Grain of Salt

Anyone who is not skeptical about "settled science" is, let's be frank, a motley fool ... a court jester ... a country bumpkin. My hackles get turgid every time I hear politicians use this term ... and when "scientists" use it, I want to slit my wrists, or rather figuratively  theirs.

There has been no scientific finding that has not been later modified or even reversed, Salt (sodium) causes high blood pressure ... NOT ... see:  Salt Is Good For You. Eating fat causes heart attacks ... NOT ... see:  Fat Is Good For You. CO2 causes global warming. I know that this "settled science" canard cannot be an absolute truth because the Ice Age melted without the help of this vital gas. Yes, carbon dioxide is introduced into greenhouses to stimulate plant growth and it can increase the temperature slightly. But the Earth is not an enclosed greenhouse and likely dozens of things are raising and lowering the temperature on our planet besides CO2. And Weird Al Gore now wants 15 trillion dollars to save our planet! What poppycock!

Yes, I have to be consistent and say that science may eventually tilt back to showing the "alarmists" might be right ... but somehow I doubt it without stronger evidence than now is being put forward by these greedy charlatans ... whose computer models don't work and who fudge their data. We likely will never know for absolute certainty what causes our climate to change ... and, if we ever do, I doubt if we might be able to fix things (let's make the sun less hot) ... particularly since, if this "science" proved to be wrong, we might be committing Earthly suicide.

So relax boys and girls ... take every "scientific" pronouncement with a grain of salt ... and don't fool with Mother Nature without a lot more evidence than is now being offered by this settled science.
