A prolonged economic
lockdown hurts President
Trump's chances of being
reelected.
So it's no surprise that
the pro-Democrat biased
mainstream media promotes
the most alarming predictions
concerning ending the
economic lockdown.
The mainstream media
do the same thing
with climate change
predictions.
Politicians know
“No crisis should
ever go to waste.”
Every crisis,
even an
imaginary
'coming crisis',
can be used
to expand
the power
of the central
government.
An imagined crisis,
such as the
50+ year old
claim of a coming
climate crisis,
is a political game,
not real science.
Democrats claim
only they have
great respect for
scientific knowledge.
In reality, Democrats
only respect people
with science degrees
who say what
they want to hear.
And if they have a
complex computer
climate model,
as a prop,
that's makes them
seem more "scientific".
And never mind
the many decades
of wrong climate
predictions ... that
the mainstream media
refuses to report !
