Certain politicians and tin pot dictators have long employed the tried and true method of using crises to keep constituents from "looking behind the curtain".<\/p>\n
The most effective method of diverting attention away from how badly things are being run is to find a target menace and make it so terrifying that good sense flies out the window. Uninformed citizens (elites & masses alike) who get their news from TV instead of real sources blindly follow the government piper over the hill. <\/p>\n
A competing nation can be made into a boogeyman to frighten the rubes and get their tax money, but for real control of the citizens, you need a global crisis. This is where the cargo cult scientists like James Hansen come in. They will whip up computer models that will prove whatever a politician needs.<\/p>\n
You want a global disaster of apocalyptic proportions? Hansen and his cohorts have a hockey stick generator that will make your hair stand up. Temps are rising! Seas are rising! We're all gonna die in five years!<\/p>\n
Unfortunately he will not reveal his source data so other scientists can duplicate his findings. Real science requires that experiments are repeatable.<\/p>\n
The UN knows a good thing when they see it so they sponsor the IPCC<\/a>, their Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to push an agenda that will increase UN influence. After all, the Oil for Food scam is dead, so they need a new reason to exist.<\/p>\n Many scientists in the IPCC disagreed with the slanted reports put out by the UN and they set up the International Conference on Climate Change<\/a> which counters the junk science coming out of the IPCC. This series of conferences is sponsored<\/a> by a number of organizations. If you have any curiosity about what is actually happening in terms of climate change, you might start by reading the most recent proceedings<\/a>.<\/p>\n Richard Feynman's 1974 Commencement address at CalTech provides the definitive definition of Cargo Cult Science.<\/a> In it he points out the dishonesty of falsely promoting one's research to secure funding. <\/p>\n Only a few years ago, James Hansen was promoting Global Cooling. Now he has switched to a more remunerative prediction. Computer models can "prove" almost anything. <\/p>\n I wonder what the next "global crisis" is in the works? <\/p>\n Maybe they will try to prove water vapor and CO2 are pollutants… Oh, right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Certain politicians and tin pot dictators have long employed the tried and true method of using crises to keep constituents from "looking behind the curtain".
