1. Maybe they were serious once.
And maybe, as the value of attention became clear to some aspiring science student, some political ingénue, some neo-Marxist ideologue, they considered that the 'new ice age' headlines were fading, they could gain some traction by predicting the very opposite headline: "Global Warming!!!"
"To illustrate a principle you must exaggerate much and you must omit much."
Walter Bagehot
And exaggerate, they did......so much so that to the insightful.....it has become a joke, an amusement, notwithstanding the waste of taxpayer dollars in supporting the scam.
2. Lots of us were vaguely amused when the leading dunce of the Cuomo bunch of dunces, said this:
“You know, Ali, anyone who questions extreme weather and climate change is just delusional at this point. We have seen in the State of New York what everyone has seen, we seen these weather patterns that we never had before. We didn’t have hurricanes, we didn’t have super storms, we didn’t have tornadoes," Cuomo said.
New York has a long history of being in the path of hurricanes and tropical storms, such as the 1903 Vagabond Hurricane, the New England Hurricane of 1938, Hurricanes Carol and Edna in 1954, and Hurricane Donna in 1960."
NY Gov. Cuomo: We Didn’t Have Hurricanes or Tornadoes Before Climate Change
3. "About 45 years ago, a handful of climatologists surrendered to new evidence and switched sides. They moved from predicting a coming ice age to warning of the dangers of impending global warming. With the promise of a flood of federal grants, they were joined by a growing chorus of academics. They began chirping the warming alarms like a house full of defective smoke detectors.
After a decade of data which did not support the warming theory or their hockey stick predictions, the alarmists again pivoted. Alarmists dismissed this as a pause. They conveniently replaced “global warming” with “climate change”. If there wasn’t evidence to support their hockey stick chart, there was daily evidence of change. The same people who tell us not to confuse climate with weather are the first to rush to the microphones whenever there is a wild fire, flood or hurricane on the horizon. All as if discerning people wouldn’t notice. Some of us noticed. Americans became more skeptical. So did a small group of scientists who were brave enough to start asking serious questions and reviewing the data.
Not that long ago, that was what most scientists did."
Where Are the Real Scientists?
