Free Beacon Mocks NPR Hour on Talking to 'Dangerous Idiots' on Climate(#mealso)
newsbusters.org ^ | 10/21/2018 | Tim Graham

Posted on 10/21/2018 7:02:44 AM PDT by rktman

Our friend David Rutz at the Washington Free Beacon listened to a typically one-sided hour of National Public Radio on climate change on Tuesday and wrote an article titled "NPR: How Do We Talk to the Dangerous Idiots Who Disagree With Us?"

The national talk show 1A tweeted out this summation: "Climate change is a fundamental threat. The science is clear and scientists around the world agree that this a man-made problem. What, if anything, can be done to win over climate skeptics?"

Rutz summarized it this way: "I listened to a remarkable bit of self-parody on National Public Radio on Tuesday: a moderator, a pair of experts, and some very earnest listeners trying to figure out how to most politely tell climate change skeptics they are dangerous idiots."

1A host Joshua Johnson led off the program with this summary:

Clearly climate change is tough to discuss, despite overwhelming scientific evidence of its existence. Or maybe because of that evidence. I mean, think about it. If someone tried to hit you over the head with a bunch of facts and figures, supremely confident that they are right and you are wrong, how would you feel? Or, if someone flat out refused to hear you out, despite the facts being really clear, and just dug in their heels to avoid feeling like they lost an argument, what would that be like? We want to elevate this debate, to change the way we talk about climate change.

Yup. Give it up you fools. We science folks are a lot smarter than y'all so give it up. Don't worry about the data that counters our data. We have FEDERAL funding so that makes it more pertinenter.

We would have to live 10,000 times longer to see the Climate change

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

The simplest way I would put this Global Warming BS is “man is causing global warming, because man doesn’t know how to stop producing man”.

NPR maintain tax funding ‘cause the GOP is too weak to defund them.

To the idiot “climate scientists” on the far left. What is the DNC’s NUMBER ONE agenda right now? They are pimping their snowflakes to get rid of capitalism and replace it with Marxism/Socialism. What is the best way to stop capitalism? “DA ENVIOMEN! We gotta stop dat climate change that has been occurring for millions of years!”

All I ask is for someone to tell me if they think we are no longer in the Quaternary (A geologic time period from roughly 2.58M years until now!). The Quaternary is characterized by cyclic transcontinental periods of glaciation. So unless the last glaciation (Commonly called Ice Age - actually one many many!) was indeed the very last, which means we’re in another geologic time period. Ok what’s the geologic evidence? Not computer simulated evidence! Geologic physical evidence!

Remember the last major glaciation ended roughly 22,000 years ago and we have been coming out if it, (You know getting warmer!) It must have been caused by all that Neanderthal heavy industry & SUVs.

My Q&A with chicken little always goes like this. Question: “What is the solution for climate change, how much will it cost, who pays that cost, who gets the money and finally, if the scientists are wrong, what is the mitigation strategy for preventing a global disaster?”

Answer: “You are a racist.”

Well, probably because of warming pangea broke into smaller chunks of land?

This is just more proof that “Global Warming” is caused by government funding to academics.

Nothing could be easier. Just release your unadjusted data. Remembering that Michael Mann (hockey stick graph) lost his defamation suit against Dr. Tim Ball because he refused to release his data, I wonder what he has to hide...

Pressure China and India to come into line with the US.
Ban private aircraft
Ban US funding for study and require China and India to fund study

“The science is clear...”

Those who really know the science know THAT is a lie.

If I had scientific information that would SAVE THE WORLD then I would be releasing ALL my data to EVERYONE, EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK.

And yet Mann, Jones et al, keep their data secret.

It’s “propriety” don’tcha know.

Saturday’s NPR had a professor announcing a “study” (paid by US) proving that conservatives are sloppy bigots and that “liberals” are perfect people.On one of its afternoon shows.
STOP FUNDING THESE PERVERTS
