For years, the Left pushed the idea that Christian Church was backward and barbaric. They said that the Church taught that we were the center of the universe, and everything revolved around us. But the noble and special Scientist Galileo was not afraid to dissent. He pushed the Copernican idea that the Earth moved around the Sun. The Church punished the dissenter but Science prevailed in the end.

The Left today does not see that they are the Church and we are Galileo.

The climate crisis is disinformation because the climate is Natural

This guy works on nanotech-based solar cells. Sounds like a bit of a conflict of interest.

It’s not about science.

It’s about power.

That a so-called “professor” thinks this way (stifling dissent is O.K.) reflects the sad horrible state of higher education in the U.S.

would this “professor” subject himself to the same penalties?

Because his ilk are the true purveyors of “disinformation.”

Its not just climate science that has been politicized and made to confirm despite data by its paymasters. Entire university science departments, academic Medicine, the CDC and the FDA have all been corrupted and are no longer credible.

There is a climate model that is 93% accurate, far more accurate than any GIGO computer model.

It is called “the solar cycle.”

Can’t use it though, because it doesn’t give the answer desired by the science-denying climate change scammers.

Ideology follows interest.

Yes even for scientists. And scientists selling their souls to evil regimes is an old story. Happened a lot in the 20th century.

There is a reason that the Democrats focus their energy against the Catholic Church. Actually, there are a lot of reasons, but the Catholic Church had become a business and like most businesses, they were focused more on profit than saving souls. That made them an easier target than the diverse Protestant sects.

Skepticism is one of the most important, if not THE most important, quality of any true scientist.
