    I am intimately familiar with the scientific method, I’m a (retired) biologist by education and work experience. I’m also very familiar with the concept of the scientific theory as opposed to a theory in general. Of course there are things we accept as truths about the physical world, it’s obvious from our scientific and technological progress. These things stand until overturned by the unending challenges brought by proper execution of the scientific method. In my own field, Abbe’s law of diffraction, the 100+ year gorilla in the room governing ultimate resolution in light microscopy, was broken and a new law written by Stefan Hell, which won him a Nobel Prize in the process. Most people underestimate how much pride scientists take in upsetting the Apple cart.

    Anyway, I digress. The slightest attention to the political folly of our day clearly indicates the climate change agenda is a left vs. right issue. The bureaucracy (aka the swamp according to the right) has been firmly entrenched in the left’s agenda for decades. Government agencies are, for the most part, in the hip pocket of liberal ideologues. I spent a number of years working at the NIH. There are many brilliant people there who nevertheless believe all kinds of horseshit. Crystal power? Seriously. Different religious beliefs, all of which I happen to think are unfounded. Like I have said many times, people will believe all kinds of things. This is the never ending issue of knowing the difference between knowledge and belief.

    As John Brunner posted above ( http://seniorsonly.club/threads/a-short-revisit-to-the-climate-change-hoax.21026/page-7#post-695573 ) there has been an unending string of doomsday predictions, by an unending supply of various experts that just have not happened. Correlation does not mean causations.

    On August 12, 1936, it was 120 degrees in Texas.

    First of all, Texas is a very big place so you won't find that "Texas just hit 118 degrees." The entire state has never been a single temperature so that's a ridiculous statement. I'm in Houston and it is 98°F on my back patio. You might be interested to learn that the all-time high temperature recorded in Texas was 120°F, in August 1936. How's that for your broad, generalized odds?

    "Texas is no stranger to extreme temperatures. Stacker compiled a list of each state's most extreme temperatures. The website states, "Stacker consulted 2019 data from the NOAA's State Climate Extremes Committee (SCEC) to create this slideshow illustrating the hottest and coldest temperatures ever recorded in each state."

    According to Stacker, the all-time highest temperature in Texas was 120 degrees Fahrenheit. That temperature was recorded in Seymour on August 12, 1936."

    Now I see they are blaming pumping ground water is causing the Earth's abnormalities. Probably growing food...or just the number of people will be next. I suppose if we eliminated all the billionaires and politicians, as well as most of the academics, things would right themselves.

    Keep in mind that the elite, who are pushing this crap, do not intend to sacrifice anything. They will gain from our losses.

    I forgot to mention the backstory to the above pizza emissions link. NYC politicians are about to impose emissions limits on coal and wood-fired pizza ovens.

    A Princeton University physicist said that switching to electricity will likely increase emissions, not reduce them.
