And scientists are never wrong, right?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, right. \u00a0Forty years ago, \u201cthe coming ice age\u201d was the great climate fear. Then runaway \u201cglobal warming\u201d. Today, that&#8217;s morphed into \u201cglobal climate change\u201d &#8211; but some scientists still insist that man is causing the planet to warm uncontrollably.<\/p>\n<p>Give me a break, folks. The earth\u2019s climate has always been changing, irregularly and due to things we simply do not yet understand, since long before man arrived. It will continue to do so long after man has departed the planet.<\/p>\n<p>Just man up and admit you don\u2019t really know what\u2019s going on. Hell, if you pitch that correctly you\u2019ll probably still get plenty of $$$ to study the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few new articles from the past couple of days (hat tip to Drudge for these &hellip; <a title=\"Meanwhile, About That \u201cGlobal Warming\u201d . . . .\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=54603\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Meanwhile, About That \u201cGlobal Warming\u201d . . . .<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":623,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-global-warming"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/623"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=54603"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54603\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=54603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=54603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=54603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
