Climate Dogma and the ‘Ignorance of Experts’
By Vijay Jayaraj
Much of the media’s playbook is straightforward: Push repeatedly a predetermined agenda. I was one of perhaps billions of people who fell for this tried-and-true method of mass deception. Even some of the most intelligent people came to fear a climate catastrophe on our beautiful blue planet.
If you have found yourself among the deceived, be not discomfited by your error. Individuals are preoccupied with their lives and lack the time or proficiency to explore the complex nuances of climate science.
Most consumers of news are vulnerable to the work of clever writers quoting seemingly legitimate policymakers and scientists handpicked by the United Nations to convey apocalyptic information. Falling for the classic fallacy of Appeal to Authority is a common result. Statements are taken to be true just because someone in authority said so.
The public, weary of complexity, craves simple villains and saviors. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the perfect evildoer – a threat that can be taxed, regulated and rallied against. Meanwhile, policymakers revel in the power that a perpetual emergency bestows on them. The confusion of a crisis and the proclamations, ultimatums and deadlines that ensue alternately produce paralysis and panicked action.
