Democrats “Believe In Science”

Posted on January 18, 2016 by stevengoddard

By denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox.

Last night Martin O’Malley announced that “Democrats believe in science” right before he said that “we” can make the electrical grid 100% wind and solar by the year 2050. I’m not sure who “we” is, but I am pretty sure that the sun doesn’t shine at night and that the wind doesn’t blow all the time. Only a complete, utter moron would base the grid off of intermittent low intensity energy sources.

In 2008, science believer Robert Kennedy Jr. blamed the demise of Virginia snowfall on Sarah Palin.

In Virginia, the weather also has changed dramatically. Recently arrived residents in the northern suburbs, accustomed to today’s anemic winters, might find it astonishing to learn that there were once ski runs on Ballantrae Hill in McLean, with a rope tow and local ski club. Snow is so scarce today that most Virginia children probably don’t own a sled. But neighbors came to our home at Hickory Hill nearly every winter weekend to ride saucers and Flexible Flyers.

When he was born in the 1950’s there was very little snow, but a sharp drop in temperatures from 1955 to 1960 led to a large increase in snowfall in the 1960’s – which is what he remembers. Since then, DC area snowfall has returned to normal levels.



Washington DC is facing the possibility of a monster snowstorm later this week, with my favorite cycling destination right in the middle of it.



There has been no long term trend in temperatures or snowfall around DC, and also no change in the frequency of hot days.



Democrats confuse science with superstition. They refuse to look at facts, and instead rely on their own echo chamber propaganda as the basis of their beliefs.

In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.

Science is not a belief system. It is a process which requires thought and discussion to progress – not censorship and dogma.

It is surely harmful to souls to make it a heresy to believe what is proved.
