Friday marked 53RdEarth Day celebration. Now, I’m a big fan of the Earth and of protecting, preserving, and conserving it provided that we’re employing rational methods in doing so.
Unfortunately, like so much these days, environmental “science,” rather than being “settled,” has become politicized – not to mention downright silly. Do you doubt me? In honor of Earth Day, Brad Slager (RedState) has put together a compendium. It’s titled: “For Earth Day We Study the Environmental Promises – From Fewer Witches to Deaf Fish to Mom Turning to Prostitution,” and catalogs in great detail the numerous contradictions to be found in the dire predictions of climate alarmists. Whether it be warnings of more shark attacks or fewer, the Earth turning faster or slower, more plentiful truffles or a shortage, what’s become readily apparent is that the science is anything BUT settled.
Brad sums it up thusly: “If everything can be blamed on global warming then it doesn’t matter, since those items cancel themselves out. Despite all the appearances, there is one thing everyone agrees on: Anything does happen with global-climate-warming-change it is assuredly disastrous.”
