Real Climate Science

I took the Totos for a walk west of Fort Collins this morning.

Fossil fuels made it possible for me to hike in the Sonoran Desert yesterday morning, and cycle in Colorado climate crisis yesterday afternoon.

This bird is very angry about it.

People who know how to think logically would recognize that very different conditions at equal levels of CO2, would indicate that CO2 is not the cause of those conditions – and is in fact unrelated. But superstitious people link together unrelated phenomena (like rabbit’s foot/good luck) and no amount of contrary evidence can sway them.

Five hundred years ago, bad weather was blamed on witches. Equally stupid and ignorant people now blame it on CO2.
