Because this time a glacier that broke off from Greenland could sink a ship! Since that\u2019s never happened before, or well it has happened, but that just proves global warming,<\/a> we need to panic. I don\u2019t mind the science behind climate change. I have no doubt that the technology and industry humanity immersed itself in over the last couple hundred years hasn\u2019t been good for the environment. That\u2019s, of course, why I tend to be hesitant about turning the keys over to science to solve all of our problems. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
But the not-too-subtle subtext of this story, that this is yet another reason to fear MMGW<\/span>, when the story has to stop to refer to that other famous example from almost a hundred years ago, is the problem that seems to permeate all modern discussion of the phenomenon. When I see more predictions come true, and hear some scientists admit there could be things that disprove MMGW<\/span> but here\u2019s why they aren\u2019t happening \u2013 as opposed to saying whatever happens in the climate world proves MMGW<\/span> \u2013 then I\u2019ll be more inclined to listen. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Also it wouldn\u2019t hurt if MMGW<\/span> didn\u2019t sound the \u2018we\u2019re going to die\u2019 mantra that dominates modern science, mixed with the teaching that humanity, being nothing more than a festering malignant blight on mother earth, might need to be exterminated from existence for the greater good. <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
