I was talking to someone today about things in the news and they were irritated by "climate deniers". Now here is the funny thing, the person knows that 90% of the mainstream media is owned by about six companies and readily admit this. I told him that I did not believe we were experiencing global warming and climate change is not the consequence of industrial activities. The volcano Krakatoa put up enough in the air by itself to change the planets weather and that was more than all of the industrial age has put in the air, we are not just that powerful. I am against polluting; but, I don't need a feel to make up stories.
He didn't want to believe that "scientists" could lie to such a degree as he believes that most scientists believe in climate change. Well, climates do change and have since the beginning of the earth and we have only been industrial for the last couple hundred years. The fact that the planets all warmed and cooled at the same time is not evidence that building cars effects the climate. We are regularly fed lies by mainstream science. These is the same group of people who promoted racially based science. Investigate the science of eugenics and social Darwinism. Did you know that much of the "science" on second hand smoke was based upon studies of babies whose mothers smoked while pregnant? Yet how many "scientists" will bring that up? Do it and see what happens to your career. The science may have value; but, the spin is for a social and political reason. Scientists are just people and respond to the same pressures and pleasures, they follow the money too.
Now why did I post this. I won't remember it and he asked me to write down my response, which I have.
