Eric Holder says

I came to the conclusion that people making bold and assertive predictions are usually idiots suffering from the Danning-Kruger effect.

Not to bust your balls but - Dunning Kruger.

And I don't think you're right. I think these people are simply sociopaths and think people who are dumb enough to believe them, are contemptible and deserve to be taken advantage of. They (perhaps properly) view people who trust them as vile and subhuman.

That does rub off on a lot of people, how many people here are revolted by the "climate activists" that block traffic, or glue their hands to walls, or whatever? These dumb kids, are just dumb kids. They believe all this nonsense. I guarantee that Al Gore / John Kerry is more disgusted with them, than somebody that just calls him a complete hypocrite and liar but at the same time, they don't like the people calling them hypocrites and liars - they are like "of course I am, duh, any moron can see I am, but why are you fucking up my grift over these stupid suckers that deserve to lose all their money?"

I have a book from my college years, called "The Experts Speak". It's composed entirely of bad predictions by experts.

Found it online:

I don't care about climate change. Sea level rise is absolute bull shit. It's a lie. I know Ad is in the panhandle area. I've spent almost 2 years of my life down there going to the same place. 10' above sea level on average on Navarre Beach. It should be gone based on all the hype. It's the same from 35 years of memories. They did some dune build up, but that was to protect buildings in hurricanes. Nothing to do with climate change or sea level rise. It's a god damn sandbar and it's still there. Water moves sand easily too. It's a fucking joke.

Arctic Summer Ice Hasn’t Declined in a Decade, Climate Scientists Covered It Up
Frank Bergman
March 26, 2023

One of the main talking points pushed by climate alarmists over the years has been that the Arctic summer sea ice is declining.

This line has been used to strike fear into the public by constantly warning that we’ll all be doomed once it soon disappears.

However, evidence has now emerged to reveal that Arctic summer sea ice stopped declining a decade ago but climate scientists have covered it up.

Nevertheless, green activists have spared no effort to continue promoting the poster scare that humans will cause it all to disappear within a few years.

In his recent BBC Frozen Planet II agitprop, Sir David Attenborough claimed Arctic summer sea ice might all be gone by 2035.

In an excellent piece of investigative reporting titled Lies, Damned Lies and Arctic Graphs, the climate writer Tony Heller recently lifted the lid on many of the tactics used to keep the scare in the headlines.

“They bury all the older data and pretend they don’t notice sea ice is increasing again,” he charges.

“What they are doing is not science but propaganda.”

Here's Biden's 89-vehicle motorcade roaring through Ottawa on its way to Parliament so our leaders can discuss ... climate change

https://notthebee.com/article/no-worries-guys-itll-only-cost-131-trillion-to-address-climate-change

... So how much will it cost to address climate change? $131 trillion between now and 2050. That's $131,000,000,000,000. The entire world's GDP was $85 trillion last year!

A few years ago, the climate change estimate was $98 trillion. Now it's $131 trillion. What's it gonna be a few years from now?

Do you think China cares about "climate change"? Because they're more than doubling our CO2 emissions currently, and that number will be multiples higher in coming years.



No, they don't care about climate change. They're too busy plotting to replace America as the world's undisputed superpower.

Greetings from South Lake Tahoe, unbelievable amounts of snow and great weather til the next storm. Found this great store in the middle of Heavenly village (while Heavenly, granted one of the best ski resorts, has been spouting the rainbow + shit colored flag everywhere);

“What they are doing is not science but propaganda.”

Yes!

One of the fabrications pushed by climate alarmists is that the Arctic summer sea ice is declining. In a BBC documentary, Sir David Attenborough claimed that Arctic sea ice might all be gone by 2035.

This is nonsense because the Northwest Passage in the Arctic is frozen solid for the last 120 years! If right now the Arctic summer sea ice is declining, then why is the Northwest Passage frozen solid? No answer!

Recall that in 1903 Polar Explorer Roald Amundsen, found the Northwest Passage wide open. Did we have Global Warming in 1903? If no, then how come we have Global Warming today with the Northwest Passage frozen solid?

The data do not support Global Warming. Global Warming is a fraud.

• Net Zero proponents regularly report that extreme weather is more severe and frequent because of climate change while the evidence shows no increase – and, in some cases, a decrease – in such events.

• Computer models supporting every government Net Zero regulation and the trillions of dollars subsidizing renewables and electric cars, trucks, home heating, appliances and many other products do not work.

• Scientific research and studies that do not support the “consensus” narrative of harmful man-made global warming are routinely censored and excluded from government reports such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the National Climate Assessment.

• Conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that contradict the narrative of catastrophic global warming from fossil fuels are rewritten by government bureaucrats for public reports to support the false narrative of Net Zero.

• The many benefits of modest warming and increasing carbon dioxide are routinely either eliminated or minimized in governmental reports.

• Eliminating fossil fuels and implementing Net Zero policies and actions mean the elimination of fossil fuel-derived nitrogen fertilizers and pesticides that will result in about half the world’s population not having enough food to eat. Many would starve.

• The adoption of Net Zero is the rejection of overwhelming scientific evidence that there is no risk of catastrophic global warming caused by fossil fuels and CO₂. Net Zero, then, violates the tenets of the scientific method that for more than 300 years has underpinned the advancement of western civilization.

Two things:
If the left controls the authoritative government, they have more guns than the public will ever have.

The left are hypocrites - they want to ban guns but will own guns themselves.

Scientists Uncover the Role of Undersea Volcanoes in Climate Change – But the Media Don’t Want to Know

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/climate-emergency-fund-extremist-protest-groups-hollywood-biden

A little-known climate change advocacy organization heavily funded by celebrities and influential left-leaning foundations has been quietly dishing out grants to various activist groups deploying unorthodox and extremist methods across the world to protest fossil fuels, documents reveal.

Anti-fossil fuels groups have been ramping up protests in the United States and overseas as part of a coordinated campaign to bring awareness to climate change by vandalizing fine art, blocking major roads, and even gluing themselves to sports cars. Many of these activist hubs are being bankrolled by Climate Emergency Fund, a Beverly Hills-based charity linked to Hollywood celebrities and top liberal nonprofit organizations aiming to shape the Democratic Party's agenda, according to tax forms and other documents reviewed by the Washington Examiner. ...

And, unlike the typical run-of-the-mill charity, CEF boasts a star-studded cohort of financial backers and board members, including Rory Kennedy, daughter of the late senator Robert F. Kennedy, Aileen Getty, the billionaire philanthropist and heiress of the Getty family fortune earned in the petroleum industry, and even Hollywood's Adam McKay, who pledged it $4 million in September 2022 and directed the 2021 climate allegory film Don't Look Up.

CEF celebrity funders also include Jeremy Strong, who plays Kendall Roy in the HBO TV series Succession, comedian Chelsea Handler, actor and Silicon Valley star Thomas Middleditch, and Abigail Disney, daughter of ex-Disney executive Roy E. Disney, according to CEF's annual 2022 report.

Funny how they never bother harassing the big carbon footprint private jets.

Fear Porn from the National Weather Service. When the thermometer hit's the nineties it all turns red. On the plus side, it's a nice weekend to go sailing.

Low risk of getting hot in the Bay Area, but it looks like @mell will have a nice weekend.

Isn't it dumbfounding that corporate news retains ANY credibility at this point? I can't figure out why people still refer to it at all.

They are obviously willing to be, let's be generous, incorrect and they don't correct their "mistakes".

The simplest form of propaganda is just to repeat something over and over and over again, regardless of whether it's true or not. I would expect this to work to a point but it's been working for 35 years.

When we first started out this this climate hysteria in the 1980's (I know there was some in the 70's) I remember thinking "well, they couldn't be lying if they are, it will be found out in time, and will absolutely destroy the credibility of media and government institutions" - well it did, for me. Why is everybody else so slow?

Biden Federal Government Goes Full Suicide Bomber Against America
May 14, 2023/ Francis Menton

From his first days in office, President Biden has promised — threatened — to activate the administrative state at every level to address and solve the “climate crisis.” In the orthodoxy of the Biden/Democrat climate cult, this is to be accomplished by reducing U.S. carbon emissions into the atmosphere.

Now, even if you believe that a little more CO2 in the atmosphere is some kind of a problem (it isn’t), there is nothing that the United States can do to have any meaningful impact on that situation, given that countries with populations a large multiple of ours (China, India, Africa) are building coal-fired power plants as fast as they can. Even if we closed our economy entirely and reduced ourselves to eating grass and bugs, the effect on the climate would be zilch.

Meanwhile we have waited through the first two plus years of Bidenism to find out exactly what punishments the administrative state has in mind for us for our sins of prosperity and enjoyment of life. In the last few weeks, we have learned at least part of the answer, in the form of a series of gigantic new regulatory proposals emanating from EPA and other agencies. The answer is, the federal government will become a suicide bomber seeking to blow up and destroy the American economy and the well-being of the American people. ...

Put it all together, and the term “war against the economy” no longer does justice to what is going on. This is a full-blown attack by suicide bombers. They are so crazed with the righteousness of their cause that they couldn’t care less about the destruction and devastation they might cause to the innocent people around them, let alone even about their own death. Who ever thought our federal government would get into such a role?

This isn't drawn on a linear scale. The X-scale seems arbitrary. Can you get the original data to create the graph?

I don't believe we're destroying the world by increasing CO2 in the atmosphere (anymore, I did up until about 2003 or so), but I believe this is also deceptive.

Perhaps high concentrations of CO2 makes us all retarded?

This is something to consider for all the wind-power fans (no pun intended)

https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/true-cost-energy-generated-wind-turbines
> A 2018 study found that wind power can impact the climate by altering the atmospheric boundary layer. “We find that generating today’s US electricity demand with wind power would warm Continental US surface temperatures by 0.24 degrees Celsius,” it said.

I know you are making a joke here, but I want to point out that the makers of misleading charts are not "retarded," the makers believe their target audience is.

Scale, buddy. That is like saying a gnat landing on a wrecking ball will affect the trajectory. Also, that wind either turns a turbine or it dissipates against other air, surface, or mountains.

"I don't believe we're destroying the world by increasing CO2 in the atmosphere... "

True!

CO2 is life! Without CO2 there is no photosynthesis, there are no plants, no animals and no life on othis planet! In addition, humans are exhaling 4 to 5% CO2 which is 50,000 ppm CO2. So the notion that CO2 is pollution is bunk.
