I have long followed Simon Black of Sovereign Man. His straightforward statements of fact contrast markedly with so much of the drivel we are spoon fed today, and he often provides incredibly relevant vignettes of historical events that provide brilliant examples of why drivel is dangerous and reason based on facts existentially necessary.
Today's essay is typical in both regards. Remarkably, while discussing COP28 and the hordes of billionaires flying to a climate conference in private jets to discuss ending fossil fuel use in order to end warming of our climate after it became globally known that many of the jets were delayed in those flights by being unseasonably frozen to the runway, he doesn't even mention that humiliating proof of AGW deception. What he does mention is how Galileo was ordered by the Inquisition to no longer discuss or teach his theory that Earth and the other planets orbited the Sun, and that the Earth was not the center of the universe.
Why did the church order Galileo to not say or teach what he knew was the fact? Because the church's power depended on the lie that the Earth was the center of the universe, so they claimed the science was clear: what he was saying was heresy, and if he kept saying it, they would burn him alive. The parallels with COP28 and AGW are stunning, and after the massive propaganda campaign promoting first terror over a practically harmless disease, and then promoting injections with novel medical devices that were claimed to eliminate risk of catching that disease that were 'safe and effective', that has now been proved to be bullshit, we don't need to go back to the Inquisition to find examples of the politically powerful bullshitting us while claiming 'the science is clear'.
I'll refer you to Simon's discussion of that clarity of science being complete bullshit regarding fossil fuels, and the 'Green Revolution' intended to replace it. His essay is short and to the point: the claim 'the science is clear' isn't true, the Green Revolution is impossible, and he states facts that demonstrate those conclusions. I recently posted Pretense of Science Leading us Astray to resounding indifference, so don't take my word for it. Simon Black is a far better writer with a knack for providing examples from history and evidence that is far more compelling.
Lives are in the balance. Civilization is at a breakpoint. Humanity is poised on the precipice of war. Please read “The science is clear,” and other fanatical assertions. Don't leave my failure to provide convincing statements of this thesis the only essay between you and falling for bullshit that may do you irreparable harm. Simon says it much better than I can.
