Intellectual Climate Debate: The Alarmists are Alarmed
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- January 18, 2023
“… the self-professed expert class and many who call themselves journalists dismiss anyone who questions their Covid vaccine orthodoxy as an ‘anti-vaxxer’—a label as sneering as ‘climate denier’.” [“‘Experts’ Are Fueling Distrust in Vaccines,” Allysia Finley, Wall Street Journal (January 9, 2023)

Everyone likes competition for the things they buy but not for the things they sell. Climate alarmists are selling, and many of us are urging the public not to buy—with success. That has caused an uptick in censorship tricks by the activist Left.

Witness YouTube censoring an interview by the Heartland Institute with esteemed climatologist Judith Curry. Both sides understand that a fair and open debate on climate change exposes the exaggeration and neuters the alarmism–and debate over wind/solar/batteries exposes the hypocrisy of those claiming to have the green, living space in mind.

And the spin doctors (AKA propagandists) are hard at work.
Scientists, like all discoverers of truth, have always asked, "What?” “How?” “Why?” “What if?” and “Why not?” Questioning science is science.

Human activity, alone, is not enough to change global climate.  Humans aren't as special as we'd like to believe.

It's hubris to believe that Man is the ultimate Power in the universe and it is dangerous to believe that Science is the ultimate Truth.

Global Climate Change activists are guilty of the sin of Pride.
