When Ideology Trumps Science: Neil deGrasse Tyson and Cosmos on Global Warming...
Hoping for an COSMOS-sized ignorance in the general public, the left-leaning, secularist/anti-Christian producers of the new COSMOS (Episode 12) series, along with their pompous host, astronomer Neil deGrasse Tyson, have expanded their campaign against sound science when it comes to the Origins issue to include a supposed "scientific" backup for the Eco-Marxist Left and their war against the fossil fuel industry (which is the life's blood of our modern civilization) and common sense science, which refutes the notion of man-made (anthropogenic) global-warming (or as Tyson and his newly found Alarmist allies like to call it...*climate change*). Tyson ominously remarks:
"Once there was a world," host Neil deGrasse Tyson tells viewers, "not so very different from our own."
We see footage of attractive seascapes and landscapes, which represent what Venus might have looked like during the first billion years of its existence. It was apparently pleasant for a while, like the big island of Hawaii. But then, bad things started happening -- volcanoes, lava, smoke -- which released heaps of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, setting off a runaway greenhouse effect. "Once things began to unravel," Tyson explains, "there was no way back." This, not the proximity of Venus to the sun, is why the planet is now hot and oceanless.
From Here, the Script Writes Itself:
On Venus, most of the carbon dioxide is in its atmosphere, which makes the planet's surface boiling hot. In contrast, most of the carbon on Earth has for eons been trapped in its rocks and moderated by the oceans. Our comfy abode has had just the right amount of carbon dioxide in its atmosphere so that it's not too hot, not too cold. Until, that is, we started "belching" that extra carbon into the atmosphere by burning coal and oil. Around the turn of the twentieth century, the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide exceeded three hundred parts per million (ppm), and has continued to go up since then (it's now near 400 ppm). "The Earth," Tyson says, "has seen nothing like it in three million years." That's a really funny set of "facts", since most CO2 is not caused by man's capitalist activities. ...and that CO2 isn't even remotely threat to warming the planet.
Cue worrisome visuals and narration: Lots and lots of smoke stacks apparently spewing carbon dioxide into the air (most of what we see is probably steam but let that pass.) As a result, it's warmer now than in the nineteenth century. The oceans are heating up. The ice caps are melting. Permafrost near the Arctic Circle is melting, allowing plants to grow where they haven't grown for a long time (apparently that's bad). Rising sea levels are giving rise to floods, including floods in which water flows down stairs inside buildings. There will be mass extinctions. The planet will look browner.
And why? Because we're careless and greedy (the classic #leftard
Eco-Marxist line.) That's not a paraphrase. Here's Tyson: "Our carelessness and greed put all of this at risk."
Fortunately, there's a solution. It's called VOTE CONSERVATIVE AND/OR REPUBLICAN in the 2014 Midterm elections!
