The hubris in the climate change cult --because that is what it has become-- never ceases to both amaze and horrify me. Unbelievable.
I have said this here many times. If we continue to listen to these brainwashed cult members we are going to succeed at killing everything on this planet.
In a rational world, anyone proposing to control planetary-scale phenomena should be laughed off the stage. This cult has gained foothold in powerful political circles. This drives billions (hundreds of billions?) of dollars for research and general-purpose nonsense. The greedy among us (universities and private enterprise) jump on that bandwagon and promote the nonsense because it makes them millions of dollars.
It's a horrific positive feedback loop with potentially devastating consequences. The sad part is we are wasting time and obscene amounts of money that could be put to work on the reality of climate change, rather than the fantasies they continue to erect to keep the money machine going.
NOTE: In a rational world you should be able to get just as much funding from government to disprove or counter these hairbrained schemes. How much of that funding you think is available? Zero. Therefore, if you depend on research funding to make a living or a university depends on it to keep a department funded, guess what your conclusions are going to say, every, fucking, time?
Today, if you are a researcher or a business and dare go against what the cult has decreed to be "The One and Only Truth", your career is over and your business is going bankrupt. That should make everyone take pause. This is nothing less than Orwellian.
