The funny thing is, scientists are not authority figures the left has made them out to be, with both covid and climate change. Science is based in questioning everything.
It's this religion of science, and it's based on incredibly flimsy footing: at least 50% of published medical science is wrong.
It's really sad to see people give up freedoms so easily. I can only imagine there are elderly churchgoers who were furious when the churches were closed. And they were right. They should have the choice to risk their lives to go to church if they felt like it. We all should.
My only hope is that there is a silent majority who, once a line is crossed, will stand up and fight. Who will say "this is ridiculous, and wrong, enough is enough."
The lockdown religion has actually turned me into a climate change skeptic for the first time in my life. Because I figured "if the scientists are clearly full of shit with their flawed epidemiological modelling and their total inability to estimate and quanitfy the human costs of lockdowns and if the scientists failed to predict the weather correctly today, what else are they wrong about? Maybe climate change is a fucking scam too!" Maybe the climate change modelling is also wrong.
If the elites were scared of climate change, they would stop shipping junk all around the world in giant tankers. They would stop shipping Florida tomatoes here at the same time we send tomatoes there. We would see a lot more "eat local, buy local" support.
Instead, we get another tax.
I actually have relevant degrees to dig into the climate modelling, but it's pretty complicated and I'm doing other things. In general, I don't trust climate modelling at all, and am not worried about climate change.
