There\u2019s no stronger motivation than those two.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>LISTEN:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/586352418&amp;color=ff5500\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>According to Moore, the climate change movement has co-opted and corrupted politicans and bureaucracies\u00a0<strong>in order to exert further control over people<\/strong>, Moore explained &#8211; noting that\u00a0&#8220;green&#8221; companies only exist on the back of taxpayers.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>And so you\u2019ve got the green movement creating stories that instill fear in the public. You\u2019ve got the media echo chamber \u2014 fake news \u2014 repeating it over and over and over again to everybody that they\u2019re killing their children, and then you\u2019ve got the green politicians who are buying scientists with government money to produce fear for them in the form of scientific-looking materials, and then you\u2019ve got the green businesses, the rent-seekers and the crony capitalists who are taking advantage of massive subsidies, huge tax write-offs, and government mandates requiring their technologies to make a fortune on this, and then of course you\u2019ve got the scientists who are willingly, they\u2019re basically hooked on government grants.<\/p>\n<p>When they talk about the 99 percent consensus [among scientists] on climate change, that\u2019s a completely ridiculous and false numbers, but most of the scientists \u2014 put it in quotes, scientists \u2014 who are pushing this catastrophic theory are getting paid by public money. They are not being paid by General Electric or Dupont or 3M to do this research, where private companies expect to get something useful from their research that might produce a better product and make them a profit in the end because people want it \u2014 build a better mousetrap type of idea \u2014 but most of what these so-called scientists are doing is simply producing more fear so that politicians can use it control people\u2019s mind and get their votes because some of the people are convinced, \u2018Oh, this politician can save my kid from certain doom.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Moore also warned that manmade climate change, known scientifically as anthropogenic global warming, threatens modern reasoning itself &#8211; much like the persecution of Galileo.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But this abomination that is occurring today in the climate issue is the biggest threat to the Enlightenment that has occurred since Galileo,&#8221; said Moore. &#8220;Nothing else comes close to it. This is as bad a thing that has happened o science in the history of science.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It is the biggest lie since people thought the Earth was at the center of the universe. This is Galileo-type stuff. If you remember, Galileo discovered that the sun was at the center of the solar system and the Earth revolved around it. He was sentenced to death by the Catholic Church, and only because he recanted was he allowed to live in house arrest for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n<p>So this was around the beginning of what we call the Enlightenment, when science became the way in which we gained knowledge instead of using superstition and instead of using invisible demons and whatever else, we started to understand that you have to have observation of actual events and then you have to repeat those observations over and over again, and that is basically the scientific method.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s taking over science with superstition and a kind of toxic combination of religion and political ideology. There is no truth to this. It is a complete hoax and scam,&#8221; Moore concluded.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2019-03-08\/global-warming-hoax-and-scam-pushed-greedy-government-scientists-greenpeace-co\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2019-03-08\/global-warming-hoax-and-scam-pushed-greedy-government-scientists-greenpeace-co<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31849"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31849\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
