Is Climate Change or Climate Science the Real Threat?

Well, the science of climate change is very much a science involving a lot of interpretation. Many of the conclusions presented as facts to the public are nothing more than the results of computer models—and models are only as good as the data they receive and how that data is interpreted! And it’s humans—fallible humans who don’t know everything and are biased—who decide which data points to include and how to weight those data points. The result is models that are very worldview dependent. And that’s why the predictions—the so-called facts—are wrong over and over again.

And bear in mind that scientists who disagree with the perceived threat that climate change represents or who give alternative interpretations will likely not receive funding, be published in mainstream journals, or have their scientific careers advanced. There’s a lot of gatekeeping that goes into ensuring the climate hysteria narrative is the only narrative that anyone hears (just as one example, an editor of one journal was fired for publishing an article skeptical of man-made climate change—in a special issue all about various views on the climate!).

What the public, the government, activists, and watchdog groups hear as “scientific fact” or “consensus” matters because those views shape policy—and that policy impacts people.

Climate science isn’t just some theoretical idea with little impact on our day-to-day lives either. What the public, the government, activists, and watchdog groups hear as “scientific fact” or “consensus” matters because those views shape policy—and that policy impacts people.

Consider how the myth of overpopulation and the belief that humans are destroying this planet’s climate and future have resulted in the spread of abortifacient birth control and abortions in developing countries to try to halt population growth.

Or that lack of access to efficient and cheap energy negatively impacts the poorest among us.

Or that fear-mongering causes anxiety and depression in the younger generations, making them believe they have no future—so much so that many are choosing not to have children because the future is so “bleak”!

Yes, climate “science” has real implications that impact real people, and that’s why we care about this issue. You can learn more in this episode of Answers News, our weekly show posted to our YouTube channel every Friday, featuring special guest and wildlife ecologist Jessica DeFord:
