The above is a *MUST-READ* blog post - and read the study, too.
Alarmists are constantly fighting against the excesses of their own desire for prognostications.
Doomsday predictions pass, not just without event, but to the OPPOSITE of what they predicted: people being better off, not killed in catastrophes.
Consequently, alarmists have to shriek ever more loudly about "denial", even though it is manifestly THEM that has departed from science: their own failed predictions prove it.
Yet they claim that 'deniers' are "anti science".
It's mind-boggling, when you think about it.
To deny a prediction is to 'deny science'.
The prediction proves to be a failure...
But no apology, no change of mind, no reflection on the failure is forthcoming... neither from the activists nor the scientists.
Just more invective against 'deniers'.
Institutional science has been captured by ideology.
That's the simple fact of the matter.
And it has all been amplified by billionaires and their billshit.
Of the two smear websites that have published 'profiles' of me, one was founded by a convicted money-launderer & online gambling racketeer, and the other is an anti-Semite at the centre of an academic scandal caused by him using his academic status to further his witch-hunting.
Here's an article on the second, David Miller who set up the Powerbase/Spin Profiles projects, funded by the likes of the Goldsmith family and supported by George Monbiot and Caroline Lucas. capx.co/david-millers-…
I can only wonder what the other leaders at the UNSC really made of an ancient British man they'd never heard of (he is a voice over artist, and they speak other languages), lecturing them on Gaia's imminent wrath, they having only just seen their populations emerge from poverty.
I'm talking about him, again, of course, who the UK government wheeled out in an attempt to align the global security agenda with the green agenda.
Why?
Imagine it... You're the leader of a country with a population getting close to 1.4 billion people... You've actually witnessed western Malthusians running amok in your country for decades, to no good effect... And now for the first time, your working population has a chance...
This is such complete and extraordinary bullshit, it even has its own creation myth: a "secure and safe climatic foundation" that "gave birth to our civilisations".
The UK government is insane, dysfunctional, and captured by some weirdo element.
"Participants who are prone to dogmatism – stuck in their ways and relatively resistant to credible evidence – actually have a problem with processing evidence even at a perceptual level, the authors found."
They were just trolling the Guardian.
'“For example, when they’re asked to determine whether dots [as part of a neuropsychological task] are moving to the left or to the right, they just took longer to process that information and come to a decision,” Zmigrod said.'
