I have a chapter on climate change in my new book Is Everything a Scam?
Whatever problems we face, I believe cooperation and consensus and persuasion are the path to finding solutions. If authoritarians make the decisions, what we get is – ideas so good they have to be forced at gunpoint.
For me one of the red flags for nonsense is vague and shifting and divisive names or phrases. When I was kid it was CFCs (spray cans were going put a hole in the ozone and fry us), and acid rain. Global warming, global cooling, overpopulation, depopulation, etc. Why not keep it simple: clean air, clean water, and clean soil? Is anyone against these?
The other tip off is rules for thee not for me, or do as we say not as we do. As in billionaires and climate czars fly in private jets while demanding regular people cut their vehicle emissions. Here in California they have banned the sale of gas generators, gas leaf blowers, gas stoves (being challenged in the courts), to a large degree wood fireplaces, and the list seems to keep growing. I have a lot of experience with electric RC batteries, they are expensive and unreliable, and I certainly would not want electric to be my only option in an emergency. Gas is nasty and toxic and it seems so is electricity as well as the mining for both.
How can we get to the truth and agree on a path forward if one side is promoted, while opposing views are censored and the speakers smeared and attacked?
Joe Rogan had 2 opposing climate scientists on back to back:
- The first was Steven E. Koonin episode #1776.
- The second was Andrew Dessler episode #1777.
Koonin seemed to agree to coming back for a face to face debate while Dessler seemed to be against the idea. This seems to be a recurring theme, covid critics are rarely given equal airtime and debates are rare or non-existent (Update: Koonin and Dessler had 2 discussions/debates. First one is about what the impact of fossil fuels is. The second is more about the economic costs, their presentations start around 17 minutes in, also they polled the audience before and after and people’s opinions changed).
Koonin’s book is: Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters. His book was criticized in Scientific American. Koonin responded here, also Reason responded as well.
Denis Rancourt has a webpage of his research on climate science. Also a bitchute channel: videos of climate interviews and lectures are at the bottom of this list.
Denis Rancourt and Tony Heller video discussion on Climate Science:
Tony Heller is a geologist who has a YouTube channel and a website discussing climate science:
Here is a video debate between Tony Heller and Gerald Kutney:
In the allopathic medical system they often advocate for doing something immediately, or early detection/screening/testing and then treatment, even if there are no symptoms. Chronic disease and death are increasing while at the same time drugs, surgeries and medical spending are also increasing. “Doing something” is making the problem worse.
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity.
How many of these “emergencies” are we going to put up with before we tell the authorities to eff off and reclaim our power? They are supposed to be serving us, not the other way around.
What to do? Question every claim. Turn off mainstream media and authorities until they become transparent and give equal time to their critics. Reach out to people in your area. Go outside, be in nature. Listen to your inner authority and intuition.
For me the best way to save and preserve the climate is to create a local economy with local food and materials. Is there any indigenous tribe in the world that has ever destroyed their ecology? I started building with bamboo I could get locally. I am learning how to build my surf racks and foils with wood and other renewable non-toxic materials. In my clothing shop I limit the products to organic shirts, hoodies, and hats. I am experimenting with growing mycelium surfboards and using tree sap for resin.
Global is a myth, local is all there is. Even if some global entity enacts or dictates some policy, it’s the local people who do the action. Local people, you and me, have the power. We each decide what to do or not do, here and now.
