Buying Off All The Climate Scientists and Other Dumb Shit

This is irking me.

Why is it okay that the climate change denialists are not required to produce their peer-reviewed scientists to back up what they say?

If 98 percent of climate scientists are saying the same thing, who are the 2 percent who are saying the opposite?

And if the 98 percent have all been paid off, why hasn’t somebody cracked and come forward about that? 1 in 17,000 or whatever it is? Somebody would have by now, but nobody has.

That’s because buying all the climate scientists off isn’t really possible. The scientists know anthropogenic climate change is happening and quickly. So they have a fairly clear idea of what a relatively small heap of paper riches is going to be worth in a few years. The only way it might be possible to buy off some of them would be to buy them sports cars and hookers and cocaine and Himalayan ballooning trips and Amazon rocket ship rides (or the money to buy those things). Short-term enjoyment. Suck-all-the-marrow-out-of-life type stuff. “Have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames” level stuff (with due credit to Jim Morrison).

But there’s no evidence that’s happening. At least some of them would be doing daredevil-may-care (yes…) stuff with Elon Musk or something. You think any of them are becoming real estate investors? Venture capitalists? Hell no. That’s dumb, with the time we have left. If all the members of the 98 percent of climate scientists have been bought off to push a climate change agenda, some of those people are going to fucking live it up with the money they get.

But NONE ARE DOING THAT.

So, I say again: where is the evidence that they’ve all been bought off???
