How and Why the False Climate Consensus is Manufactured

“Aynsley” isn’t even a climate scientist but rather teaches politics in Tanzania

Flat Earthers crack anyone up with the way they run with a paper or opinion piece from some obscure individual and present it as if it is a game changer, all part of a weak obvious attempt to create a false paradigm, guarantee if one could trace back the actual vehicle, cleverly named “Climate Change” so as to avoid a Google check, they’d find it was a Koch funded or Oil industry front

Aynsley has far more qualifications than Al Gordo and the Doom Goblin, Arsecheese.

Expert reviewer for the United Nation’s WGII IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. His books include Transforming Power and International Toxic Risk Management (both Cambridge), and Science and Public Policy: The Virtuous Corruption of Virtual Environmental Science and Negotiating Climate Change (both Edward Elgar).

Our Present Dark Age, Part 1

.

It will take years to go through all of the examples, but before examining the specifics, it’s helpful to see the big picture. Here’s my best explanation for why we ended up in a dark age, summarized into six points:
1. Intellectuals have greatly underestimated the complexity of the world.

2. Specialization has made people stupid.

3. The lack of conceptual clarity in mathematics and physics has caused a lack of conceptual clarity everywhere else. These disciplines underwent foundational crises in the early 20th century that were not resolved correctly.

4. The methods of scientific inquiry have been conflated with the processes of academia.

5. Academia has been corrupted by government and corporate funding.

6. Human biology, psychology, and social dynamics make critical thinking difficult.

Speculation and Conclusion

In addition to the previous six points, I have a few other suspicions that I’m less confident of, but am currently researching:

1. Physical health might have declined over the 20th century due to reduced food quality, forgotten nutritional knowledge, and increased pesticides and pollutants in the environment. Industrialization created huge quantities of food at the expense of quality. Perhaps our dark age is partially caused by an overall reduction in brain function.

2. New communications technology, starting with the radio, might have helped proliferate bad ideas, amplified their negative impact, and increased the social cost of disagreement with the orthodoxy. If true, this would be another unintended consequence of modernization.

3. Conspiracy/geopolitics might be a significant factor. Occasionally, malice does look like a better explanation than stupidity.

In conclusion, the legacy of the 20th century is not an impressive one, and I do not currently have evidence that it was an era of great minds or even good ideas. But don’t take my word for it; the evidence will be supplied here over the coming years. If we are indeed in a dark age, then the first step towards leaving it is recognizing that we’ve been in one.
