Weather channel

I followed a link from Drudge to Science Alert about Harrison Ford giving a speech wherein he said, "stop giving power to people who don't believe in science."

Silly actor. Shut up.

Just make your movies and STFU.

It's not a matter of not believing science. The actor is so stupid he cannot even frame the situation properly. It's a matter of not having faith in unworthy agencies and about dismissing politicized pseudo-science.

The future of humanity is at stake, Science Alert makes sure to remind us.

Then I realized the article doesn't have comments. They're a talk but don't bother listening kind of place. No rebuttals accepted. There will be no challenges made. Harrison Ford will be unassailable there.  And that forces me to realize I'm reading a big fat crock of smelly old poo.

The whole site will be poo.

Let's test. What other kind of crock full of smelly old poo does the non-responsive self-named Science related site offer?

Oh, here's a good one. An article about a black sarcophagus. The Ptolemaic era.  That's near the end. When Alexander the Great arrived and the Greeks took over, the Cleopatras are from this era, then the Romans took over then boom, that was the end of all that.
And aside from the disturbing people who wanted to taste the 2,000 year old mummy goo found inside the sarcophagus, there's no other sign of an apocalyptic curse. Unless we count climate change, which is certainly looking very apocalyptic but was already happening (is there such thing as a pre-emptive curse?).
This is exactly what "science deniers" are not believing. They've had it up to their eyeballs with the incessant propagandizing infiltrated into everything. Especially from a place that doesn't accept responses; a place unfamiliar with the concept of internet 2.0. This is the point where they lost me. I don't care to hear another word from them. Interested as I am, not from them. I can have the sarcophagus information elsewhere without the climate change propaganda that must come with it. So piss off.

And while propagandizing always be sure to look behind you. The Weather Channel defends this clip, "he is reporting on wet grass without solid foothold, and the boys are walking on solid roadway."

So what.

No. He's bent over fighting the wind slipping around when it's not necessary. Their reporter is purposefully making the weather look worse than it actually is in his area, and the boys in short pants and light clothing unaffected by wind prove it.

Have you ever watched the Science channel? Science it is not.

Yep, that's the brutal storm I have been enduring right there. Talk about facing the "teeth of the gale", that's it!

As long as they get the temperature right, is all I care about, but I do wish they tell us the humidity once in a while.

The Ptolemaic era. That's near the end. When Alexander the Great arrived and the Greeks took over, the Cleopatras are from this era

And from this, blithering idiot Cornel West will tell you Cleo was black.

Ford has a private fleet of aircraft. I have a feeling this less about AGW and more about "Peons! get out of my way."

He's just practicing his Larry Craig "wide stance". Hope he took a good reaming over this.

Nope, the shingle blew away in front of him. He's got his back to the teeth. I've never seen somebody do that in a storm. It's probably safer to do, but I just never seen it.
