Expertism, Expertists, and Climate Scientists
Expertism has been the ruin of us these past few years. As a society, and enforced through our government agencies, we’ve allowed experts to exert too much influence, exercise too much power, make too many choices for us… because they know better. Because they are the experts and you are not.
Expertists perpetuate Expertism. The defenders and enablers of this awful practice set the tone and set the rules. You obey. The scorn heaped upon you if you don’t obey is earned, it’s your fault, brought upon yourself by your silly “freeDUMB” … you know, the freedumb to kill people.
Selfish.
The overreach of Covid madness tracks alongside climate change madness.
In regard to climate change, we are overrun by Expertists.
The “existential threat” demands your attention. And, as with Covid, your compliance will be enforced… for your own good, of course.
Dustin Granger and Davante Lewis are Expertists; they believe in Expertism.
The whole of the Democrat Party are Expertists.
Al Gore pretty much invented Expertism, delivering it into mainstream culture with his Inconvenient Truth.
In this week’s CVL, we get a great introduction to a different set of experts, these counter the prevailing narrative about climate change.
These scientists counter Expertism.
We’re pitting scientists against experts, so to speak. And our intention is to provide you with information and choice.
We begin with this Tom Nelson podcast, specifically because you’ll hear a short clip from highly-respected scientists, you’ll get a very wide sampling of thought, and you can find the person’s name listed below the video, time stamped. This is great content, selected because of the potential for discovery for you.
We move next to Richard Lindzen. This lecture will take work; he’s dense and a bit dry. But the information and its clarity here is unmatched. You’ll feel a bit like a senior in college… take notes, commit to it, and you’ll learn so much from Dr. Lindzen.
Here’s his bio from Wikipedia:
Richard Lindzen (born February 8, 1940) is an American atmospheric physicist known for his work in the dynamics of the middle atmosphere, atmospheric tides, and ozone photochemistry. He has published more than 200 scientific papers and books. From 1983 until his retirement in 2013, he was Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was a lead author of Chapter 7, "Physical Climate Processes and Feedbacks," of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Third Assessment Report on climate change.
Top notch and professorial…
Let’s move to something easier to take in… Will Happer, Professor of Physics Emeritus, Princeton University, author of hundreds of scientific papers, speaking a couple years ago at Hillsdale College. He’s an easy pleasure to listen to and conveys his messages with delight and thoroughness.
We are so grateful to all of you. This past week’s readership levels are the highest we’ve ever seen in our 5 months of existence.
Thank you
