Stunningly bad science
If it can even be called science. From Rand Simberg at
PJ Media:
This Is What Pseudoscience Looks Like
Well, with the twin weather disasters of the wild conflagrations in the west and the unusual �derecho� storm (derecho and El Nino � the storms that will do the jobs that American storms won�t) that left millions powerless and sweltering in the east, it didn�t take long for the propaganda mill of the warming religion to spool up. I first noticed it in a tweet from the so-called �science� guy, Bill Nye:CNN about fires in Colorado. I was just there. It�s the real (bad) deal. Just the start of things climate change-wise.
The next day, he followed up:MSNBC with Ed Schultz. We�re talking fires, heat, and climate change. Let�s see if we can convey the seriousness & convince a few citizens.
I posted this
on July 5th:
Please re-read that for one moment � yes, over 3,000 records broken. Of which 2,253 is for high temperatures and 936 for low temperatures. That is 70.65% of the records were high and 29.35% were for low. It's summer folks and we are setting records for low temperatures.
The reason this years wildfires are so serious is because the enviros prohibited smaller fires from happening. There was a much higher than normal accumulation of underbrush and
areas that historically had 80 trees/acre now have over 1,000 trees/acre. The fire load increased so much that once a spark happened, a conflagration was inevitable.
The National Park Service learned this in 1988 when
Yellowstone National Park burned but I guess that the various governmental agencies do not talk with each other.Pity...
I used to live in Seattle and Bill Nye came into my
local tavern every so often -- I wanted to introduce myself as in the 1960's my Dad was often one of the Judges for a television show in Pittsburgh (School Science Countdown) very similar to what Nye was doing at the time. He blew me off and was a complete arrogant prick about it.
