When A Black Astrophysicist Says I Don't Understand,...

I've always doubted climate change, don't think I've seen the evidence, and still wonder if it's true. BUT - if Neil deGrasse Tyson says it's so - then, damn it, I'll go along because A) the man is black and he speaks plain, and B) he's got credibility like that, so I won't challenge him. 

If he says it's real, then it's real:

  In an interview with the Inquiring Minds podcast, astrophysicist and Cosmos star Neil deGrasse Tyson claimed that those who “cherry pick science,” like climate change deniers, “simply don’t understand how science works.”

“That’s what I claim,” he continued, because “if they did, they’d be less prone to just assert that somehow scientists are clueless.” He also said that he wouldn’t debate anti-scientific people — as Bill Nye famously did last month — because “I don’t have the time or the energy or the interest in doing so. As an educator, I’d rather just get people thinking straight in the first place, so I don’t have to then debate them later on.”

Like I said - he's black - so that makes total sense to me,...

Greenpeace's Patrick Moore Is Destroying His Creation

“A kind of nasty combination of extreme political ideology and a religious cult all rolled into one,…”

Crazy: It's Here, It's There, It's Everywhere, So Beware

Everybody sees the problem - my problem - but absolutely no one can, or will, stop it:

The purported opposition between "skeptics" and adherents to "the scientific consensus" is nonsensical, for skepticism is at the very heart of the scientific method. When the data call a theory into question, a scientist revisits the theory. Instead, the panel is employing the antiscientific method: It "is expected to affirm" the theory "with greater certainty than ever." 

 The phrase "Homeopathy works for me!" has always had greater social significance than I ever imagined,..

My "Computer Model" Is More Accurate Than The IPCCs

I haven't made the NewAge correlation, between climate change and psychics, in quite a long time:

"It would appear that the IPCC is running out of answers .  .  . to explain why there is a widening gap between predictions and reality."

Maybe somebody should ask Shirley MacLaine,....

When This Man Is Your Hero I'm Proud To Be A Pariah

He's made millions, spouting sciencey-sounding malarky, and all because they'd eat it up:

“However, instead of completely melting away, the polar icecap is at now at its highest level for this time of year since 2006. 

Satellite photos of the Arctic taken by NASA in August 2012 and August 2013 show a 60 percent increase in the polar ice sheet, more than half the size of Europe, despite “realistic” predictions by climate scientists six years ago that the North Pole would be completely melted by now. Instead of shrinking, the NASA photographs clearly show that the Arctic ice sheet is much larger than it was at the same time last year. 

The thick layer of summer ice, which currently stretches from Canada to Russia, is preventing ships from using the North-West Passage.”

I remember almost being thrown out of someone's house, for trying to calm a woman as she screamed about the polar bears - a result of misinformation, few consider, as the claim it's all so harmless revolves. It's not. These fools think they're just talking but, in ways large and small, society stops working. Lives are put in peril.

Ha! Listen to me. I forgot - this is post-Syria America now:

Nobody has to care about any of that anymore,...

 

Old Saying: If You Can't Reproduce It - It's Not Science

Scientists, publicly coming to terms with their biases, are not a pretty picture. Is it just me, or does anyone else despise how long they've made us wait, for what we knew - and told them - already?

"Climate models [...] do not reproduce the observed global warming,..."

I've always wanted to scream "Out with it, Man!" like an English General or something. Which should've been done years ago. And would have, if we had leaders, and not just cheerleaders and gullible hanger's-on.

So - is anybody going to arrest Al Gore yet, or do I have to wait another decade for that as well?

According to science, it should be what's next....

Muse Ick (Outside And Away)

 

 I'm exhausted. 

Almost 3 days straight of getting up around 4AM, and staying at the mixing board until 11 or 12 at night, just to happily get up and do it again. 

 

If my body can keep up, it's my version of Heaven.

My brain basically shorted out yesterday, leaving me to wake up (in bed somehow) not knowing who I was, where I was, what day it was - anything. 

Still, I'm a traumatized man who hasn't felt this content - this normal - in years. 

Like any specialized animal, I was made to do this. 

   

 Drop me an email at The Macho Response (at) Gmail and I'll start sending you free music, as it's being created. 

I tore myself away today. Got out of the house, took a long walk on purpose.

Looking at the newspapers, there's still not much going on, so the media's still playing charades, hoping someone will make a guess that, somehow, will finally make-something-happen where they didn't notice anything before. 

Drudge, like everybody else, is making shit up, changing his focus daily, fishing for something - anything - that'll have legs.

   

I won't wait, thanks.

I understand all-too-well how it works now. 

How - even in this world of miracle cures, cults and quacks - nobody's got anything, nobody sees anything, and nobody's gonna do anything, so they'll make shit up in the meantime, because you know it's coming,...global warming. 

Plus, if they report on that other stuff, a lot of their friends will go to jail, so furthermore, cancer's out there, Hillary's the best qualified, gay guys are all sweetness and light, and blah, blah, blah.

There's a fungus among us.

I learned that last line in the foster homes, heard usually as a greeting. 

Not to be technical or anything, but that's really how it works, honest.

Instead, raid the library's documentary section and catch 51 Birch Street, a fine little (somewhat disturbing) film about marriage and family, that had a lot of parallels to my own story, settling something within me. 

I'm never quite sure if true acceptance of what's happened is possible for me anymore, so that's quite the feat.

Waaay better than getting riled up over stupid conspiracy theories.

 

 Or leaving the house even, now that I think about it,...
