Montana Judge Kathy Seeley issues brain-damaged fact-free ruling

Big Swede commented the other day that, amazingly, a nonsense lawsuit filed by some kids in Montana had received a favorable ruling from a judge. Here is the link he supplied. The ruling is simply outrageous, but also chilling. Was there a fix at work? Was it understood in advance that the judge, Kathy Seeley, would allow the bullshit claims to proceed?

Emily Flower, spokeswoman for Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, correctly slammed the ruling as absurd in an emailed statement and vowed to appeal.

This ruling is absurd, but not surprising from a judge who let the plaintiffs’ attorneys put on a weeklong taxpayer-funded publicity stunt.

Worst science in 125,000 years!

The news media and public officials have been off their rocker lately talking about our “boiling” planet. It is all hyperbole, completely unscientific, and really just a propaganda exercise. But they mean business as follows: Climate lock downs are in store. They saw it done with Covid and thought “We can do that too!” (Actually, “they” and “we” are the same people.)

It is discouraging to see how utterly controlled the news media is, and public officials like Biden as well. Has it always been like this? (Yes.)

Maybe fossil fuels are our lifeboat

“Most glaciers in the NH [Northern Hemisphere] have only formed in the last 4,000 years. While these new glaciers are often used as evidence of global warming, that these new glaciers have formed in the past few thousand years is actually evidence that the Earth and Northern Hemisphere specifically are cooler now than they were in the past few thousand years.” (John Kehr, The Inconvenient Skeptic: The Comprehensive Guide to the Earth’s Climate, page 116.)

Mr. Kehr seemingly wrote this book (2011) and then walked off the face of the earth. He’s not on YouTube, makes no public appearances, doesn’t Google well. Maybe (guessing) he opted not to engage the propaganda and madness that is the Climate Change movement. Maybe he did not want to endure personal attacks from people less knowledgeable than him. Maybe he just doesn’t suffer fools well.

Held v Montana

At the end of this post where you see in bold “Youth Plaintiffs… ” is a brief synopsis of a lawsuit against the State of Montana alleging the following:

…greenhouse gas emissions [are] “already triggering a host of adverse consequences in Montana, including dangerously increasing temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, increasing droughts and extreme weather events, increasing the frequency and severity of wildfires, increasing glacial melt***, and causing numerous adverse health risks, especially to children …

If it were me, and be thankful it wasn’t, I would simply have put the burden of proof on Our Children’s Trust, the group behind this lawsuit and many others, all tossed out of court. All of the adverse consequences are nonexistent. Even melting glaciers***, while ongoing, has been going on since 1860 or so, the end of the Little Ice Age. If courts of law are a means of discovering truth, which I think only sometimes possible, then this case would be a no-brainer.

The Streisand Effect

 

Prior to discussing the Streisand Effect, I am reminded of radio talk show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger, heard on weekdays on SiriusXM channel 111. She is currently 75 years old and going strong. Back before the proliferation of Sirius channels she was usually heard on AM radio. The program was very popular. Even as I was a liberal at the time, and her advice very conservative, I liked her and had very little trouble with her advice, which was stern, sensible and straightforward.

A shocking graphic presentation of our Climate Emergency

If you are sharp of eyesight, you will note a slight uptick in planet temperature from 1880 to 2020. There is a word for this change from 57 degrees to 59 degrees over that 140 year period: Imperceptible. The human body cannot distinguish such slight temperature anomalies.

Union of Concerned Scientists: Caught in a big fat lie

Once again, I am limited for display purposes here by the inability of this iPad to allow me to increase the size of the above image. On a PC it is easily done. Nonetheless, what is being sold here should be obvious, and can be viewed with greater ease by going to the original article. This graph is linked behind that article. CNN Published Blatantly false Claim About Wildfires – There’s No Link to Fossil Fuels At All.

Lysenko, Mann, Gore … peas in a pod

Trofim Lysenko 1898-1976) was a Russian scientist. Don’t be confused. Wikipedia calls him a “pseudo” scientist but in our day and age most science is pseudo, and yet we call our virologists, climatologists, geologists, physicists, and oncologists “scientists” nonetheless. So, I think it OK to refer to Trofim as a scientist as well.

Lysenko as responsible for the deaths of millions upon millions of Russian and Chinese peasants. He came up with new agricultural practices that were to revolutionize food production in both countries,  but instead set farming back decades.

Wikipedia and the art of lying

As a child growing up, I often did stupid things and looked for ways out of my messes. I contrived exotic lies, even thought about injuring myself to gain sympathy. I never did the self-abuse angle, but more importantly, I was never a good liar. As an adult, I learned that truth is always the best thing, as lying leads to more lying and even bigger messes.

Wikipedia lies about just about everything, but is considered a trusted source. I often consult it, as there are many matters where there is no point in lying, as with Taylor Swift’s birthday (12/13/89) or the dates of Woodstock (August 15-18, 1969). But note that there is far more to Taylor Swift, whom I suspect was trained her whole life to be famous and does not (or know how to) write her own music, or with Woodstock, an event organized to inculcate a whole generation in the culture of rock music and drugs, painting opposition to the Vietnam War as drug-addled hippies. Wikipedia can only tell us so much, and then either goes silent, or lies.
