Re-writing The Science


After watching the 60 minutes video Re-writing the Science including interviews with James Hanson I was left furious with what the government is doing. To censor out material that has evidentiary support by not just one scientist is like saying to a medically ill patient that you have the treatment to cure them but you are not going to give it to them because you find them annoying. Scientists are diagnosing the earth and the government is refusing to cure it. Is the government keeping this information away from the public in fear of a national panic or better yet a global panic? Are they afraid that we as citizens will become unruly and rebel against them? If they do not recognize the problem any time soon (meaning roughly in the next ten years or so) we will come to a runaway warming and then there will be nothing left for us to do but sit and wait for the climate to warm up to the point that humans can no longer withstand it and die off. The government will be kicking themselves at this point wishing that there was such a thing as time travel or space stations circulating in the earth’s orbit for us to live in. Censoring a scientist’s findings is a disgrace. What scientific backgrounds do lawyers and other politicians have that makes them the overall correct information and saying that everyone is wrong. Scientists have devoted their lives to this, finding a way to put a stop to global climate change and if all their studies and experiments are recorded correctly, ethically, and thoroughly they do not need a babysitter to tell them what they cannot release to the public. The government is supposed to have the citizen’s best interest and if they hide this kind of material from us what are we supposed to do but to think that they are no longer fit to care for us. Information like this being withheld from us is only going to make things worse in the future.
