James Inhofe, God, Leeches and Climate Change

March 12, 2012 By mario piperni

Worried about climate change and its devastating effects on our planet? Don’t be. God’s got it covered. And you don’t need to believe me. Believe instead Senator James Inhofe.

Well actually the Genesis 8:22 that I use in there is that “as long as the earth remains there will be springtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night.” My point is, God’s still up there. The arrogance of people to think that we, human beings, would be able to change what He is doing in the climate is to me outrageous.

Senator James Inhofe’s solution to dealing with climate change is to sit on your ass and rely on a book written at a time when the earth was thought to be flat and much of medicine involved curing illness by way of spells and incantations. By the way, whatever happened to bloodletting? Did science go and kill off that most respectable method of fending off disease? Damn scientists.

So Inhofe goes off and writes a book he titles The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future but leaves out the fact that oil and gas industries have contributed over $1.3 million to his political campaigns. He also finds it outrageous and arrogant that anyone could possibly believe that humans have any effect over God’s climate but thinks it completely plausible that you accept that tens of thousands of scientists the world over have conspired to engineer this enormous hoax. As a ThinkProgress reader put it…

It’s so much easier to believe that the world’s atmospheric scientists are faking millions of bits of data in thousands of scientific papers in dozens of different scientific fields–and different languages–and cross-matching them so that they all tell a story that is 180 degree opposed from reality, and making sure no one spills the beans.

Well…yes, that is exactly what Inhofe and other climate change deniers want you to believe. After all, why shouldn’t rational people believe the brilliant minds on the right over the world’s top scientists, you know, those pinheads in white lab coats and elitist university degrees hanging on their office walls.

That great scientific mind, Bill O’Reilly, once summed up in eight simple words how scientific thought works in Wingnuttia. It goes like this, “Sun up, sun down. Tide in, tide out.”

Now let’s get back to the serious work of leeches and bloodletting.

Try arguing with this logic. It’s a great analogy.

Yes, You Can Be Both Rich and Ignorant

February 16, 2010 By mario piperni

I knew there was a reason I disliked Donald Trump.

“With the coldest winter ever recorded, with snow setting record levels up and down the coast, the Nobel committee should take the Nobel Prize back from Al Gore,” the tycoon told members of his Trump National Golf Club in Westchester in a recent speech. “Gore wants us to clean up our factories and plants in order to protect us from global warming, when China and other countries couldn’t care less. It would make us totally noncompetitive in the manufacturing world, and China, Japan and India are laughing at America’s stupidity.”

Of course the buffoon is showing his ignorance on global warming but when you have a billion bucks in the bank, buffoonery is acceptable business. (hey, 7 words beginning with the letter ‘b’ in that last sentence. Beats my previous record of 5. You know you’re going to have go back and verify, don’t you?)

Ratigan vs. Beck = Logic vs. Stupidity

February 12, 2010 By mario piperni

This battle between Dylan Ratigan and Glenn Beck over climate change is a no-contest affair.

Beck comes off as a dimwitted fool showing absolutely no knowledge of science nor any willingness to understand. Of course this suits his audience of twits perfectly. Understanding takes effort. Stupidity takes absolutely none. It is much easier to approach science (and life, for that matter) from the perspective that what can be explained to you in twelve words or less is right and what cannot is wrong. Why take the time and effort to learn when you can have a Glenn Beck explain climate change science to you as easily as drawing a thermometer on a chalkboard. After all, is there anything more convincing than Beck rolling his eyes and giving you that, ‘come on people, this is so basic it has to be right’ look he has mastered?

Bill Nye makes an excellent point when he says that many (if not most) climate change deniers believe what they do not because of any true understanding of the underlying science but because the people who are concerned about global warming are left of center. In a wingnut’s minuscule brain, if Al Gore, Barack Obama and most liberals believe that global warming is endangering the planet, then it must be wrong.

I’m running out of adjectives to describe the sheer idiocy of these people so let me just say it in words I know they’ll understand. Hey, deniers…you are all so f***ing stupid, it’s frightening.
