Yesterday, I wrote that the IPCC should be shut down and that the core conspirators should be hunted down and prosecuted. That commentary did not go far enough. To avoid break-down of the modern world, the IPCC must be condemned and steps taken to assure that similar activities are not started in the future.
The IPCC agenda supports large-scale theft of public funding, a path to international economic chaos, and a plan for a New World Order devoid of freedom and effective democracy. These are issues often discussed and without a doubt pose a global threat. Another highly destructive element, dealing with the means to the ends, is political control of the scientific process. This is (obviously) the area of activity in which the IPCC is most directly involved.
The modern world is an artifact of progress in science and technology: in transportation, entertainment, communication, energy, food from production through preparation, water treatment, industrial production, business and government processes, policing and defense to name a few key areas. Even the top political problem of the day, health care reform, is brought to you by the opportunity to live much longer and healthier lives due to modern science and technology. It’s greatest problem is that cutting edge medicine and treatments are often expensive.
Progress in science and technology is gained through scientific and engineering processes. Causing large-scale damage to these processes will have a long term effect that is similar to bombing a country back to the stone-age. New investments are needed to bring the country back to its former state and the time lost in which further progress could have been pursued is lost forever. New solutions and improved cost-effectiveness are at least delayed. If the disruption continues, the ability to maintain the infrastructure suffers and economic suffering or even collapse will follow. Those countries that defend these processes progress and overtake those that don’t.
We need look no further than the current administration in the US to illustrate blind destructive behavior in dealing with science and technology; so obvious as to be apparent in all parts of the development chain. The Obama administration doles out large amounts of public funding for investment in IPCC related activities and development of non-competitive pseudo-â€Âgreen†technologies, passes large amounts of “greenâ€Â-green (money) to political friends, and helps big donors compete with more expensive, lower quality products than those already on offer.
The engineering process is suffering directly. What is progress that will translate into next year’s new products when next year’s political manipulation of the market is arbitrarily controlled and currently unknown? What will be allowed and promoted in five years? What can be done, and what can be understood, if progress on its own merits no longer matters? Nothing. The rational response to such great uncertainty is lower private investment. Public funding increases its role along with greater political definition and control of “progress.†Private companies must wait and follow arbitrarily defined political directions and vie for political favors rather than pushing competitively for real progress.
In case you haven’t heard, this deep economic recession has hit the engineering community fairly hard. There are other factors involved to be sure, but let me maintain the focus. With the government so heavily involved in market manipulation through arbitrary control of science and technology, long term planning is no longer possible, or at least far less effective. Among the layoffs from private companies are engineers and scientists who were engaged in envisioning and realizing the future. As mature engineering organizations are dismantled, the ability of industry to maintain an efficient flow of innovation suffers. Industry becomes reactive rather than progressive; competitively weaker.
The IPCC demonstrates how far the politicization of science has gone. It did not suddenly pop into existence out of nowhere. The many “scientists†who routinely perform government “studies†that give whatever results politicians desire are the true bottom-feeders in the whole process, and they have been around for a good while. Their academic credentials are used to provide a superficial impression that a credible, objective analysis has been performed. But their activity is not the application of objective science. They are lobbyists being paid illegally from public funds who intentionally present false information in support of political scams. They are pervasive in the political process and are likely to be found wherever a committee has been seated to support a policy initiative.
It was in such an environment that Al Gore, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton (to name a few) all received their on-the-job training in the real-world political process. It partially explains the vast disconnect between the Political Class and The People. No political initiative is impossible. If “truth†can be manipulated to give the impression that you’re right, then truth and whether you’re actually right doesn’t matter. Public opinion should never be a problem so long as much of the press core loyally repeats the propaganda created with the help of bottom-feeding pseudo-scientific lobbyists.
The IPCC however represents the largest and most dangerous exercise in politically controlled science since Nazi evolutionary “science†was used to justify ethnic cleansing and Communist control of agricultural “science†caused mass starvation. It ties together the corruption of science from bottom to top in the pseudo-science food chain and ties into goals of controlling and corrupting the private sector; and it does so on a global scale.
As I have said before, it is time for “responsible adults†to step in and put a stop to these activities. To not do so assures our peril. The IPCC must be condemned in the strongest possible terms and steps taken to assure that similar activities are not started in the future. Moreover, the general message must be delivered that we do not accept being lied to through the politicization of science.
