A journalist asked an inconvenient question about Climategate to a hoity-toity global warming expert from Stanford. He didn’t like it at all, and the UN staff apparently intervened to stop the apostasy. Watch, and then note my further comment below.
Unlike some, I don’t think the guard was a goon. He was told to prevent any questions being asked after the event ended, which he did.
But back to the professor: We are not about to accept the “science” being pitched by people whose values we don’t trust, either. The use of that term by the professor was very telling, vividly illustrating how overtly political that global warming hysterics are, which is why the warmers so hate heterodox thinkers.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
