AIDS, Global Warming, Malaria. Which one of these does not belong?
AIDS is a big problem, but not as big as we've been lead to believe. While its marketing team will proclaim it as some STD version of Ebola, they have recently had to
downgrade their estimates. In fact, they're
now actively denying that they inflated them because they look so bad. Yet that hasn't stopped the marketing team from
pushing the higher numbers domestically.
Global warming is a similar story. Years ago, it was figured out that the mathematics behind it were flawed,
discrediting the "hockey stick" that earned Al Gore's Nobel Prize. To make matters worse, the Y2K bug did have some fallout, as it seems to have
further flawed the statistics used to support the global warming frenzy. Yet, NASA and the global warming high priests can't seem to find their way to publicizing the errors.
Malaria is a different story. We allow millions to die worldwide because we can't bring ourselves to drop the ban on DDT.
We don't have the cure for AIDS, but the hysteria is deafening, powered by fraudulent predictions. Global warming is a complete fraud. Not only is it not happening, it's a complete fabrication. All the while, we keep condemning millions around the world to die from a preventable disease to protect the songbirds because of a novel. How long must this foolishness continue?
