The Washington Times Editorial Board published \u2018Declaring independence from hoaxes\u2019 \u2013 \u2018Let\u2019s put the climate change fantasy to rest\u2019 \u2013 \u2018What\u2019s being sold as science isn\u2019t science at all\u2019.<\/strong> Excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two hundred forty-eight years ago, America declared independence<\/strong> from the idea we needed to be governed by a king<\/strong>. Our Founding Fathers realized a freethinking people are perfectly capable of governing themselves.<\/strong> It was a revolutionary concept in every sense of the word.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, <\/strong>tyranny no longer emanates from the decrees of a faraway monarch suffering from a dash of mental illness. It has become a mental tyranny emanating from academics and politicians<\/strong> who employ doomsday tales to replace freethinking<\/strong> with blind acceptance of yarns that advance their agenda.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Mankind\u2019s use of\u00a0modern conveniences<\/strong>\u00a0has, they insist,\u00a0warmed the planet to an uncomfortable degree.<\/strong>\u00a0Unless we do something to reverse this deadly trend, we will be subjected to extreme storms, rising seas and plagues on an apocalyptic scale. Scary stuff indeed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We are told this is the conclusion of science, and one cannot
disagree with \u201cthe science.\u201d But perhaps we should.<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, The Heritage Foundation released a report comparing the predictions of 36 climate models against<\/strong> the actual temperature patterns recorded in the U.S. Corn Belt<\/strong> between the 1970s and the present.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"
The plot shows the 50-year area-averaged\u00a0temperature trend<\/strong>\u00a0during 1973-2022 for the 12-state corn belt as\u00a0observed<\/strong>\u00a0with the official NOAA homogenized surface temperature product (blue bar<\/strong>) versus the\u00a0same metric from 36 CMIP6 climate models<\/strong>\u00a0(red bars,<\/strong>\u00a0SSP245 emissions scenario, output here).<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Accurate models would be able to match real-life measurements.<\/strong> As the great Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman explained in 1964: \u201cIf [a theory] disagrees with experiment, it\u2019s wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 36 climate predictions disagreed with reality<\/strong> \u2014 that is, each forecast temperatures much higher than what Midwesterners actually experienced.<\/strong> The \u201cwarming\u201d never lived up to expectations, which means the climate models are something other than science.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet President Biden<\/strong> on Tuesday said you\u2019re \u201creally dumb\u201d if you deny the climate crisis the models predict.<\/strong> He demands you return him<\/strong> to the White House so he can heap more climate regulations<\/strong> on the businesses he disfavors.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It\u2019s not likely that another layer of red tape will do anything to alter global weather patterns, because the\u00a0sun, not mankind, is the primary driver of climate<\/strong>. Whenever humans try to overcome the sun\u2019s influence, the results inevitably fail to live up to expectations.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For instance, a study published in Nature in May found changes in the formulation of fuel used in cargo vessels<\/strong> four years ago \u201cabruptly reduced the emission of sulfur dioxide<\/strong> from international shipping by about 80% and created an inadvertent geoengineering termination shock with global impact.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a fancy way of saying cleaner skies allowed more sunshine to reach the ocean, warming the seas<\/strong> dramatically. It\u2019s a puzzler for devotees<\/strong> of the climate change narrative to explain how pollution can combat global warming, so they just ignore it as they do all inconvenient truths.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If climate change were rooted in honest belief, liberals would rally around nuclear energy<\/strong>\u00a0as the cleanest and most efficient means of supplying any nation\u2019s electricity needs. According to the Energy Department, when counting manufacturing emissions,\u00a0rooftop solar panels create 40 grams of carbon dioxide for every kilowatt-hour of electricity generated.<\/strong>\u00a0Nuclear power plants generate one-third that much.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Freethinkers ought to question the animosity toward carbon dioxide, the substance that nourishes plants and makes for bountiful harvests.<\/strong> We ought to liberate our minds from the influence of mountebanks who enrich themselves through the telling of climate fairy tales.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s being sold as science isn\u2019t science at all.<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
