UN claims to 'climate truth' impossible : Comments

By Tom Harris, published 16/9/2021

So why do more philosophers not speak out about these problems, errors that are diverting the public from properly considering the various arguments presented?

The word 'truth' is 700 years old. Definition? Truth corresponds with facts or reality.

Attaining truth requires an equation: truth = the facts/reality.

700 years down the track, there is not a lot of truth.

Any argument can be assembled using statistics to prove the truth of it.

Such argument is what is termed a “ half truth”.

Half truth is actually more insidious than the actual truth or an outright lie, that can have immediate consequences.

Politicians such as the land developers mole from Macquarie St, our Gladys, is slithering away from the glare of truth right now: and coincidentally, the dog of truth doing the dirty work in that task, is the Independent (haw, haw, haw) Commission against Crime and Corruption.

That toothless old dog is also an invention from the self defensive arsenal of Parliament, where rules are formulated to keep the truth from getting out, and written in such a half truth manner ensuring the consequences of lies are minimised.

Ain’t that the truth!

Here we go again. One cannot apply an absolute certainty to almost anything except your birth mother, taxes and dying. Everything else has this or that qualification! Just as the name of your biological father on the birth certificate, it requires the truth be told by your birth mother. The author argues we cannot say that climate change is based on an absolute truth! As far as I am aware, no such claim has been made!

Whereas climate change denialists, have little if any science behind their highly dubious claims. Claims which attribute climate change or a warming cyclical phase, ignore vital facts! One of which is that all the warming evidence just does not occur during a normal cooling cycle, i.e., a waning phase! And we have been in a waning phase since the mid-seventies! (NASA)

None of the highly spurious claims or pseudo-science will change that fact! Nor do we need to tank the economy by decarbing it, just the opposite and an economy on steriods and turbocharged, if we but use the brains we were born with and stop ruling our best options out! Just because they don't comply with an idiotic idealogy that clings to coal like a drowning man will cling to a straw!

As long as this 18tth century power supply paradigm is the only one on the table, courtesy of the fools on the hill!

Nothing, including the climate and a debt-laden economy, will improve! To encapsulate, stupid is as stupid does, or, It's the economy stupid!

If you have enough math to follow the equations, you can see it is impossible for CO2 to do anything like what the warmist claim it does.

There are a lot of educated people, who unlike Peter Ridd, are lying to keep their jobs.

Hasbeen,
Unlike you, most people are sufficiently intelligent to tell the differenced between mathematics and erroneous assumptions!

(sorry for the typo. Of course I meant ...tell the difference between mathematics and erroneous assumptions!)
