It is institutional--tyrannous--only, at the moment, but it is war nevertheless, and requires fighting that war, even if it means real, physical war, or even just a wider intellectual war than at present. There is no wide understanding that it is a war, and so there is no common front, among "skeptics" and "deniers" (I am one of the latter) opposing the decreed climate science and the political agenda now arrayed to "implement" that abomination of science. I know only one way to respond to tyranny: Refuse to obey any law it proclaims. No, I know a second, more likely action as well: Have nothing to do with it, give it no respect, kick it whenever it approaches you (as a bully, or a mean dog, as it ever does approach you, its enemy).<br /><br />And know that the "lukewarmers" among the skeptics are being just as suppressive, of the "deniers" who provide definitive evidence that there is NO greenhouse effect, no correct physics at all, underpinning the consensus climate science. Until the skeptical side comes to grips with that--with the general incompetence behind it, which is the same thing behind the failed climate science in the first place--there can be no effective resolution of the conflicts among these various groups, and no saving the world from the insanity of "saving the world from global warming, er, climate change".<br /><br />Harry Dale Huffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210275295826050501noreply@blogger.com
