David Foss: Don’t accept the big lie of climate change as truth
“The sky is falling, Chicken Little declared; the sky is falling,” of course an absurd declaration.
Two decades ago progressives pushed “global warming” and climatologists came forward with facts that proved otherwise. “Global warming” morphed into “Climate change.” I respectfully suggest the Editorial board Google “Vostok ice core expedition.” Climatologists without an agenda, political or otherwise, took core samples from varying depths. Their conclusion, based on empirical data, was that the Earth was warmer (on more than one occasion) before man started burning fossil fuels. (Oops.) An inconvenient truth that fits nowhere into your conclusions!
Hitler had a propaganda minister named Goebbels whose main job was to vilify the Jews until they were hated by the German people. A quote attributed to him: “If you tell a big lie often enough, it becomes the truth.”
