Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Reason Why We Should ‘Listen To Us About Climate Change’ Sends Heads To Desks

I will not stand here and tell you I don’t “believe” in climate change. The climate has “changed” throughout the history of time. We’ve had ice ages, we’ve had periods when everything was covered in lava. Climate changes.

I ALSO will not tell you I don’t think humans have a negative impact on our environment. All you have to do is look out into the ocean in many parts of Asia to see literal islands of garbage. This is BAD folks. We must protect our Earth. We have ONE home.

What I do take issue with is balancing the effect we have on global temperatures vs. the hit on the global economy we’re willing to take for it. Should we increase world poverty, and decrease everyone’s quality of life, over a .1 degree change? If that’s the right thing to do…why does Al Gore still fly around on private jets? Why does he live in a mega mansion?

It’s not that I don’t “believe” in any sort of climate change. It’s that alarmists have been alarming for decades now… and I think they’re more committed to their apocalyptic narrative than they are finding practical solutions to man-made pollution.

I’m ALL for respecting and stewarding the Earth. I’m also against climate alarmism. They’ve told us we’re all going to die in 5 years for decades now. It’s only turning people off to caring about the environment at all.

Anyway, Neil deGrasse Tyson, who I personally find to be one of the most insufferable know-it-alls of all time, explained why we MUST listen to “scientists.”

Scientists & engineers launched “InSight” from Earth (a moving platform) across 300million miles to arrive where Mars (a moving target) will be seven months later, landing safely to do geophysics at the Martian equator.

…wut?

It doesn’t take a scientist to realize this is DUMB, Neil.

“Scientists and engineers are infallible” is a pretty unscientific argument pic.twitter.com/1j62jq2mKf

By Tyson’s measure I could find some NASA fails and use them to disprove scientists’ climate change doom-and-gloom predictions.

Apollo 1 comes to mind

But the real crime in his nonsense is the logic fail. I don’t understand why people worship this goof. He should end every tweet with “wocka wockaaa”

SERIOUSLY.

I have an incredibly hard time understanding why people act like he’s some kind of genius. He’s not.

Anyone who actually cares about science and climate change should be telling their side to stop making these moronic “science is fungible” arguments. https://t.co/uWFVJRFgG7

Besides…

As you’ve proven in your post “climate change” has been politicized, landing a craft on Mars has not. Once an idea has been politicized much about it becomes sensational rather than factual.
