POPSJohn Holdren, Eugenicist, Eco-fascist Science Czar Must Go!
Quoting Holdren, from Earth and the Human Future: Essays in Honor of Harrison Brown: Harrison Brown’s most remarkable book, The Challenge of Man’s Future, was published more than three decades ago. By the time I read it as a high school student a few years later, the book had been widely acclaimed. … The Challenge of Man’s Future pulled these interests together for me in a way that transformed my thinking about the world and about the sort of career I wanted to pursue. I have always suspected that I am not the only member of my generation whose aspirations and subsequent career were changed by this book of Harrison Brown’s. … As a demonstration of the power of (and necessity for) an interdisciplinary approach to global problems, the book was a tour de force. … Thirty years after Harrison Brown elaborated these positions, it remains difficult to improve on them as a coherent depiction of the perils and challenges we face. Brown’s accomplishment in writing The Challenge

POPSJohn Holdren, Obama's Science Czar, says: Forced abortions and mass sterilization needed to save the planet These disgusting Progressives sound alot like the ones in the 20s and 30s. Why not? Quotes: "A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men." "Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society." "One way to carry out this disapproval might be to insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for adoption"especially those born to minors, who generally are not capable of caring properly for a child alone. If a single mother really wished to keep her baby, she might be obliged to go through adoption proceedings and demonstrate her ability to support and care for it. Adoption proceedings probably should remain more difficult for sin

POPSThe father of Sociology suggests it is not a science From article: That’s it! That is basis for the whole sociological dictatorship. Suggest problems for emotional involvement and demand the intellect devise social solutions. It can turn any personal problem into a social problem, a social problem into a national problem, and a national problem into an international problem belonging to all humanity. Social science treats life as a series of problems for ‘society’ or united ‘Humanity’ to solve. When all the problems the social scientists can concoct from any part of the world become social problems for the WORld Management System (WORMS) to solve, the sociological dictatorship will be complete. The basic tactic for turning personal problems into social problems is to promote otherism. To be otheristic one must abandon all thought of self and think constantly of the problems of others.

POPSSword Swallowers Awareness Day Sword swallowers have made important contributions to medicine—besides giving doctors work. “In 1868 Dr. Adolph Kussmaul at the University of Freiberg, Germany, developed the rigid endoscope, by using a sword swallower as his guinea pig. And he took him around on demonstrations. And sword swallowers have been used throughout the years as guinea pigs for the medical and science communities. That’s what we’re celebrating on February 28th, on Sword Swallowers Day.”

POPSSocial Science is not Science "Their desire to hold on to that illusion causes them to resist many sorts of new information which conflict with their ideas. That is very human, but it ain't science. Indeed, what goes on in the social sciences would make for a fascinating sociological study." I have long held the view that social sciences are profound bullhockey, if I may use a technical term. If you research the foundations of these "disciplines" you will find that they are all based in a materialist foundation and seek to confirm that foundation through the masterful manipulation of descriptive and inferential statistics. It is time we recognize that sociology and much of the psycho-pop babble we are subjected to is nothing more than materialist propaganda.

POPSMore bad news for alarmists For example, the recent summary by Fred Singer and 22 expert contributors to “Nature, Not Human Activity, Rules the Climate” makes some extraordinary statements about computer models. (In addition to the many excellent contributors, this summary also contains 167 references to the scientific literature). This is important since computer models are being improperly, yet extensively, used by state legislatures as the basis of policies for greenhouse gas mitigation, rather than using actual climate data taken from the real world. These statements include: Computer models do not consider variations of irradiance and magnetic fields of the sun Computer models do not accurately model the role of clouds Computer models do not simulate a possible negative feedback from water vapor Computer models do not explain many features of the Earth’s observed climate. Computer models cannot produce reliable predictions of regional climate change.

POPSChicken Little? No warming since 1998. Even some alarmists say we are in for at least a decade of cooling.

POPSThe Alarmist's Slick Trick "How have Al Gore and the fraudsters pulled it off? It’s really simple. They just flipped the burden of proof and put it on the “deniers” — the skeptics, who don’t believe the computer models. With the Left in control of the media, you can do it. So now it’s prove to me you’re not a witch! Because there is no decisive evidence. There are 21 computer models that “prove” global warming over the next century. By the time 2050 rolls around, most of the modelers will be dead."

POPSConsequences of Materialism Bjorn Lomborg launched the Copenhagen Consensus with the question “How to spend $50 billion to make the World a Better Place” The 2004 Copenhagen Consensus published “Global Crises, Global Solutions” (2004, ISBN 0 521 60614 4) where eight distinguished economists ranked global challenges by cost effectiveness. The 2004 Copenhagen Consensus results were: 1. Control of AIDS 2. Providing micronutrients 3. Trade liberalisation 4. Control of malaria 5. Develop new agricultural tech 6. Community-managed water supply and sanitation 7. Small-scale water technology 8. Research on water productivity in food production 9. Lowering the cost of starting a business 10. Lowering barriers to migration for skilled workers 11. Improving infant and child nutrition 12. Scaled-up basic health services 13. Reducing the prevalence of LBW 14. Guest worker programmes for the unskilled 15. Optimal carbon tax 16. The Kyoto Protocol 17. Value-at-risk ca

POPSThe Next Great Pseudo-Science I've been reading a lot about this over the past few months. Talk about the brave new world. This is the next step in Materialist control. It will make political correctness look like child's play. If they can pawn global warming off, then this will be a snap. Get ready for more useful idiots to engage in the esoteric-eroticism while not having a clue what they are talking about.

POPSScience this century Via Amgumen's clip: Global Warming is an official psuedo-science. In his book "Dancing Naked in the Mind Field", Nobel laureate Kary Mullis (molecular biologist, biochemist and inventor of the Polymerase Chain Reaction) summarizes - in Chapter 11, appropriately entitled "What happened to the Scientific Method?" - the negative consequences of the pseudoscientific fads which Official Science regularly promotes, and the widespread stupidity that this engenders:

POPSThe Big Business of Global Warming Alarmism Via Aguman's clip: Global warming is an official pseudo-science. "'Global warming' is likely to be the most expensive pseudo-scientific hoax ever implemented. As of August 22, 2005 - and since the Kyoto protocol came into effect on February 16, 2005 - the Kyoto Agreement has cost 80 billion dollars for, supposedly, a prevention of warming by 0.0008 deg C... To prevent a 1 deg C increase it will cost some 100 trillion dollars . One can measure this wasteful capital expenditure by the 16 billion that was needed to shore up New Orleans and the Mississippi delta from a stage 5 hurricane like Katrina, or by the paltry 3 billion that the US spends annually in orthodox research on alternative energy (reduced, in essence, to solar cells and wind turbines) . 'Global warming' is a clearcut example of the central role acquired by antiproduction in global capitalism. "

POPSIn support of the facts on anthropogenic global warming The basic facts are as follows. There is nothing unusual about the present climate. The Earth has been far, far warmer than today and far, far colder. Our present interglacial (the mild bit between ice ages) is not nearly as warm as previous interglacials. Nor are we in a particularly warm part of the interglacial.

POPSDenier is the new heretic. When an ignorant moron takes to calling someone a denier they are showing they cannot deal in the real world of facts and science. More typical foolishness of the LIARS that fall for such lunacy. I call them liars because they cannot make a case. They do not discuss the merits of the science and usually display they have no clue what they are talking about. They call Bush a liar because of perhaps faulty intelligence. However, on the global warming issue the facts are clear.

POPSFighting Global Warming (with plankton) Ah, what the Hell. Let's see what happens. How stupid can people be. The article states clearly "questions remain". This reminds me of the proposals to cover the polar ice caps with black soot, suggested in the 70s, to prevent "global cooling". Every time whacked-out environmentalists do something to "help", it ends up hurting.
