Failure of earthquake science.

"Gold concludes on page 147: “The accumulated observations maintained in folklore and contemplated by the intelligentsia of the time meant that the ancients recognized a variety of phenomena that seemed to serve well as warnings of an impending quake. In some ways, folklore is of more practical value to residents of earthquake-prone regions than is our modern science.” He describes several incidents where people were able to evacuate their villages and towns a few hours before an earthquake because they were alerted by odors, fogs, or unusual animal behavior. Folklore has saved many lives; seismographs and stress meters have yet to achieve one correct prediction-probably because they’re measuring only effects, not causes."

Thanks.

"This fear of “another look” is more than mere scientific blindness. It’s a deliberate squeezing shut of one’s intellectual eyes, a rejection of insight, a refusal to learn. It’s directly connected to belief, to the assumption that one possesses the only possible right answer, which therefore obviates one’s considering further questions or “other looks.” Ignorance can be overcome with persistence and study. Ignorance, indeed, is the beginning of learning. But the refusal to learn is stupidity, and for it there is no remedy."

Government money promotes ignorance and stupidity.

CO2 levels fell this year.

Greenpeace founder turns in organization to FBI for RICO, wire fraud and tampering.

"Now Greenpeace has knowingly made itself the sworn enemy of all life on Earth. By opposing capitalism, it stands against the one system of economics that has been most successful in regulating and restoring the environment."

Well said.

"By opposing the use of DDT inside the homes of children exposed to the anopheles mosquito that carries malaria, Greenpeace contributed to the deaths of 40 million people and counting, most of them children. It now pretends it did not oppose DDT, but the record shows otherwise. On this as on so many issues, it got the science wrong. It has the deaths of those children on what passes for its conscience."

Enemy of humans at least.
