The Decline of Thinking
- Text size
The political establishment’s response to the global warming doubts raised by EPA researcher, Alan Carlin, is remarkable. The mantra chanted by one EPA official – and dutifully echoed across the media – is that Mr. Carlin “is not a scientist.” This fact, of course, has not kept Al Gore from becoming the patron saint of the environmental religion. (Gore received his PhD in which of the recognized sciences?)
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
When my “In Restraint of Trade” book was first published twelve years ago, an academic reviewer from a respected history department spent most of his time acquainting his readers with the fact that I taught in a law school and not a history department. The review ended up being little more than a strident defense of turf, and a condemnation of my efforts to focus attention on matters unfamiliar to historians.
I enjoy watching Jonathan Hoenig every Saturday morning on Fox News’ “Cashin’ In” program on investment analysis. He is a consistent advocate of free-markets, individual liberty, and private property. He recently stated that humans “must think in order to survive,” but that we have recently been “outsourcing” this function to others. Such a practice now prevails on university campuses, and helps to explain why academia is a source of so little original and meaningful thinking. Don’t wonder about what anything means: the “experts” whose jobs are dependent upon advancing the agendas of the political establishment will explain it all to you!

http://911essentials.com points out the facts to Mr. Nobel Prize:
Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) is a theory (hypothesis). It is an unproven theory. What you do with theories is put them to the test with scientific observations. Let’s see what data points we now have:
1) Average annual temperatures have not surpassed 1998 (NOAA)
(University of Alabama)
2) Average annual temperatures are now trending downward since 1998
(NOAA) (University of Alabama)
3) Ocean temperatures have not risen since 2000 when the 3000 Argo buoys
were launched. The buoys even show a slight decrease in ocean temperatures
4) The Arctic ice froze to February levels by December 07, there are 1mm
more sq km than before (previous was 13mm sq km)
5) The Arctic ice is 20cm thicker than “normal” (whatever that is)
6) All polar bear pods are stable or growing (NOAA/PBS)
7) Mount Kilimanjaro is not melting because of global warming, rather
The Antarctic is not “melting”, it is growing in most places, the
“sublimation”
sloughing off at the edges is normal as the ice mass grows
9) The majority of the Antarctic is 8 degrees below “normal” (again,
whatever that is)
10) The coveted .7 degree rise in temperatures over the last 100 years
has been wiped out with last years below “normal” temperatures (NOAA
coolest winter since 2001)
11) Al Gore’s film was just deemed “propaganda” in a court of law in the
UK as many points could not be substantiated by scientists
12) It was also just reveled that some of the footage in Als film was
CGI. The ice shelf collapse was from the movie The Day After Tomorrow (ABC)
13) One of the scientists that originally thought that CO2 preceded the
warming has now found with new data that the CO2 rise follows the
warming (Dr David Evans)
14) August 2008 was the first time since 1913 there were no sun spots.
15) The Medieval Warm Period was warmer than the 20th century (no SUVs)
16) Many scientists are now predicting 30 years of cooling.
17) The greenhouse effect is real, our small contribution to it cannot
even be measured
18) Several publications, including those that are warmist have recently
written that the natural cycles of the earth may mask AGW. Give me a break.

Your statement proves how dumb you really are. Stop drinking the koolaid and take the blue pill.

We are heading towards international fascism and we will suffer as long as people like you exist. Here are my beliefs:
1. 9/11 was an inside job
2. The Republicrats control the false left-right paradigm
3. The president serves the military industrial complex
4. Fluoride is dangerous to the health of the population
5. Hitler idolized Abraham Lincoln and even copied how he indiscriminately killed women and children in the South.
6. We financed the likes of Hitler, Mao, Stalin, and even Ahmadinejad.

Here’s a thought. Take yourself of the grid becoming self-sustainable and not only will you no longer be at the will of these people you “name” full stop, but the discussed issue will also be irrelevant. Take away the bullet and the gun is useless, so to speak!
I certainly don’t have faith in a system where the rheutoric is, “Such and such a business cannot fail.” And taxpayers money is used to prop the business up. The economy should be like the internet which was created by the Military so communications could never be brought down. Otherwise it’s open to collapse whether purposely caused by people wanting absolute power or just COMPLETE INCOMPETENCE.

BREAKING NEWS: The Gwers are spamming huge lists by e-mail and twitter about how to counter arguments from GW skeptics. This is desperation. As several have noted above, all publicity is better than no publicity. They should know better. What happens in PR is that only a fairly small % of your flock are even aware of GW skepticism. They just like the color green as it’s trendy, love house plants and re-use their shopping bags.
As soon as you start informing them of THE EXISTENCE of skeptics and a propaganda list of counter arguments you awaken a human instinct called curiosity. “What’s this all about, let’s discuss this” Etc.
One of the basic failures of amateur propagandists is their lack of judgment about when to shut up. (Check out Alex Jones’ pauses…..). Propagandist on a pulpit level have some control en-masse but can’t stop the consequence of grass roots debate. Just drawing attention to a counter argument that will inevitably penetrate the entire coalition of the carbon cult fantasy.
By the way. I’ve been an eviromentalist my whole life. The argument for man-made C02 is very plausible until you start to consider some scientifically proven hard facts. I believed it for more than 20 years. I wanted to. I love the natural world.
It seems that humanity (or at least the leaders), has an ego problem. They have a tendency to overestimate their impact of their input and activities. All human activity is a single digit percentage of Co2 global production period. It’s not causative to either reduce or increase output of manmade (fossil fuel burning) because overall the actual contribution isn’t significant. There’s no evidence that Co2 actually drives climate change in any significant way even if you consider that 95% of global Co2 production is natural, it’s simply not causative.

shame on all you CIA, NSA, FBI agents that are compiling info on all of us. You are a greater threat to liberty and freedom than a million of your CIA trained “Bin Ladens”. If you truly love your country, if you truly want to protect your country, then look into the mirror and ask yourself, “who is my master”? Who is calling the shots? Who is ordering you to trample the fundamental rights of the very citizens you swore to protect? How far are you willing to go in the name of “safety”? Is it okay to detain citizens with no representation? Is it okay to disarm a populace so they are unable to defend themselves? Why did you get involved in law enforcement in the first place? Was it to defend the LIBERTY of your fellow citizen? Was it because you like to wear a badge? Carry a gun? Is it because you want to be on the “winning side”?. What kind of country are you building for YOUR children, for MY children. Will it be a nation built on fear? A nation where if you say the wrong thing, or peacefully protest against government action you are labled a “terrorist”? Is this the world you want your children to live in? Do you want them to live in a world where we are controlled by fear and by corporate interests? Where we are simply sheep, our only purpose to fill the coffers of international bankers, weapons contractors, and out-dated energy cartels? Shame on all of you who took an oath to defend this country from foreign and DOMESTIC threats that are facilitating the very demise of our once-great Nation. Does the fact that our current Federal government is operating completely outside the law not bother you? Have you ever really read the constitution? How brainwashed are you? Are you so caught up in your law-enforcement sub-culture to realize that you are now treating the very people that you swore to protect as your enemy? Reach inside yourself and shake your soul. You have the power to stand up and make a change. You have the power to say ” I cannot follow this order, I will not follow this directive as it is simply unconstitutional. Or, will you sell your soul for your pension? Will you continue to violate our God-Given RIGHTS of privacy, Liberty, Freedom, and Happiness? Do you not understand that when you operate outside the constitution you are operating as a lawless thug? Do you not understand that when you compromise the constitution in the name of ” safety” that you are buying into a lie? I pray that you will listen to these words. They are the words of a fellow citizen. They are the words of a man that has worked since he was 16 to build a life for himself and his family. They are the words of a man who believes in the power of the constitution and power that it grants its populace. If you really want to protect your country, the real terrorists are not in a sandbox 5,000 miles away. The real terrorists are sitting in Congress. They are sitting in the white house, they own the Federal Reserve, and they are even sitting in your office. They are the people who are taking the constitution and setting it on fire. They are the ones who follow their own agenda’s under the guise of freedom. It is all very simple. Follow the constitution. It is no more complicated than that. If you are asked to perform a task, and that task is not constitutional than you must refuse that order. If you do not, then you have sold your soul and you are in fact commiting treason.

You all sound like a bunch of insane idiots. One joke was enough but you all pile on with every single phallic reference possible.
Global Warming is not a hoax. The science about Global Warming has not changed for decades but predictions have changed. Scientific ideas have a tendency to change but I am not surprised that most people I meet that do not believe in Global Warming/Climate Change are also skeptical about evolution. The 4th largest C02 emitter in the US is a volcano but 3 OTHER man made factories/power plants surpass the emissions of a climate changing volcano. We have the power to transforms the environment on a global scale. Our C02 emissions are creating a change in the climate. The question is what will happen in 50 years? I honestly do not know but I sure as hell know that the Cap and Trade scheme is meant to profit off of a crisis not solve the crisis. I do not believe it is impossible to accept Global Warming but fight against any and all elitist solutions that simply exacerbate the problem.
And again I am not a CIA operative trying to kill Alex Jones. I simply disagree with him and most of you on this front.

Q. How did Americans go from being widely recognized as the SMARTEST people in the world (1930s-40s)… to the DUMBEST people in the world today?
Its not all just Flouride, and the 2-party DUmbOPOLY, folks.
Its should be well-known to anyone who studied social Psychology that OBSERVATON/surveillance *increases* performance on simple/repetitive tasks; but *decreases* performance on anything new or creative. The phenomenon is true for any creatures on this planet, down to the insects; regardless of sociality. The original research- almost half a century ago- was conducted on cockroaches.

All right… I told Kurt Nimmo to do this, I am going to say this to you. Please all authors of Infowars and Prison Planet news articles cite your sources. People will have a stronger opinion than “ Gore has two PhDs. One in dooshbaggery and one in asshattery.” I believe if you post the sources that are genuine and legitimate, people will post more intellectual responses than just hurtful epipthets and entirely irrevelant discussion commentary. If you want academia respect, cite your sources and show the legitimacy. Evidence is the best proof to change people’s hearts and minds about current issues. This news article is complete junk and please re-write it with good sources. If you are really hurting for a story, please just admit you got nothing for the week and not write junk.
Junk is Junk. It is not enlightening or mentally engaging like Infowars.com typically is. Please do better on your next article.
