Monday Mirthiness: A ‘psychic’ view of climate change

Psychic Medium Ian Scott writes via our “submit story” link:

Climate Change Please Use Common Sense.

Climate change, global warming the heated debate goes on and on. A handful of scientists say one thing and a handful of scientists say another ? which scientists do we believe ? “none of them”. Lets all use our common sense, “I know” many of you are now asking what’s that.

A Climate Change Skeptic ?

Earth is a living breathing organism just like any other living thing, it feels, it hurts, it cries, it grows and changes. If we remove all minerals and metals from any living thing will it survive ?. If we drill enormous holes in any living thing and withdraw it’s fluid constantly, I ask you, will it live ? the common sense answer is, of course not. Scientists words are not gospel they can be paid off just like anyone else to say whatever suits their or their payee’s purposes. The governments answer to tax and throw money at it, is futile, the corporations ( banks, electricity, mainstream media, ) run this world and the biggest ones are the oil company’s they literally hold everyone on the planet to ransom. Oil has been the cause of many wars on earth including the ones happening now.

Unfortunately we are all powerless against these corporations as they hold the influence in governments and now with the TPP they will literally own the governments. This is where all the false reports come from it is very similar to a handful ( not all ) of viral posts or viral youtube videos, the more money you have the more views or lies you can afford. Unfortunately money, greed and power are the goals of most people on the planet, “money makes the world go round” well yes it does, in a world of money, greed and power. With enough money you can make people believe anything you want them to.

Climate Change Conspiracy

Every living being on the planet should understand this common sense factor about global warming, it should not take any guessing and trying to prove anything from anybody, scientist or not. It does not take a genius or psychic for that matter to comprehend the damage we are doing to the earth. Now the solution is as many of us know already is free and renewable energy but the corporations hold this from us too. Climate change has effects on humans, animals, plants and all living things. If common sense is used these corporations paying millions to make us believe climate change is not real, will go broke trying. © by psychic medium Ian Scott

“With enough money you can make people believe anything you want them to.”
So let’s calculate how much money it would require for Mr. Ian Scott to believe that “Earth is a living breathing organism just like any other living thing, it feels, it hurts, it cries, it grows and changes.” A quick calculation…
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1FOP3gO5UPg/UA2DsXc55XI/AAAAAAAAAIc/qtaptkS0ihI/s1600/proof.gif
and you can see that it would require slightly more than one Money Bin’s worth of money to make someone believe this. For those of you that don’t know how much a Money Bin’s worth of cash is, here is an accurate depiction:

So, like, it’s precisely those hive-bozo, eco-emetic retch-boogers, like the one in the topside post, that have literally turned me into a chronic commode-hugger (BARF!!!–I’m sorry…yes…yes…I feel much better now…thank you) and that have made of the blogosphere a veritable, greenwashed vomitorium for millions of hapless, up-chucker victims, just like moi. Speakin’ of which, there’s a disturbing rumor goin’ around the web that a video of that infamous, and until recently thought apocryphal, bump-and-grind, thong-event spectacle Eli Rabett made of himself at last year’s “Cookie-Tossers Festival”, hosted by the “Bulemics for Gaia” community, that reportedly clinched, for him, his upset big-win of the the “Mr. Gag-Reflex” title, thus ending David Appell’s two-decade winning “streak” in that competition, which, in turn, reportedly, had ol’ Dave throwin’ a totally age-inappropriate, big-baby, sore-loser temper-tantrum (tough titty, Dave!). And let me just say that if that video shows up without a trigger-warning in the header, I’m gonna sue every Gaia-freak geek-ball in the Galaxy under the RICO statute!

This guy has no idea what is talking about, he says
Quote: “money makes the world go round” well yes it does/end quote.
Fact that our planet is turning around its axes has nothing to do with money, which was invented more than 4.5 billion years ago before our it started.
He needs to learn few facts::
All planetary and stellar systems are born from the collapse of dense interstellar clouds. As an interstellar cloud collapses, it fragments each collapsing independently and each carrying part of the original angular momentum. The rotating clouds flatten into protostellar disks, out of which individual stars and their planets form.
The very slight rotation that the cloud has in the beginning is increased dramatically when the collapse takes place (conservation of angular momentum). Planets form from material in this disk, through accretion of smaller particles. The dynamics of a rotating body is of course controlled by forces like gravity Kepler’s laws are a direct consequence of gravity.
Angular momentum is given by L=m*w*r2 where m is the mass, w is the angular velocity in radians per second, and r is the radius of the circular motion.
So there it is. /sark

Wonder if Psychic Medium Ian Scott saw this coming
================================================
“Now the solution is as many of us know already is free and renewable energy but the corporations hold this from us too”
================================================
I wonder what makes Ian Scott think that??? If “Free (affordable) and Renewable Energy” (beyond current 25% capacity factor Solar production and 30% capacity factor Wind production both of which require 10’s of thousands of acres to produce the same quantity of electricity that a single 12 acre Nuclear facility can) were even remotely available is there any corporation in the world that could effectively “Hold this from us too”??
The missing caveat to his factors is the necessity of “Affordable” as there is no such thing as “Free Energy” and current renewables are far more costly than traditional sources.

Interesting. Disagreeing with you is the same thing as not allowing you to have an opinion.
In other words, no one is allowed to express an opinion that differs from yours, because that would mean you can’t have an opinion.
To conclude, no one else is permitted to have an opinion. Once you have stated yours we are obligated to either agree with you, or remain quiet.

Mr. Scott, it’s easy to fling around touchy-feely catch phrases and paint with a broad brush. How about offering some details? Define “greed” and give us some specific examples. Explain to us exactly how corporations “run the world” and again give some examples. How exactly do corporations control your life personally? Because I can’t think of a corporation I’m unable to walk away from if I choose. If you don’t like how the world works- tell us, how would you have it work? What’s your alternative to those evil corporations?
And about that “free” renewable energy- show us the math & physics. I think you’ve fallen into that trap of thinking that “taking someone’s word for it” and “knowing” are the same thing.

Reply to  Eustace Cranch
June 7, 2016 9:07 am

Hello love the use of words you have, excellent. It’s just an opinion piece it’s worth nothing. But it helps us to think and see another’s point of view. Greed is having everything and as much as you can have but still are wanting more. Greed is not helping others who live in the same home as you earth. I could go on but… it’s not worth it.

Now that I’ve regained my composure, this reminds me of a sermon I heard back in the ’60s.
“Now everybody knows the earth turns on a giant axis that God put there. Man thinks he is so smart because he can drill down in the earth and pump out the oil and use that. Now you tell me what will happen when those axis run dry? The whole dang thing will grind to a halt, that’s what will happen. It is common sense; plain as day.”

“Will Guam capsize?”
Two interesting things to consider: (1) the officer giving testimony before the committee simply blinked once — hard — and calmly assured the Congressman that, no, islands do not tend to flip over if they get too top-heavy and (b) most importantly, Congressman Johnson (how I cringe that I share the same surname) continues to be re-elected. While the military officer has, by now, no doubt, retired to a miniscule pension, that genius behind the microphone will probably have millions when he finally decides to leave Congress. That, my fellow Americans (and observing others), is the “climate change” adventure in another guise.
Somebody hand me a beer and some extra-salty peanuts. If I have to watch that show, I might as well get comfortable.

Not meaning to be negative Scott. I have certainly known of 2 people with predictive ability one of which was my grandmother. Problem is, most times (998 out of 1000) when people see the term Psychic used, it is generally followed by “…reading $49.95” and so very little credence is given for the claim of ability. It is almost always seen as a Scam where people send you pages of documents containing astrological charts with various unrecognizable symbols representing planetary alignments and zodiacal houses then include a bill for $100.00 or more. Nothing personal though

Nothing personal Scott. Most of the time when psychic is used, it is often seen in the same realm as Snake Oil remedies. 998 times out of 1000 the purported psychic just wants your money. Like those that will sell you an astrological chart containing zodiacal houses and related planetary alignments with a bill for $100 or more. While I have known 2 people with true predictive ability, I have known far too many that appear to be in it just for the money. Again nothing against you personal, just purported psychics in general.

“…Every living being on the planet should understand this common sense factor about global warming, it should not take any guessing and trying to prove anything from anybody, scientist or not. It does not take a genius or psychic for that matter to comprehend the damage we are doing to the earth…”

When a psychic can’t see or Predict the basics…
The Earth is 8,000 miles, (12,875km), in diameter.
The largest or deepest mines barely scratch this surface. Mineral deposits can be found down to 25 miles, (40km).
Man has mostly confined themselves to obvious surface deposits. There are far more deposits hidden in the Earth than man can understand.
All water, metals, minerals are eventually recycled. If not by man, then by tectonics. Only those tiny things we send into space escape recycling, temporarily.
Any CO2 mankind sends into the air will be converted back into sugars and starches by plants.
Ian Scott’s claims regarding damage we are doing to Earth are imaginary. What is obvious is Scott’s deep depression belief that man causes damage to Earth. Earth is so large, compared to all of mankind that Earth barely notices mankind.

“…Now the solution is as many of us know already is free and renewable energy but the corporations hold this from us too…”

Perpetual energy machines have proven false time and again. Claiming that there is such a thing as ‘free’ or ‘renewable’ energy is incredibly childish and ignorant.
What the eco-loons call ‘renewable’ or ‘free’ is available only at great expense requiring heavy industry efforts of mining, smelting, refining, machining, construction, fabrication, development, testing and maintenance.
Yet, virtually all of the heavy industries are unable to rely upon allegedly ‘renewable’ energy as the sources are unable to control output.
Only a fool, a psychic, a Socialist, or an ‘Occupy Wall Street member’ believes Corporations have any responsibility for withholding such technology. Even Politicians realize that solar and wind require substantial subsidies to entice businesses into such risky investments.

Smokey Yunick also was able to get high mileage rates by using preheated/vaporized gasoline but apparently the lean mixture was rather hard on engine components and nothing ever came of it.

marcus… Time for an upgrade. Back in the day, a 12 speed was the hot setup. But now that we have 10 and 11 cog cassettes from Shimano, SRAM, and Compagnolo, 20 and 22 speed bikes are the norm, or 30 and 33 speeds with a triple crankset. On a good day, I can burn upwards of 1000 calories per hour 25 mph, which works out to be about 775 mpg (assuming 31,000 calories to a gallon of gas, and assuming that I could drink the stuff)

The Louvre’s closure proves art cannot survive climate change

Who didn’t see that coming? Interesting that a flood is climate change—I distinctly remember floods clear back to when I was 6 or 7 and we were drying out my grandfather’s basement after a flood. He lived close to the river and it happened now and then. No one yelled “global warming” or anything like that—just “Where’s the mop?” Then there was the massive 1993 flood of the Midwest that lasted for weeks. No “global warming” chant there either. Was there some magical event that suddenly made global warming the cause of everything? If so, that’s not science—I think that would make it a god and then it would be religion.
Anyway, Paris might want to come up with a serious evacuation plan for the future since even believers admitted there is no real effort by the world to stop increasing CO2, and it’s doubtful there ever will be and it may not help. So pay out some bucks and get a plan.

I recently saw a post on instagram showing the various flood levels from historical floods in Paris. The current one was near the bottom.

Yes Millie, that old saying “money being the root of all evil” is as real today as it was yesteryear.

Actually, it’s “The love of money is a root of all evil”.
Nothing wrong with dollar in your pocket. But what are you willing to do to get it?

“Climate change has effects on humans, animals, plants and all living things.”
Pray tell could you please explain to me exactly what are these effects you are referring to?

In the winter, I put on a coat.
In the summer, I take it off.

Again, talking about a changing climate, that is correct, but talking about “climate change due to human CO2 emissions”, not so correct.

Earth is a living breathing organism just like any other living thing, it feels, it hurts, it cries, it grows and changes. If we remove all minerals and metals from any living thing will it survive ?

This planet was fine and dandy before we got here and will be fine and dandy long after we’re gone. I’d recommend this psychic try channeling George Carlin.

This psychic was clearly channelling Arthur Conan Doyle, whose book “when the Earth screamed” has Professor Challenger hurt the Earth (in order to get its attention) by drilling.
If the Earth is indeed growing, then we need to kill it before the resulting earthquakes destroy us.

No, there are a surprising number of at apparently sincere people who think this way. Whether it’s sincerity or just lucrative is hard to say, but they are out there.

Even dim-witted and poorly educated people want to be “relevant”; nobody likes being useless just because they know or have achieved absolutely nothing. There are a variety of ways to accomplish this:
1) Claim a Nobel prize without actually winning it
2) Run for president (2016 USA only)
3) Tattoos. Lots of Tattoos
4) Dye your hair various glow-in-the-dark colors
5) Be a psychic
6) Correct other people’s grammar & punctuation in web postings
7) Do a climate model and/or study

Well the Team UN IPCC TM changed the common definition of science.
So why not “Common Sense”?
As noted above this kind of emoting is all too common these days.
In fact there was a lovely obituary written for Common Sense running loose on the internet a few years back.
Hans Christian Anderson wrote this tale all too well decades ago, shame school children do not get to read “The Emperors New Clothes” anymore.
“Everybody knows” is one of those certainties, you can be certain the speaker has never given it a moments thought.
In my opinion, belief in an animate planet, being convinced of CAGW as a fact, are clear indicators of character.
Banishment is the only just punishment for fools of this calibre.
There really are people ,too dangerous to be loose in your community.
When the true costs of this mass hysteria are compiled, somebody is going to pay..That is just the way we are.
Hopefully we will scapegoat the right fools and bandits this time around.

Common sense tells me that psychic mediums are not to be believed…just like AGW zealots.

Now the solution is as many of us know already is free and renewable energy but the corporations hold this from us too.
=====================
Why doesn’t Google give us all free energy over the Internet? Think of all the new customers they would get with their free energy. The advertising revenues from AdWords would more than pay for the energy.
All we would need to do is plug our cell phones into the cigarette lighter in the car, and tune in Google on the Internet. With all that fee energy we could drive forever in our electric cars, and put the evil oil companies out of business overnight.
The problem is obviously Google. They are holding this free energy from us.

Yr: “Free energy comes from the sun”
Well Thrive-On, I mean, like, that’s a kick-butt zinger-comeback, if ever I heard one. But I’m a little confused, here. I mean, like, you speak like a “regular-guy” Oz-dude, and everything, while Tom O., in contrast, favors a more up-tight, big-bore sort of utilitarian, carping bot-speak, as the vehicle for his quip-mongering. And then there’s Psychic Medium Ian Scott’s manner of speech–a painstakingly-constructed, stilted, pseudo-oracular gibberish, of a quirky sort that your standard-issue, generic dumb-kid just might mistake for a simultaneous, Babelfish translation of the Enochian. So what’s the deal here, anyway? I mean, like, you three are all the same guy, aren’t you?–aren’t you?
