Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I'm gonna piss off a lot of people with this...

... but I have to say what's on my mind.

I am a religious person. I believe in G-d and I adhere to many religious rules, including dietary restrictions and a bunch of other things that are not always fun.

However, when I read about, or interact with, climate activists/activism, I sort of understand why those who reject religion are the way they are. It's been said that religion was invented by ancient humans as a way to explain that which couldn't be explained and/or to control people who otherwise would have been raping, killing, pillaging, etc. without the prospect of a higher power punishing them.

So I see people saying things like "we have to change everything or the planet will die in 10 years" while providing really no scientific evidence that this position is rooted in anything other than fear and a desire to seize power. Much like when the ancient people had to face the question "why shouldn't I kill this guy who is annoying me", people today want to stop others from doing things that they don't like simply by saying "it's to save the planet."

When you can't explain something, it used to be that you'd credit or blame G-d. Now, when you can't explain something, the post-modern progressives want to either blame/credit climate change or, more generally, science, even though science never is static and certainly never is absolute.

Pretty much every prediction about climate change has been wrong, yet it is replacing religion for many people on the left, the very same people who dismiss religion as a fraud.

This isn't to say that I have no use for science, or I want to see the planet polluted, but if you're going to say that religion is a fraud because you can't prove that G-d exists, you have to also question science as a religion since science is almost always unable to explain things beyond a superficial slogan.*

* not all science, of course. Things like chemistry or engineering are pretty well established in fact and practice.

Al Gore said the planet was over by 2005. Just saying.

I'm still freezing to death from the '70s ice age prediction....by scientists.

Then he proceeded to make gobs of money off ownership in BS climate change companies that provided no impact other than enriching his portfolio.

99% is absolutely heretical BS.

PS

I like the idea of killing people who annoy me.

LOL

Global warming IS a religion.
There is no dash in God.

Well at least cave their face in........

I'll add that I'm not pissed at you either.

I'm good with: '...as long as the earth remains, seedtime and harvest will not cease...'

Didja know that the roots of the business side of clean-up the world/ climate change industry came out of the carting industry (northern New Jersey and NY metro area?

who ran the carting industry?

Remsen, I believe in neither religion nor human-caused climate change. They're both artificial constructs to try to explain something or achieve a political end. And they're both fallacies. But there are people who rabidly believe in one or the other - maybe even both.

They can't accurately predict the weather 10 days out but I'm supposed to believe they can tell me what's going to happen in 10 years.... Lol.

Good post, Remsen.

Was a good post thanks.

We’ve been recording weather at least 125 years!!!
LOL!

Left office with 1.7 Million, now worth 300 Million. And a bunch of retard hipsters are riding bikes around town, working at the farmer's market and thinking anything is going to change.

Well known fact that when the USSR broke up, the commies overwhelmingly flocked to the Environmental movement...their goal is to destroy capitalism and they saw the useful idiots just waiting amongst that particular movement.

I'll be glad to sprinkle some Kryptonite dust on him for ya, Beave, next time I see the fugk.

We've been in global warming since the end of the last ice age some 17,000 yewrs ago.
Al Gore and his agenda can FOAD.

US News and World Report had a similar opinion in 1975. They said by the year 2000 that the climate would be so cool that wheat producing areas could not grow enough wheat.

Nope. We've been in global warming since the MIDDLE of the last ice age. That's what caused the ice to BEGIN melting.

We are probably at about the high point of the warming and should begin to see global temps start to decrease - over the next 15,000 or so years.

The end-of-the-world scenario climatologists have not one single clue or shred of evidence to genuinely support their BS claims.

Fu^ck 'em & they'd be advised not to get in my face with their BS either.
