JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: "STUDY" ON "CONSPIRACY THEORY" AND BELIEF IN CLIMATE CHANGE - TRUTH IS THAT THERE ARE GENUINE CONSPIRACIES AND THERE IS CLIMATE CHANGE BUT IT'S NOT CLEAR WE CAN HELP

John Chuckman


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT (AND QUICKLY REMOVED)



“Americans who believe in conspiracy theories about 9/11 and Princess Diana's death more likely to doubt climate change

“Scientists inspired by Donald Trump tweet investigate roots of scepticism and connection with political views”



'Americans who believe in conspiracy theories about 9/11 and Princess Diana's death more likely to doubt climate change'

That is too simplistic a concept to even be graced with the name "study."

Sounds like kind of a cheesy indirect way to call people names, which is hardly science.

I believe in climate change. Facts are facts. It does not follow, however, that the change underway was caused by human activity or that, even if it was so caused, any human effort could possibly avert it. Those are two separate matters almost always ignored by those who use the term “climate change” loosely.

I also believe that there are clearly unexplained matters both in Diana's death and most certainly in 9/11.

I do not believe Diana was assassinated. The fact is she was not important enough to bother assassinating. But absolutely, there are a number of mysterious details that have been deliberately ignored by officials.

I don't know the intention in hiding certain things about her death, such as avoiding embarrassment to other parties, but the fact is that they have done so and doing so just feeds fears.

In the case of 9/11, there is simply no doubt that we have been lied to, almost completely. It has never been explained. There's immense sound science saying that the official explanation is no explanation at all. Almost everything about the official explanation stinks.

And there are all kinds of hints and clues. Not trivial stuff, such as the CIA explosives contractor who died a little while back - a very respectable mainstream business person - and who made a deathbed confession of having wired building seven (the last one to fall well after the twin towers) under a contract for demolition.

People who try reducing complex matters to simple matters generally are themselves simple. Just so the authors of this "study."

ON THE MATTER OF 9/11, READERS MAY ENJOY:
