he other day I read an article criticizing conservatives for not challenging
climate alarmism. This guy has a point. Almost no articles on these sites
show any understanding of science. Those that try often get basic facts
wrong. Your audience won't read anything scientific, and your writers can't
or won't learn science. Science may be difficult, but those who do understand
it get blacklisted by scientific journals and are ignored by the press. So
why not interview them? It almost sounds like all you really want is clicks.
Paying independent websites is essential if we're going to fight climate alarmism. The problem is that most of them are ineffectual at best.
If you don't try to learn the jargon, and won't publish anything that's in any way technical, how can you convince anyone that the science is wrong? It almost seems like conservatism is all about letting bad things happen so you have something to complain about. I was blown away when one conservative wrote a book containing factually correct information about XX and XY chromosomes. Some are even showing a sense of humor. But it seems like most people think they can succeed on the basis of strongly held opinions. It won't work and the enemy will ignore you.
Here's what you could do if you want to adopt the opposition's tactics:
More storms, more rain, massive floods in the UK and California, bigger typhoons in the Far East, snow in Montana in October. Hurricane Otis, the strongest ever to make landfall on the Pacific coast, is now causing catastrophic flooding in Acapulco. These are all unmistakable signs of global cooling!
Then hit 'em with a one-two punch by writing articles based on a deep understanding of the science. If your authors don't understand the homogeneous Wiener-Hopf equation or the Stefan-Boltzmann law, get some who do or interview somebody who does.
This issue is too important to just let happen without making a single convincing argument against it, like conservatives did with gay marriage. If something's easy to write, as opinions are, it's not worth paying for. I admit that most readers won't read if you show an equation. But give me something technical and I'll pay for it. If not, then add a button we can click that says “I already bought your stupid coffee mug, what more do you want?”
