What Climate Scientists Can Learn From The Aztecs | Real Science

Like the Aztecs, many climate scientists believe that sacrificial offerings are necessary to stabilize the climate. But there are some key differences.

  1. Aztecs correctly believed that the climate was controlled by the moods of the Sun. Modern climate scientists have not progressed that far yet.
  2. Aztec priests believed that only a small percentage of the population needed to be sacrificed, whereas the modern priests believe that everyone (except for themselves)  needs to sacrifice.

I score their understanding of climate science as  : Aztecs 2, Hansen 0

Over the last two years, temperatures have been falling at a rate of 10C per century.  Maybe they need to switch to an ice age scare again.
