We need a monument dedicated to the memory of people like Gunter, Ehrlich, Carson, etc. so that people are reminded of how science can be perverted.
There have been liars and despots since the beginning of human history and none of them ever learned their lesson from the previous generation of liars and despots…………………these present day idiots will follow the same path…total DISCREDITATION!!!
Climate Change is fear mongering to find new ways to tax people. If the future could be predicted with any certainty by computer models, surely someone could do the same with the stock market.
