Proof that the Wacky Belong Together

You know who I am talking about. The people that are convinced that aliens have visited/are visiting/will take over. Those that claim that that aliens built the pyramids of Egypt, that spaceships have crashed all over the place and scattered ray guns and anti-gravity equipment all over the country-side and *still* somehow the secret world-government has managed to hide all of that stuff.

Next on the list are those that claim that the rising temperatures on the planet are a direct result of people using cars and electric light bulbs. We have Al Gore, for example, running around screaming about our energy usage when he lights his own home in Nashville to the point that it can be seen from the International Space Station at night. The fact that there is no scientific reasoning behind this claim does not seem to bother these guys. The fact that there is no scientific reasoning behind those that believe that ‘Bigfoot’ is running around all over the North American continent does not bother those guys either. There are no scientific proofs behind sightings of a living Elvis, the Loch Ness Monster, Leprechauns or intelligent politicians, but let one of these people get a couple of drinks in them and corner you and they will swear that they just shook hands with JFK at the local supermarket.

There are international banking conspiracies, the Illuminati, Jewish conspiracies, CIA conspiracies, secret Catholic Orders that hide Templar secrets, hidden governments, and, of course, the descendents of Atlantis that are actually in control of everything. There simply seems to be no end to it.

Now, there is proof that all of these things are converging. Paul Hellyer, a former Canadian Defense Minister, is claiming that the only way to stop global warming is for the governments of the world to reveal what they know about alien technology, and that those technologies will save our planet.

Sheesh.

I am glad, in a way, that the Wackos are getting better organized and are starting to link their paranoid fantasies together, as it will certainly get easier to identify them. I do not believe that they will be quiet when the adults are speaking, but at least their babble will be more entertaining:

“Climate change is the No. 1 problem facing the world today," he said. "I'm not discouraging anyone from being green conscious, but I would like to see what (alien) technology there might be that could eliminate the burning of fossil fuels within a generation ... that could be a way to save our planet.”

Well, yea, I guess so. I would like to see what could happen if I suddenly have the ability to shoot monkeys out of my ass. What these technologies might actually entail or if sniffing more glue will provide that information he does not mention. He does not need to mention it. What we all know is that beliefs are articles of faith and that they do not require scientific proof.  Radical Muslims demand that you believe what they believe because they believe it. Radical Christians and others have the same idea. These Global Warming wackos are no different, and they will use terrible and abusive language if you dare to question their credo, or simply choose not to believe them.

Allow me to elaborate.

We know from science that 65 million years ago there were no ice caps. There were dinosaurs living on the Antarctica continent. We know this because their remains have been dug up. We know that as recently as 20,000 years ago the ice caps covered a great deal of the land that we are now living upon. Again, there is scientific proof of that. What we do not know is what caused there to be no ice caps 65 million years ago, and likewise, we do not know what caused the ice-ages.  Again, (in crayon, for those out there that cannot reason), WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSES CLIMATE CHANGES. We do know that 65 million years ago that there were no people, no cars, no electric bulbs, no coal plants, no Al Gore, no “carbon offsets,” and that 20,000 years ago our ancestors were still scratching their asses in caves wishing that they had light bulbs, cars and coal plants.

In classes, years ago, we were taught that there is a flaw in using logic to prove causality. If B follows A in a temporal sense, it does not necessarily mean that mean that A caused B. That required something called a ‘scientific proof.’ Remember Geography class? You could not simply write down a proof, you had to actually show all the steps that led up to the proof. All of science is built upon that type of reasoning. The same reasoning should apply with Global Warming. If we note that temperatures are rising (a fact), then we should first determine what causes temperatures to rise. At this point, we do not know. Mars has been undergoing increased temperatures during this same period. Coincidence? Perhaps, but you can bet your ass it is not because of SUV’s, “carbon footprints” or coal burning power plants. It just *may* have to do with science that is based on the Sun and planetary physics.

What we are faced with here is a group of loonies that are looking for political power based upon a set of beliefs. Not science, but, rather, beliefs. They have the same credibility as the DaVinci conspiracy guys, the Bigfoot believers and those that think we are already under the control of invaders from outer space. This Canadian idiot is just simply closing the gap for us, and we can at least thank him for saving us the time it takes to link them all together.
