We’re betting that this news won’t dent greens’ self-confidence. They will still insist that unless they are put in charge of the entire world economy we face disaster. The sad truth is that the more power they get, the more damage they do.
They don’t care about poor people. They don’t care about people at all, except themselves.
It is not the government’s decision how we should defend ourselves from criminals. There is no more fundamental human right than the right to self defense.
These are all interesting stories, but articles like this contribute to public confusion about what is science and what is not. Curiosity landing on Mars was a great technological achievement, but it wasn’t science, though it may (in fact will, and already has) produce some. Even less science are the Dragon flights to the ISS — again, this is about engineering, not science. And ending invasive research on chimps is a moral breakthrough, perhaps, but it’s not science. In some sense, in fact, it’s anti-science, if one removes ethics from the definition of science.
There’s an interesting new book out on the possibilities for advanced space propulsion. It’s a little pricey, but royalties will be used to allow Professor Woodward to continue his research, managed by the Space Studies Institute. It’s a long shot, with a potentially huge payoff.
It turns out that fracking is perfectly safe, and the New York state government tried to hide the evidence:
Greens are quick to defend their climate change position with scientific evidence and have positioned themselves as a movement wedded to science. But it is becoming increasingly apparent that evidence is a flag of convenience for a movement that is rooted in emotion and passion far more than it likes to admit.
Because it doesn’t like to admit it at all, even though it’s mostly that.
We knew (at least those of us not idiots) that it was criminally insane from an economic standpoint, but it also turns out that it was an environmental disaster.
Don’t expect any thoughtful or logical answers. To the degree that these people are actually sincere in their motivations, and not just power mongers, they operate on pure emotion. They say they want to have a “conversation,” but they don’t. They just want to lecture us, and disarm us.
