Is Climate Change 'Science'?

“Trust science, not the scientists.” That is the essence of science. What matters most is what we do not know. The surprise factor between what we expected and what actually happens in real-world experiments is where discovery lives. Thought experiments are not science. (Imagining things can lead to proposed hypotheses, which must still be tested.) Many argue desperately for speculation as being science, when science was designed to avoid speculation. So we have to run actual empirical experiments. To determine whether carbon dioxide (CO2) causes the Earth to be warmer would require experiments “with all other things being equal.”

We must mourn the death of leadership in America.
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy cautiously but brilliantly managed the United States — nay, the world — through the Cuban Missile Crisis on the brink of a nuclear World War III. Watching Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, I felt compelled to watch again the movie Thirteen Days bringing these moments to life. Every American should re-watch.
If your writer may offer my over-simplified distillation, it is this: JFK and his brain trust rejected the choice between Option A, surrender to a missile platform in Cuba and Option B, provoking a nuclear war.
A newly-revealed video records the Proud Boys’ activities on January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol, and appears to show leaders meandering aimlessly, showing the lack of any clear plan.
Zachary Rehl’s legal filing in court Wednesday claims that the video proves that Jan. 6 protesters had no plan to attack the U.S. Capitol and no advance plan to enter the Capitol building. They are being accused of a conspiracy, but the video reportedly shows a different story.

Did leftists learn nothing from the adventures of Wile E. Coyote forever trying to catch the Roadrunner but always failing? New York prosecutors under District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. have convened a grand jury to investigate The Trump Organization (“TTO”) owned by former President Trump and his family.
There is nothing to stop an indictment of Trump, other than remembering what happened to the Duke Lacrosse player prosecutor. But the deep state’s attempt to arrest and indict Trump will fail.
It is starting to look as if the endless adrenaline high is the real point.

The year 2022 is shaping up to be a good year for the electoral prospects of the loyal opposition. Two years after losing the presidency — and then watching helplessly as Donald Trump’s petulance poisoned the Republican effort to win in Georgia and keep control of the Senate — the GOP is suddenly poised for a comeback in Congress. Inflation and rising gas prices, frustration with liberal political leaders who clung to COVID-19 restrictions well past their expiration date, and concerns about how the administration is handling the twin threats of Russia and China (to say nothing
Democrats have got nothing to run on for re-election. And that’s eating at the politicians who’ve been casting about for a catchy slogan that would fit on a bumper sticker and sweep the country.
Originally, the Biden people thought that “Build Back Better” would carry them to victory. But it’s become apparent that BBB is the punchline to a joke and wouldn’t be useful.
Some Democrats hit upon the brilliant slogan “Democrats Deliver!” but the White House polled the tagline and found it came in near the bottom of other suggestions.
Given what Democrats have “accomplished” so far, Republicans could easily make a mockery of that slogan. “Deliver what?” they might counter.
Former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr said he did not believe Donald Trump would win a 2022 presidential election bid because he's petty and divisive, and that his former boss is not his pick for commander-in-chief. Barr, 71, criticized the former president during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on Friday, admitting that he knew Trump was going to lose in 2020 because of his temper. 'He's not my idea of a president,' Barr said. 'I felt he was going to lose the election because he was not controlling himself.

An attack on the U.S. would bring out the patriotism of many Americans, according to a Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday, but a surprising number of our fellow citizens would also cut and run.
Here's the Washington Times story about it:
An attack on the U.S. homeland would bring out the fight in most Americans. according to a new poll, but a surprisingly large percentage say they'd flee.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday asked Americans what they would do "if they were in the same position as Ukrainians are now: stay and fight or leave the country?"
Vladimir Putin is suffering from a brain disorder caused by dementia, Parkinson’s disease or ‘roid rage’ resulting from steroid treatment for cancer, intelligence sources have claimed.Citing sources close to the Kremlin, senior figures in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance – comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States – believe there is a physiological explanation for the Russian president’s globally reviled decision to invade Ukraine.The intelligence community is sharing a growing number of reports about 69-year-old Putin’s ‘increasingly erratic behaviour’, combined with a bloated appearance in recent footage – and the absurd distance he insists on keeping from visitors to the Kremlin.
A new poll could spell big trouble for New York: Nearly four of every 10 voters here are thinking of fleeing. Their No. 1 reason: high taxes. The survey, released this month by Zogby, found that 38.9% of voters are “considering” or already have “made plans” to head out, up five points from a month earlier.(Snip)Most notably, a stunning 36.7% say their top reason for wanting out is that taxes are “too high,” a gripe more people cited than any other. Even a quarter of “progressives,” 32% of “liberals” and 38% of “moderates” cite high taxes as their strongest motivation to leave. Never mind the druggies and crazies,
The Atlantic appears to be demonstrating that it has its priorities in order… the question being is it the proper order? An essay in the liberal publication that Fox News host Tucker Carlson previously described as a shameless corporate mouthpiece and a place for the ruling class to talk to itself warns that a nuclear war prompted by the Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine could be really bad for the environment.To his credit, the author points out that a so-called no-fly zone over Ukraine (which many neocons and neolibs seem to be advocating) could be ruinous in that it could lead to a exchange of nuclear warheads
Republican Rep. Tom Rice blasted Donald Trump as a 'would-be tyrant' in a searing statement after the former president campaigned for the lawmaker's primary opponent in a rally on Saturday night. Trump is trying to unseat Rice, who he called a 'total fool' for voting with nine other Republican legislators in favor of impeachment after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. Saturday night's rally took place in Florence, part of Rice's 7th Congressional District. He's held the seat for nearly a decade since 2013.
I won’t lie: I’m a Tucker Carlson fan. He is willing to speak honestly about topics others ignore, sugarcoat, or lie about. Even when I don’t agree with him, I find him worthwhile, and never more so than his Friday night monologue about Biden’s latest, terrifying power grab and how our government is destroying the American economy. It was a tour de force and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Tucker opened with something I’d meant to write about and now don’t need to: Without a single pause, the Biden administration slipped effortlessly from COVID emergency powers
A suspect believed to be connected to the group of spring breakers who overdosed on cocaine laced with fentanyl was arrested in Florida, police confirmed to WSVN Friday night. Police in Wilton Manors, a city located in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro area, did not release the suspect's name or indicate their connection to the six West Point cadets who were hospitalized Thursday after overdosing on the drug. At least two of the students were football players at the military academy, located in New York. A seventh individual, only identified as a woman, was later taken to the hospital and treated, the Sun-Sentinel reported.
Former President Barack Obama announced Sunday afternoon: 'I just tested positive for COVID', but said Michelle is still clear of coronavirus. 'I've had a scratchy throat for a couple days, but am feeling fine otherwise,' the former president tweeted in describing his symptoms. 'Michelle and I are grateful to be vaccinated and boosted, and she has tested negative. It's a reminder to get vaccinated if you haven't already, even as cases go down,' Obama tweeted. He did not mention whether either of his daughters Malia, 23, and Sasha, 20 were tested for the virus, but both are currently in college and likely away at school.
In the latest instance of companies downsizing their products amid record inflation in the US, Potato chip giant Frito-Lay revealed Thursday that is has cut down the number of chips in its bags of Doritos.'Inflation is hitting everyone,' a company rep told Quartz Thursday of its decision to trim the size of its 9.75 ounce bag of the cheesy snack to 9.25 ounces - a reduction of five chips, the spokesperson said.The price of the product, meanwhile, usually around $4.29, has remained the same.'We took just a little bit out of the bag so we can give you the same price and you can keep enjoying your chips,'

Activists have abandoned science and the Scientific Method in order to cling to desired narratives. But they have had to sacrifice science to get there. They have sacrificed science on the altar of their personal preferences and opinions.
