calfoxwc Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/01/21/mit-climate-scientist-global-warming-believers-a-cult/ you betcha ...mmgw IS a crock. An MIT professor of meteorology is dismissing global-warming alarmists as a discredited “cult” whose members are becoming more hysterical as emerging evidence continues to contradict their beliefs. During an appearance on this writer’s radio show Monday, MIT Professor emeritus Richard Lindzen discussed the religious nature of the movement. “As with any cult, once the mythology of the cult begins falling apart, instead of saying, oh, we were wrong, they get more and more fanatical. I think that’s what’s happening here. Think about it,” he said. “You’ve led an unpleasant life, you haven’t led a very virtuous life, but now you’re told, you get absolution if you watch your carbon footprint. It’s salvation!” Lindzen, 74, has issued calm dismissals of warmist apocalypse, reducing his critics to sputtering rage. Last week, government agencies including NASA announced that 2014 was the “hottest year” in “recorded history,” as The New York Times put it in an early edition. Last year has since been demoted by the Times to the hottest “since record-keeping began in 1880.” But that may not be true. Now the same agencies have acknowledged that there’s only a 38 percent chance that 2014 was the hottest year on record. And even if it was, it was only by two-100ths of a degree. Lindzen scoffs at the public-sector-generated hysteria, which included one warmist blogger breathlessly writing that the heat record had been “shattered.” “Seventy percent of the earth is oceans, we can’t measure those temperatures very well. They can be off a half a degree, a quarter of a degree. Even two-10ths of a degree of change would be tiny but two-100ths is ludicrous. Anyone who starts crowing about those numbers shows that they’re putting spin on nothing.” Last week, after scoffing at Vermont socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders’ call for a Senate vote on global warming, Lindzen was subjected to another barrage of diatribes. At his listed MIT phone number, Prof. Lindzen received a typical anonymous call: “I think people like you should actually be in jail,” the male caller told him, “because you must know where this is all leading now… the people you support and take your money from to make these outrageously anti-human comments (also ‘know’)… In other words, you’re a sociopath!” Lindzen chuckled when the voicemail was replayed. This writer asked him if, as has been alleged in some of the warmist blogs, he is taking money from the energy industry. “Oh, it would be great!” he said with a laugh. “You have all these people, the Gores and so on, making hundreds of millions of dollars on this, Exxon Mobil giving $100 million to Stanford for people who are working on promoting this hysteria. The notion that the fossil-fuel industry cares – they don’t. As long as they can pass the costs on to you, it’s a new profit center.” Lindzen said he was fortunate to have gained tenure just as the “climate change” movement was beginning, because now non-believers are often ostracized in academia. In his career he has watched the hysteria of the 1970’s over “global cooling” morph into “global warming.” “They use climate to push an agenda. But what do you have left when global warming falls apart? Global normalcy? We have to do something about ‘normalcy?’” As for CO2, Lindzen said that until recently, periods of greater warmth were referred to as “climate optimum.” Optimum is derived from a Latin word meaning “best.” “Nobody ever questioned that those were the good periods. All of a sudden you were able to inculcate people with the notion that you have to be afraid of warmth.” The warmists’ ultimate solution is to reduce the standard of living for most of mankind. That proposition is being resisted most vigorously by nations with developing economies such as China and India, both of which have refused to sign on to any restrictive, Obama-backed climate treaties. Lindzen understands their reluctance. “Anything you do to impoverish people, and certainly all the planned policies will impoverish people, is actually costing lives. But the environmental movement has never cared about that.” Follow Howie on Twitter: @HowieCarrShow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 What cause one guy is skeptical gw is a crock? And if you care to read his thesis its eye openingly hairy. He badicslly thinks the earth can counter co2 warming, thereby acknowledging the earth can be warmed by rising co2 levels. Not sure what to make of the guy even though he's from mit when he makes statements that theres been ni warming since 1997 to which is demonstrably false. Have to read more about this guy later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Global Warming Alarmists, The Earth Is Cooling; The "planet" shattered heat records Cal. The whole planet. Not just Africa. "BUT"...it brings up a good point, there are people who think well what happens in Africa has no effect. As if warming in Africa would be some isolated shit. And therein lies the problem and why some poeple are so easily led astray. They get shown incomplete data and are like "well no fucking problem here". You just don't get that the earth is a SYSTEM. And we're all subject to it. Our water tables are vanishing Cal....this is a big fucking problem. As a grower you ought to know the consequences of that. We here in NE OH are close to the great lakes so for now we're probably good. But you do see the overall problem for the rest of the country right?

StinkHole Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 StuartEnvironmentalism is a cult.Penn and Teller did a great experiment. They went to a big Earth Day demonstration in Washington DC and interviewed people there. They also had a young lady go into the crowd with a petition, requesting people to sign it. This petition was to do away with "Dihydrogen Monoxide". Everyone she talked with signed the petition, even the people who had organized the demonstration in Washington DC!When this young lady did tell them what "Dihydrogen Monoxide" was they were amazed or speechless. You see, it is WATER - H2O!Ignorant liberal Kool-Aid drinkers. Tell them man is warming the earth and they believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
