The science conspiracy
Posted by lazlow | Filed under Politics
The conservoweboconspirosphere this week is all wound up about hacked emails that purport to prove that scientists are part of a vast conspiracy to convince us the earth is warming.
Scientists.
You know, the people that invented the computer, the rocket engine, the iphone, GPS, roller coasters, the Internet and artificial hearts. They are part of a CONSPIRACY!!!
They will sit around in their sciencey clothes and cackle with glee as they pull a big one on the world! “HA HA HA YOU STUPID MORONS! WE’RE SCIENTISTS! NOW YOU HAVE TO DRIVE SISSY ELECTRIC CARS CAUSE WE TOTALLY SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF YOU!
HA! YOU ALL LOOK SO GAY WITH YOUR SOLAR PANELS!
Members of Congress, especially whores like Sen. James Inhofe who has been deep throating oil company campaign money, are trumpeting the lines their pimps have been providing them, furthering their ridiculous line of reasoning that 1. Scientists are idiots or 2. Scientists are trying to fool us.
The rest of the first world(which by the way has universal health insurance) has accepted that climate change is real and that we need to do something about it. Here in the United States people look like babies throwing tantrums cause they’re scared of change.
It’s really simple actually. If you put a bunch of people in a room, pretty soon it gets hot and stuffy. If everyone in a football dome holds up a lighter, eventually it will get really hot in there. Welcome to the concept that billions of people on the earth burning shit makes it get hot. Not a hard concept to grasp.
And why would anyone want to spend their life’s work proving that we’re fucked? “Hey guys, I was right, i’ve done 30 years of climate research, and we’re fucked. Isn’t that awesome?”
Nobody seems to explain what rationale or motive there would be for scientists to hoodwink everyone on the planet. There isn’t profit to be made. Strangely, or not so strangely, the ones spreading the most amount of disinformation about global warming are the ones making billions burning fossil fuels.

I am not so sure that body heat leads to global warming. I think it is more damage to the ozone from pollutants.

EDIT: Ozone depletion isn’t global warming. Greenhouse gases. Burning coal and fossil fuels. I drive my car on biodiesel; it’s carbon neutral. Ask Willie Nelson.

I agree, but that’s what we get when allowing our government to become corporatists. The hydrogen engine has been working well since the 70′s with zero harmful emissions, yet we still guzzle oil. Why? because water doesn’t make as much money as oil does. It never really mattered who it helps, it’s always been how much they can make, and how humanitarian they can LOOK like while doing it. Haliburton is partially to blame for this oil spill, but guess who’s pockets our taxes go into for the cleanup?

Actually it goes deeper than that. Al Gore is not a scientist. He’s just a guy, who wants to put carbon taxes on your ass. So there is profit involved, whether you like it or not. Ever heard of CO2 quotas? Countries trade between each other the amounts of CO2 emissions they’ve been allowed to put out. This is as good as gold.
Rise of CO2 was never scientifically proven to be the root cause of climate change. What we’re dealing with is a case of correlation.
Now to the sciency stuff: climate change is not global, it’s happening in our whole solar system. Try to explain how the fuck driving a gas guzzling SUV makes Mars heat up? I’m all for alternative fuel. If Stan Mayer wasn’t assassinated back in the 80′s for inventing a car that runs of hydrogen, synthesized on demand from a tank of tap water, this world would be a good place to live. But instead we’re being introduced to a fucking PRIUS. Don’t try to tell me that it’s just as exciting to drive as a Camaro.
Now I’m sure trying to “save the planet” is a noble cause and makes you feel good about yourself, but entire human population produces only 6% of CO2 on the planet. You’re not the cause and you ain’t gonna do shit about it! End of argument. I’d suggest all the fucking tree huggers to stop being so self important.
