I’m a young meteorologist who questioned the idea of man-made climate change

FROM CHRIS MARTZ:

Science doesn’t support the theory that climate change caused the Texas floods. But any attempts to have science-based discussion about the issue are being repressed.

Over the weekend, Sam Zeff, a reporter for KCUR, Kansas City’s NPR affiliate, told me over X that “you wasted your money on your degree.”

I am a recent college graduate with a degree in meteorology. Zeff was replying to my post on social media, pointing out that he, and other climate activists, were ignoring basic scientific facts when they blamed man-made climate change for the tragic flooding in Texas. The truth is that the rainfall and flooding along the Guadalupe River were not historically unprecedented and had little, if anything, to do with climate change. Neither heavy rainfall nor river flooding has increased in the Texas Hill Country over the last six decades.

The devastating loss of life in Texas is a reminder of the importance of meteorology and accurate science when it comes to understanding the weather. This is no time for politics or finger-pointing from either the left or the right.

As a trained meteorologist with a passion for truth, I can authoritatively tell folks on the right that the floods were not caused by cloud seeding or “chemtrails.” Yet, when I also try to explain the data to social media users on the left, showing them that there is no evidence climate change caused or exacerbated the Texas floods, the conversations quickly devolve into insults or even threats.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Being a 'heretic' has its cost, usually only compensated by people coming up to you years later to quietly mumble apologies because you were right. Sometimes, they were among your most vocal critics.

Just make sure your ducks are in a solid, scientific row, and stick to your guns, with the thought that if you are ever proven wrong, not just shouted down, but through good science scrupulously performed, that you can let go of a position  truly disproven.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
If anything has been blatantly clear, science is subjective, and inconsequential when it comes to scientific concerns in the western world.  Western leaders have been destroying their own countries for the benefit of communism.  Plain and simple.

And the UGLY TRUTH is that it is all a lie.  And has been a lie for 50 years.  Any way to bilk money from the masses, so be it.

No one out there telling the truth, just people looking to empty your pockets further over a BIG FAT NOTHING!
