Science/Journalism 101

So you want to be a scientist... or how about a journalist? Either way I am about to save you a ton of money. No need to waste your time and money on education. Why bother, when all you need to know is how to link everything to CLIMATE CHANGE. That alone will guarantee a successful career in this day and age. Lets take a look shall we...

Take note of the HEADLINE here...

Fever outbreak linked to climate change

It does not say "Fever outbreak linked to globalization". Although that is more factual, it just won't get the same amount of publication as does "Fever outbreak linked to climate change" will.

This next one is a little bit more underhanded. It never actually mentions "climate change". It simply leads the reader to believe that it is linked to "climate change" here on earth. You know...the OMFG factor... We are going to end up just like Venus if we don't stop the production of CO2!

Runaway greenhouse effect turned Venus into oven, scientists say


Lets not let the little fact that Venus is much closer to the sun and therefore much hotter get in the way of a good climate change theory.

Russell said, "If I were designing the planets, I would exchange Mars and Venus's position."

Venus is warmer and has a thick atmosphere, while Mars doesn't have enough atmosphere for life.

"If you put Mars where Venus is and Venus where Mars is, that would be perfect" for life to evolve, Russell said.


The genius of a scientist... Perfect my ass! Does it not occur to Russel that if Mars were to be in Venus's place in the solar system, Mars would have the exact same problem due to its proximity to the sun? Personally if it were me playing God, I would just put all of the planets in the same orbit as the Earth and spread them out a bit like a marry go round.... we know this is the "sweet spot" in our solar system as we are the only life in it! Not too hot and not too cold... baby bear says its just right...

Yes boys and girls, it is... just that easy!

Lets not forget that although Venus and Earth have roughly the same amount of carbon in them, Earth carries it in the form of carbonate rock. Venus carries it in the form of carbonate gas in the atmosphere. I noticed that years ago, scientists were saying that Mars's atmosphere wasn't poisonous, rather, just too thin to breath. (Something akin to around 40000 ft here)...Now, all of a sudden, it's full of co2 and toxic to us.
I think that we have the runaway mouth effect here...

Welcome Back Sycorax.. long time no see...

One thing is certain... all the planets are doomed in the end including the one we live on and there is NOTHING we can do about it. The sun is going to burn itself out eventually and take us all with it.. that whole live and die thing sure sucks don't it... might as well enjoy life... the climate alarmist don't want you to do that....
