No Country for Old Weathermen — The Patriot Post
[Bastardi] What I'm seeing today, and not just in the climate fight, makes little sense to me. An agenda that once preached global warming has been turned into something that's now simply climate -- the back and forth of weather that has occurred naturally throughout the ages. Propagandists say that skeptics deny the existence of climate change -- a redundant term -- and then seek to isolate and demonize those of us that point out their fallacies. They are relying on the fact that most people never bothered to look at what happened before. Guys like me make a living off researching the past to give us an advantage looking forward. Yet we have a whole group of people who have changed the rules of the game because they are getting beaten. (Remember, we were supposed to be beyond the tipping point by now because of man-caused global warming.) They take events from the past that many may not know about, pull out examples of it happening today that everyone can see in an instant, and claim it's because of anthropogenic "climate change."
