Fixing the climate with science: What could possibly go wrong?

We can fix Mother Nature, right?

The arrogance of ignorance has no bounds

But bounds about in unintended consequential glee,

Sure of its brilliance,

Unrestricted by its stupidity.

The weather is broken. To some degree, this is because we broke it

Human beings do not have the ability to 'break the weather'. Sure we can mess up the air and water quality, by emissions or dumping chemicals, etc. in lakes and streams, but the overall climate is way too big for us to affect.

"The weather is broken. To some degree, this is because we broke it"

And the rooster made the sun rise this morning.

Homosexuality is normal but blizzards and windstorms and earthquakes are "unnatural".

Stalinists lie. Always.

They’ve already overcorrected the weather once. Recall 40 years ago we were headed for a new ice age. Now we are headed to a giant dust bowl. Save us from “scientists”.

Sorry, obscure reference. The mighty and omniscient Al Gore himself said the earth’s core was “several millions of degrees.”

He was, of course, wrong.

Only three hurricanes have hit the US during Obama’s presidency. That is the fewest number for any modern President. The US is having a record cold July. The Arctic is having one of its coldest summers on record. President Obama, the Oligarch’s and the MSM are all lying.

But doesn't it make a rather dramatically critical difference whether the "in part" refers to 1% responsibility or 99%?

Liberal guilt, New Age philosophy makes me 100% responsible for everything that happens in the Universe. Sucks to be guilty of everything. It's sorta like Judaism without God. Instead of atoning for your sins by sacrificing a ram or a calf or a couple of doves you get to sacrifice your commonsense, self-esteem and instinct for self-preservation....

climate change made Earth what it is today, don’t mess with mother nature.

Don Rumsfeld: "There are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.
There are known unknowns; that is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know.
But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we do not know.

This blithering fool can place the sum of his entire knowledge in the last category.
