This has given the NY Times a big sad. How quick does this turn into cult propaganda?
Trump Hires Scientists Who Doubt the Consensus on Climate Change
Wait, I don’t have global heating on here?
The Energy Department has hired at least three scientists who are well-known for their rejection of the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change, according to records reviewed by The New York Times.
The scientists are listed in the Energy Department’s internal email system as current employees of the agency, the records show. They are Steven E. Koonin, a physicist and author of a best-selling book that calls climate science “unsettled”; John Christy, an atmospheric scientist who doubts that human activity has caused global warming; and Roy Spencer, a meteorologist who believes that clouds have had a greater influence on warming than humans have.
Consensus is not science. The consensus at one time was that the Sun went around the Earth. Dinosaurs were lizards. Ulcers were caused by stress. That plate tectonics was mule fritters. Really, the wackos have weaponized consensus, especially as it relates to the climate cult. Nowhere in the article are any of the three scientists disproven wrong. Just cultishly deemed wrong. And, yeah, water vapor is the number one greenhouse gas.
A vast majority of scientists around the world agree that human activities — primarily the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal — are dangerously heating the Earth. That has increased the frequency and intensity of heat waves, droughts and colossal bursts of rain like the storm that caused the deadly flooding now devastating central Texas.
Fuck you for using that killer flood for your cult propaganda. You should be utterly ashamed of yourself for doing this when the bodies haven’t even been buried yet.
In addition to his role at the University of Alabama, Dr. Spencer is a policy adviser at the Heartland Institute, a conservative group that rejects mainstream climate science. He previously served as a scientist at NASA and as a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing group responsible for creating Project 2025, a conservative blueprint for the new administration.
The mainstream scientific consensus on medicine was that certain ailments could be fixed by “bleeding” patients, usually using leeches. If someone had a fever they thought it was due to too much blood.
Michael Mann, a climate scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, expressed alarm that the Energy Department had hired the three scientists.
“What this says is that the administration has no respect for the actual science, which overwhelmingly points in the direction of a growing crisis as we continue to warm the planet through fossil-fuel burning, the consequences of which we’ve seen play out in recent weeks in the form of deadly heat domes and floods here in the U.S.,” Dr. Mann wrote in an email.
This is the same guy who refuses to debate. I’m not particularly happy using an article at creation.com, but, there are a couple lines of note
Actually, a major reason most scientists believe in evolution is that most scientists believe in evolution! This is a type of ‘confirmation bias’: the alleged scientific consensus was reached by counting heads, which themselves reached their conclusion by counting heads. If most of them were asked for actual evidence, they would likely give very weak answers outside their field of expertise.
For example, one of the world’s leading experts on fossil birds—and a staunch critic of the dino-to-bird dogma, is Dr Alan Feduccia, Professor Emeritus at the University of North Carolina. He remains an evolutionist, however, yet when challenged, his prime ‘proof’ was corn changing into corn!8
Is evolution correction? Possible. But, it cannot be fully proven at this time. It can be asserted.
As the famous author Michael Crichton (1942–2008), who had a previous career in medicine and science, said:
“Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.
“There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period.”9
If the people who use consensus tell me it is a crisis won’t act like it’s a crisis in their own lives why would I believe their consensus on doom?

The Trump administration said Monday it will soon revoke the legal immigration status of more than 70,000 immigrants from Honduras and Nicaragua, its latest effort to curtail humanitarian programs that allow foreigners to stay in the U.S. temporarily.
You probably don’t think about climate change as you butter your toast. But behind every slice of bread, there’s a crop that’s increasingly under threat. Globally, farmers are facing blistering heat, shorter rainy seasons, and crops that don’t grow like they used to. And yet, scientists and farmers are teaming up to fight back with new seeds, new knowledge, and a shared mission to protect the food on your table.
The top United Nations court will on July 23 issue a nonbinding opinion on countries’ legal obligation to fight climate change, a decision expected to be cited in climate change-driven litigation around the world, the court said on Monday.
Democrats are rethinking ways to recapture voters they’ve lost to President Trump in recent election cycles, and they may have been offered an important lesson in the New York mayoral primary.

As President Donald Trump intensifies his targeting of undocumented immigrants, the GOP megabill passed Thursday takes aim at those here legally by revoking their access to subsidized care.
