Chuckles Krauthammer, Verbatim, On Climate Science: "I'm Not Impressed By Numbers"

EDIT

In the wake of yet another report on the impact climate change is already having on the world, Krauthammer took to Wednesday's "Special Report" to compare belief in the theory to belief in the power of gods to control the weather.

"It's the oldest superstition around," he said. "It was in the Old Testament, it's in the rain dance of Native Americans: if you sin, the skies will not cooperate."

Krauthammer said the consensus around the science of climate change was just as dubious as the consensus around other debunked theories.

"I'm not impressed by numbers," he said.

Being numb to Global Warming is a comfortable position to take. Most of us will be dead by the time it gets really bad and in the meantime the comfort level of those getting older by the day is what is most important to most of us polluters.

So not only is the science scary, it is also predictive and can therefore be set aside as us running around like chicken littles claiming : "The sky is falling."

All we can really do at this point is tell the kids to be prepared. Oh wait... there's another bad thing we can be accused of: Being preppers.

Well, that's it folks. It's coming and the PTB ain't gonna do anything about it. Neither is most anyone gonna do anything but try and stay comfortable.

The changes are coming. There's no stopping. We can't stop.

If he flat-out refuses to accept reality, his brain is badly broken.

There is a consensus, it is overwhelming, it is supported by science and nothing the shills for the fossil fuel industries say will change that horrible, hard, relentless fact.
