COSMOS Sells Climate “Doom” As Science

mad scientistLast Fall, when I heard that the TV show COSMOS was coming back, I was a bit excited. I enjoyed the original, way back when, and was hopeful for the reboot.

But the first episode of the new COSMOS wasted no time demonstrating that axe-grinding propaganda would be part and parcel for its entertainment experience. “Science” would be at the beck and call of the writers, who proved themselves to be liberals, likely funded with money from liberals, who were going to use the show to promote ideas that secured funding for liberal mythologies rather than unbiased science.

I turned it off and walked away. I already know about liberal ‘science.’ It is all politics and little else. Revisiting it with splashy CGI would not make it less the lie.

I am not watching COSMOS, but as an observer of culture and media, I am still aware of the show, and it continues to use its claim at being about science, to lie to the public.

Last week was the “Global Warming is a fact and we have to do something for the children” episode. I watch 24 on demand and there were ads. There were a lot of ads. Ads with scary images that could have been written by the Obama National Climate Assessment team (rumored to be college age OFA staffers, with six degrees of gender studies separation from reality, and voting records in several states including New Hampshire).  That’s just a rumor.

And the timing of the episode vs. the scary and thoroughly debunked National Political Climate as a wealth redistribution tool assessment, by the way was not lost on me.

Nor was the fact that Leni Riefenstahl could have written and directed it for the greater glory of the rent-seeking climate fascists. Blame the ‘insert name of opponent here,’ and glorify the exalted saviors of ‘insert policy or agenda here.’

You don’t need a Fuhrer to get a feeling for the flavor of climate fascism.  If you don’t let us make energy cost more and tax the crap out of everyone (except you) DOOM!

The working people will suffer climate doom at the hands of the upper classes.   We must cleanse the earth of abundant and affordable energy and look forward to a new something something, that we can achieve, something something, together.  But only if you help us create an electoral mob that then uses laws we may just ignore later if we find them inconvenient to progressive policy that, for now, will punish our political opponents and something something to save the campaign coffers earth.

These are the same people who tried to run US guns into Mexico so they could then say look! we found US guns in Mexico.   The same people who said they leave no man behind, except maybe Ambassador Stevens and several others who ‘were left behind,’ video proof of which is available so  you can see the ambassadors corpse dragged through the streets.  A video viewed more times in the Muslim world than the one the same people ‘blamed for the attack that lead to the death of several americans who were left behind.

COSMOS.  Global Warming.  Save the green energy rentseekers planet.

The cure for this is a carbon tax, the end of cheap, abundant, and reliable energy, and a middle-class vanishing act. The new Middle class will be the working poor, as opposed to the unemployed and dependent poor, neither of whom will have cheap, abundant, and reliable energy. They will have rolling brown outs and black outs, but if it manages to finance Democrat cronies and big government projects designed to bribe the third world into staying third, it’s worth the ‘sacrifice.’

And COSMOS is just another tool in their propaganda tool chest.

It saddens me to see this vehicle abused (hijacked?) by the well off in media and entertainment (politics, etc), to lie to so many people about an issue whose sole purpose is to redistribute wealth by making the cost and quality of life for average Americans more expensive for no good reason. But then, that describes most media and entertainment—it is more the rule than the exception.

The current, and to some degree past presidents, most of the Democrat party, and far too many Republicans, pander to this agenda and simply accept that man’s past and current “influence” on climate can be expressed to a degree that might be detrimental to ourselves or future generations despite some glaring realities.

It’s not getting warmer.

Actual science and documented climate history tell us exactly why the weather does what it does, and what it did, long before progressives discovered they could fund-raise on it.

The computer models used to scare everyone, the same ones used to solicit millions in grants and ‘research dollars’ robbed from the productive classes, are so wrong as to be laughable, still wrong, and continue to be wrong.

Warmer is actually better for most plants and animals, including people—colder is worse. And Winter is coming.

No amount of man-made-global activism to combat the mythology of Global warming will do a damn thing to change the course of the climate.

The redirection of the fruits of other people’s labors to chase this chimera will have a serious impact on the comfort and quality of life all over the world.

The cost and “solutions” proposed to fight the global warming myth presents a more serious threat to the health, welfare, and comfort of human beings than not acting at all.

Now, this week, we had a major volcanic eruption. This event is the kind of thing that has a very real impact on climate and temperature. It can and will suppress the ability of the earth and her ocean to receive heat from the sun.

The Sun is another major driver of climate, along with the oceans. It has been hinting at going into a very long and quiet period, not unknown to mankind and human history. When the sun goes quiet, its gets colder.

The combination of major eruptions and a quiet sun change the dynamics of ocean temperature in a way that lead to decades of below average temperatures. Cold places have longer winters with those winters being unusually cold more often than not.

Yet, as I write this, the goal of the warmist zealots is to destroy access to abundant and affordable sources of heat.

People will freeze because the ruling class has convinced those in power that affordable and abundant energy are too much competition for industries they have more political power over.

If this is how it has to be, then I have a suggestion.

The first places to be put on the new wind and solar only grid should be university offices and faculty lounges, state and federal offices, and the homes and workspace of liberal Hollywood producers.

You think the earth is angry? Wait until northeastern professors are freezing their tenured asses off because they had to do something about global warming.
