.... one has to wonder how the future will play out, assuming America’s
radical, underground climate change countermovement prevails,
especially considering how they bully Congress, blocking any semblance
of a national renewable energy policy. After all, in their eyes:
The
“visual pollution” of wind turbines and solar panels lowers property
values!
But,
this story is much deeper than the selfish interests and infamy of the
Kochs and much deeper than what appears on surface. For example, the
climate deniers are so paranoid that they go so far as to intimidate
scientific journals that publish relatively innocuous articles vis a
vis their countermovement, and on occasion, successfully, by way of
threatening legal action, they cause retractions of peer-review
scientific papers that they find offensive. This is symptomatic of a
paranoia-plus personality type, very similar to the mentality of
terrorists cell members found throughout Al-Qaeda’s network.
It’s not new news that a well-funded effort to destroy the sanctity of
scientific evidence of climate change has persisted in America for
many, many years. It is out in the open and written about in countless
articles, the Koch brothers and too many others to name, highjack the
news and plant stories wherever and whenever possible, all funded by
deep pocket billionaires. It’s a blatant right-wing sell-out of
everything democracy ever stood for. And, it’s remarkable that
everybody knows all about it! It’s absolutely remarkable, but caution
is in order because it’s the unknowns behind their intentions that’s
most threatening.
(Oh, there's more)
I sent a note to Mr Hunzicker:
ReplyDeleteIf you are correct about climate change being man-caused, then you imply we teeny humans living on this huge orb can influence our climate.
Therefore, what should the annual low, high, and mean temperatures be where you live? Two degrees higher or two degrees lower than last year? How about the past 50 years, or 1000 years?
How about the same temperature points in Saskatchewan? They might appreciate a little warming and a correspondingly longer growing season, or perhaps resort owners in the Catskills and Appalachians might like it a little cooler so they can keep tourists coming for skiing a little longer.
We haven't talked about the earth's gigantic molten core or the multimillion degree gas ball a few miles away. You flatter yourself Sir, to think you and I can overwhelm those powers.
