Climate alarmists hide from debate

WUWT:

“The world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change!” says Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Really? 12 years?

John Stossel recently moderated a debate held by The Heartland Institute. Well, not a debate … because climate alarmists who were invited didn’t show.

“Please … let’s have a discussion!” begs astrophysicist Willie Soon. Stossel says the panel convincingly debunked four myths. One is the new claim: “we only have 12 years to act.”

Pat Michaels, former president of the American Association of State Climatologists, says, “It’s warmed up around one degree Celsius since 1900, and life expectancy DOUBLED … yet [if] that temperature ticks up another half a degree … the entire system crashes? That’s the most absurd belief.” read more

  1. “I want to take all of your money and piss it away for no reason” is not a policy position that plays well with the average American. “We need to increase taxes and spend trillions of dollars in order to combat climate change” is the same thing, but it sounds better to those people who still believe progressives can do anything useful.

    This climate change thing is just a power and money grab. But not even liberals will give up money and freedom without some sort of stated reason – although to be fair giving a liberal a stated reason to do anything insane is real easy to do. But climate change is perfect – it is incomprehensible, the data is either massaged or made up, activists spend more time stifling debate than demonstrating climate change is a real problem, and it sounds scary. But there is an easy way to tell progressives are bullshitting on this issue – they don’t have a clue about what they will spend the billions and trillions of dollars on to fix this problem, and it’s none of your business anyway.

  2. ‘Climate change’ is a great test to see how in touch with reality a given person is or isn’t. Another test would be to simply mention the word ‘Trump’.

    If their head swivels in circles and they begin projectile vomiting, you have your answer. Or, if they produce child-gods and begin drooling, you also have your answer.

    I either case reason and logic are wasted on them, which is the core of the problem. The word ‘Zombie’ never had a better application.

    Silver bullets, anyone?

  3. Can’t “debate” a nullity.

    “How many Angels can dance on the head of a pin?” was the expressed purpose of the “debate” but it was actually about Papal infallibility.
    Or “Did Jesus own His clothes?” (how else could they be “His” clothes?)

    We are drowning in Mendacity. Filth is spewn. Shit sammiches are handed around. We are told to believe the most improbable things: Obola laid the foundations of Trump’s economic success! Trump profited from Ukraine foreign aid! One can choose one’s “gender!” Good and Evil are relative! Reality is what Adam Schitt claims it to be! Hearsay is better than evidence! There is NO gambling at Rick’s!
