Apollo Astronaut: Climate Alarmism Is the ‘Biggest Fraud in the Field of Science’

CNS ^ | July 2, 2014 | Craig Bannister

[Secret Agent Man]

when libs say something is over, it means, it isn’t, they’re losing, and they wish it was over.

[Amendment10]

"... federal research funding ..."

I should have stressed the excuse aspect of federal research funding. Who knows how these constitutionally indefensible federal funds are actually spent?

[tumblindice]

If the (formerly) `global warming’ alarmists/now `climate change’ cranks are going to make an argument that we should spend billions on, to compare the concern with something equivalent, say, discovering whether or not a Proctor-Silex toaster oven is orbiting (former planet) Pluto, they are going to have to come up with more evidence than: 1. “Because we say so”; and/or, 2. You have to disprove it.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Until they do so, we can continue to say, “Go fell a tree with a herring and boil your bottoms! Then pee up sisal ropes you lefty queer-bait silly persons ... we fart in your general direction you—ho ho—wipers of animal food troughs. Oui, ha ha, that’s telling them it, mon Dieu!”

[Techster]

Way to go Col. Cunningham (USMC, Ret.), tell it like it is. Facts are great destroyers of the untruth. Yes, the alarmist just skip over the required steps of the Scientific Method. And consensus is NOT a part of the Scientific Method.

[zot]

Thanks for the ping. The evidence that this is a fraud continues to accumulate.

[zot]

Yes, this administration is financing this fraud.

[Ezekiel]

AGW is popular with people who need to feel superior because it allows them to eco-shame less enlightened beings under the guise of environmental awareness and concern. It's a religion complete with ministers and priests and tithing, as well as its own sacrificial system.

AGW is also popular for those who are looking for more and more money to fall into their hands as they invent "green" "and earth-friendly" products and services for gullible consumers who need to show how much they care.

I wonder what is the breakdown between true believers in AGW and those who are laughing all the way to the bank with their "green" in hand.

Seems like the meanings of re-use and recycling have been divorced from the concepts of thriftiness and resourcefulness, and now are wedded to emotional arguments that cost a whole lot of money and waste resources, time, money, and talent.

There are an awful lot of home products/building materials out there that cost an arm and a leg over conventional materials, yet are x% recycled content. IOW, glorified trash. A successful business model based on converting trash to treasure is one thing, but I suspect that there are some hefty profit margins for those who demonize profits while shaming "wasteful" people.

Generally the whole eco scam is predicated upon ego, insincerity, underhanded manipulation, and outright deceit. Explains why AlGore is the high priest.

[xzins]

ministers, priests, tithing...sacrificial...

I've got the first 3. What is the sacrifice in their earth religion? (Serious question)

[familyop]

"So, what does dictate the Earth's temperature? Cunningham says it's well-established that "principle controllers" are natural forces like sun, ocean temperature, and even volcanic activity."

Yes. It's fake. It came from other fears.

Decades ago, a few men interested in security matters knew that nations would be fighting over oil and other natural fuel resources. The news sent the most influential political constituents into fits of hysteria. Then, west coast political/regulator NIMBYs started wringing their hands about competing for water resources with the increasing flood of slaves that they were bringing in to choose from.

We've also been lied to about the plan for shutting down coal as a fuel for power plants. It's not about windmills and solar power. The plan is to switch to natural gas for firing those plants. The Investors/bosses in natural gas are going to make a killing, and natural gas prices will also go sky high. Follow the money.

Influential political constituents have run to commodities--once considered to be some of the riskiest investments. Each faction wants to force the non-influential masses to buy from it and is regulating against competitors and self-sufficiency (for example, regulations against homebuilt, alternative heating systems that work).

[Captain Peter Blood]

Bingo!, That is my argument right there to global warming. When the Dinosaurs roamed the earth it was substantially warmer just as Col. Cunningham says. So the question is what caused the earth to cool and where did all that excess CO2 go?

[xzins]

My outdoor wood furnace, for example

[xzins]

excess co2....soda pop fountains. (You had to ask? :>)

[Ezekiel]

Where to start?

Natural resource rationing and restriction (voluntary or otherwise). Reducing that "carbon footprint" or if you can't make the scarifice yourself, you pay for carbon offsets to cancel the effects of your bigfoot carbon monster.

Purchasing substandard products and services in order to benefit Gaia. We are increasingly forced to buy new items on replacement that "save energy" vs. goods/appliances that work properly and efficiently, because the old style has been either been run off/shamed out of the market or outlawed. Don't like the new light bulbs, toilets, and washing machines? Well now, if you were a proper worshiper you would willing embrace the inefficiencies and be happy to make sacrifices in comfort and convenience in order to save the planet. The true believers will let you know if your sacrifices aren't sufficient.

And on a more humorous note, think of all the time people spend rinsing and sorting their recyclables, in order to separate paper/plastic/glass from common/profane trash.

These are then offered up to the garbage god every week or whenever the truck rolls through, or the items are dropped off at some central collection point.

The God of Abraham required perfect sacrifices, the best of the animals, without blemish. Gaia, OTOH, demands... trash. Garbage in, garbage out.

"My outdoor wood furnace, for example"

There's some info behind the following link. Notice the "Step 2" "emission limits" in five years.

http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2014-02/documents/proposed-nsps-overviewslides20140218.pdf

The appliances to be affected: adjustable burn rate stoves, single burn rate stoves, pellet stoves, outdoor and indoor hydronic heaters, forced air furnaces and masonry heaters.

The wood stoves allowed by step 2 of the EPA rule (probably with catalytic reburners and/or filters) will be extremely expensive and use far more wood than a contemporary home-built rocket stove mass heater or masonry heater. But there are always ways around being robbed by the political/regulator class, and technically inclined people will find those ways.

Components for a solar, drainback heating system and rocket stove mass heaters were already already outlawed by regulations that allow local mechanical inspectors the discretion to reject them. Factory-built, SRCC certified solar collectors and approved masonry heater installs don't save money.

[xzins]

Thanks, Ezekiel. I was thinking along those lines, but wanted to be sure.

[xzins]

The rocket stoves are the masonry type built right into corners of a house?

One thing that amuses me are the numbers on cost of their centralized “solar power stations”. They can buy a complete, independent solar panel unit with 20+ kw service for each home more cheaply than they can centralize it and send it out on wires to each of those homes.

Besides that, they’d create a huge number of installation and service jobs, the service jobs being permanent.

So, it really isn’t about ‘clean’ energy. It’s about centralization and awarding a new class of energy cronies with the money from monthly energy bills.

He has nothing to worry about from NASA, since his last assignment was working on Skylab.

Not so fast. Astronauts will their bodies to NASA for research. Who knows what macabre desecrations the greens and muslims in charge there will order.

[familyop]

And do install LED lighting. It's a real money saver. Use dimmers specifically made for LEDs wherever useful in order to make them last much longer. That will save money and will work much better outdoors in cold weather than flourescents.

The following want us to be forced to feed their commodity (energy)-invested pension funds and other funds.

And I’m sure you have noticed that the eco-cult society that America has morphed into is becoming increasingly hostile, hateful, jugmental, and intolerant of those who hold to traditional American forms of worship and ethics.

Kind of strange if the enviromovement is just science and progress IOW religiously neutral. Talk about a government establishment of religion. Beast.gov rammed its poison “communion” wafers down our throats in broad daylight by steering clear of a religious label.
