I worked for Koch for decades. In the mid-90s we decided to evaluate the merits of trading weather derivatives, i.e., writing swap risk trades for trading partners interested in reducing risk exposure to temperature, precipitation and other weather anomalies. We assigned quants to accumulate wx data and price risk and, oh by the way, we did a very, very thorough job of researching the history of every prominent weather station location in the US and Europe. Turned out that weather stations aren't located according to a standard format. They're moved and the evening TV wx reporter doesn't mention that. And the circumstances around a wx station change too, i.e., a two-lane road becomes a four-lane highway, factories are built around the area, the station is moved to another airport location, and so on, all of which affect the amount of heat around a station. But, no one ever calibrates the historical wx data to account for these environmental changes around the station itself. They just accept the government agency's data. Except Koch. Knowing those historical anomalies gave us a decided, predictable advantage, particularly against those who relied on the bald data to overestimate their risk to temperature, precipitation and other wx events. Moral of the story? Do your homework before placing your bets. Trading wx derivatives to the crowd buying into global warming made us a lot of money in the 90s. Climate change will (hopefully) be exposed as one of the greatest con jobs and government grabs in history, but only if people ask questions. Science, after all, is really about asking more questions, not simply accepting what's fed to you.
They should be incredibly interested in having an unvaccinated control group. Instead they did everything the could to destroy it. Fortunately we survived the winter of death.
"The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite."
The problem is the propaganda on "Climate Change" has been a near total success. If I were to go to your typical Republican state convention and interview 100 random people and ask them if the climate has warmed any since 1998, I would venture to bet that 98 would answer in the affirmative. Even though it has not.
Imagine the brain wash on the Left!!! To try and counter with facts and evidence is futile.
Further, all this is based on models, not actual records. And you know what else is absolutely idiotic? There is one input that is NEVER included in their "models". The effects of the sun and solar activity. Even though solar activity accounts for around 98% of changes in climate here on earth.
I am not sure how we get out of this box. They want power and that is all that matters. And not enough folks on the right understand this.
Right up there with being called a "racist" is being accused of "denying science". In the world we have created, being "educated" and having credentials is everything.
"can anyone tell me with a straight face that if we were determined to count election votes in real time with something approaching zero fraud or ineligible vote casting that we could not do so?"
Only if you are voting for the next American Idol or Dancing with the Stars.. then real time voting by text message is possible with duplicates automatically excluded.
It's almost like they've all been given a big stack of Mad Libs books and, you know...
I read something interesting (to me anyway) the other day, about the brief period, in the scheme of things, that allowed Viking settlements in Greenland to develop a network of farms where they raised livestock quite successfully for awhile. And then bit by bit there was climate cooling and eventually starvation set in and they all eventually had to leave. The warming was the wonderful part...
So the question is, what can we do to counter this cancer of corruption? We can't vote a lot of these people out of office, as many of these people are not elected. They are embedded and endemic in our government. How do we remove the cancer?
There's no question that these dishonest tactics are going to be more widely adopted. In the short term, they'll enable the cathedral to hang on to their prestige and influence a bit longer. The network militia will simply pick apart the data, though - fake data can always be detected. In the long term, the cathedral only burns its credibility that much more thoroughly. Ultimately, it will be necessary to start crowdsourcing data collection, as well, which is a much bigger task than crowdsourcing analysis; however, as the network scales up, its capabilities will expand.
Oh sure. Cuz I wasn’t pissed enough about the Covid bull$hit and was already sure climate science was more$hit you gotta go pile it higher AND deeper. Good job. MeeeOW.
Covid and climate fraud. Two sides of the same coin.
Forget fossil fuels, the modern world runs on pure 💯% bullshit.
Covid and climate are religions with scriptures, not science with data https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-follow-the-science?s=r

Everything government touches is corrupted.
We should have listened to Ike:

Michael Crichton was vilified for his novel "State of Fear" which dealt with this very issue of climate change.

I contributed to surfacestations when it came out. The site we documented had an AC unit within 30ft....
I grant that the US has bad data, but no developed country has worse data on covid or climate than Canada.
We’ve got hockey statistics covered pretty well, though.
