Is it hot outside? Global warming. Is it cold outside? Global warming. Is it raining? Global warming. Is it dry? Global warming. Fires in Texas, a completely normal event with a long precedent? Global warming. Flooding Asia — another event with a long precedent? Global warming. Is there nothing global warming can’t explain? Pretty soon they’ll be blaming it for earthquakes, too.
The latest alarmist report comes from the notorious Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) — the United Nations organization with a history of ignoring flaws in its studies, getting its predictions wrong, coming under criticism even from fellow alarmists regarding its analytical process, and flat-out ignoring critics from the scientific fields.
Here’s the bottom line:
They need the sweet research money and international wealth redistribution to continue flowing, and for that they need people to remain afraid of burning up thanks to my SUV and your hair care products.
Convincing people they’ll all die of the planet’s warming is difficult when people are freezing in October. So rather than admit, hey, maybe there’s something else going on here — like the end of an ice age — they’ll insist seemingly contradictory results just confirm their previous claims.
