As I continue to study and research for The Sixth Extinction I keep getting nasty comments from the sheep that say “Educate yourself” or “This is all natural, you are a shill”. I swear to god that I spend more time dealing with these idiots than I do working.
Not one of them has cracked a book and rely on Alex Jones or Lord Monckton to tell them that everything is ok, this isn’t their fault, go back to polluting.
It is with that in mind that I present to you the greatest conspiracy since the Franklin Coverup.
CLIMATE CHANGE: FACT OR FICTION
I recently used the term “climate change deniers” in one of my articles. Almost immediately the email and Twitter messages started rolling in.
It was only 3 or 4 individuals but they all sent multiple messages screaming how I was uninformed, unintelligent or a down-right shill.
When I confronted them with my evidence and said “where is yours?” I was greeted with links to strange blogs, Infowhores and interviews with the illustrious Lord Monckton.
In fact, not one of them offered anything of real substance. Most of you regulars will know by now that I’m open to saying “I’m wrong” but I expect that the evidence be overwhelming.
Unfortunately, in this case I have found no evidence that I am wrong. In fact, the more research I do, the more I realize I’ve underestimated how bad the situation really is.
REAL RESEARCH
Simply believing what a taking head told you, can not be considered proof.
This is what 90% of the so-called “alternative” media does. Instead of going to the library and getting the actual book, paper or video, they rely on this second hand information.
I can’t really blame them I guess, it’s a hell of a lot of work to read both sides of a scientific argument and try to decipher what it really means. It is much simpler to do a quick Google search and cherry pick the articles that support your viewpoint.
Until you study both sides of an argument you can not consider yourself “informed” about a subject. Don’t worry, I got caught up in that too over the years. I considered myself informed because I had heard someone rattle off facts on some radio show or documentary. Now, I look at hard facts and I’m willing to say “I don’t know”.
REVELATIONS
When I first began researching climate change I became convinced that it was a natural cycle and that it was ignorant to think humans could have that big of an effect on the environment.
I’d say things like “Volcanoes produce more CO2 in one eruption than mankind has throughout history!” or “All the planets in the solar system heating, so this can’t be man-made”.
