How Stupid do They Think We Are???

Are we, as perspective wards of the government, perceived to be so dim witted that a mere change in words used to describe something will cause us to look less skeptical about information coming from our government and accept their lullaby to us so we will go back to sleep?


They want us to to shut up, sit down, quit questioning the authority and motives of your government; sleep, sleep, sleep, send us your money and we will take care of you…

I don’t frikkin think so…

White House science adviser John Holdren stated on 16 Sept that the ‘preferred term’ is now Global Climate Distruption…

From the administration that brought you “man-caused disaster” for terror attacks and “overseas contingency operation” for the war on terror, another terminology change is in the pipeline.

The White House wants the public to start using the term “global climate disruption” in place of “global warming” — fearing the latter term oversimplifies the problem and makes it sound less dangerous than it really is.

White House science adviser John Holdren urged people to start using the phrase during a speech last week in Oslo, echoing a plea he made three years earlier. Holdren said global warming is a “dangerous misnomer” for a problem far more complicated than a rise in temperature.

Consider this from a 2008 speech, and his failure to admit there is a problem with the data (among other things the now infamous “hockey stick” and glacial melting)…

John Holdren: US public opinion is near a tipping point on climate change despite deniers’ strategy (February 24, 2008)

In a February 18 interview at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Harvard Prof. John Holdren, outgoing AAAS board chairman, said “I really think we’re close to a political tipping point in the United States on the climate change issue…I think deniers of the reality of the climate change problem have been more effective in the United States than they have been in Europe…Climate change deniers, or skeptics as they’re sometimes called, have received attention in this country out of all proportion to their numbers, their qualifications, or the quality of their arguments. And it has slowed down the whole discussion in the United States….It was basically a deliberate strategy—how some of the deniers continued to focus attention on some of the scientific uncertainties, to prevent the discussion from moving forward to what we could actually do about this problem, what the solutions are likely to be….I think the deniers are finally losing the battle and the discussion is now moving to solutions.”

Do we really want to take anything this administration says at face value? Especially now??? go do your own research and form your OWN opinions… Please…

  1. More Doublespeak from the Ministry of Truth!
    They *know* some “citizens” must be pretty stoopid as Da One got elected!

  2. Peedee said it best. Can’t add a thing to it.

    I do think I’ll go take another handful of aspirin though. My head hitting the desk seems to cause more pain these days.

  3. Still waiting for that Nuclear Winter,even though hundreds of Above Ground Nuclear Tests over several decades still hasn’t brought it about. Must have been stopped by Global Warming, huh?

    And if there is Global Warming, which would you rather see, Palm Trees in Cleveland on the new resort site of Shark Free, Jelly Fish Free, Fresh Water Lake Erie, or another 3 mile thick Ice Sheet heading towards the Appalachians?

  4. Global Climate Disruption? They passed up a good opportunity. They could have called it “Evil Conservatives Nuking Us From Orbit” or something. As long as they’re changing the name, they might as well have gotten some other uses out of it.

  5. Snigs- Concur…

    Bubble- Yep, remember Times mag’s cover back around 76? Um… Can I take the 3 mile thick Ice Sheet, and make sure it gets to DC???

    WBX- Yep, they did…

  6. Isn’t the ultimate punishment for liars; no one believes you when you are telling the truth? “Spin” is just another way of lying. I say this as someone who sold cars for thirty years.
