In a recent NBC News story, reporters chronicled the plight of the African wildebeest populations, which migrate annually to find more plentiful feeding grounds. The species' success in such relocations depends heavily on climate and water levels, which, according to modern analysts, are all "out of whack". Thus the wildebeests are in danger of...well, surely something bad. Scientists who support global warming say that recent years have strained the animals' stability. "Last year they were plagued by a drought. This year, they had too much water." What?! I thought global warming inexorably leads to drier, hotter climates. But apparently "global warming" is now an obsolete term. Nowadays it is referred to as "climate change", a more general and easily imputed cause of ANY environmental instability. Any atmospheric readings that fall outside of "average" even by one degree are labeled "dangerous, the results of climate change." What most people fail to realize is that averages are calculated from a succession of anomalous environmental conditions. The average temperature in Africa (and all over the world) is determined by numerous specific readings that all fall outside of the one "average" temperature reading. Averages are not predicted conditions. They merely represent an annual or seasonal mean; something that is determined from a slew of individual statistics and readings, many of which violate the average itself by several degrees. Deal with it. This is life. This is nature.
Modern scientists, hypnotized by the current "global warming turned climate change" frenzy, interpret any weather patterns above or below average as being proof of climate change and an imminent doomsday. It is interesting how liberals now fear the word "change" so much. This kind of backwards logic seems to prove the lunacy of their ideology. And media moguls exploit mass ignorance with cavalier gusto, employing unabashed manipulative tactics and enthymematic rhetoric. Betting that the modern citizen has been brainwashed by climate change propaganda, major news networks broadcast stories that assume we will be swayed into needless concern by listing unstable climate conditions. Knowing that "unstable climate conditions" equals "climate change", and "climate change" equals "man-made apocalypse" in the national conscience, the media knowingly plays a role in ignominious psychological fearmongering. Should we listen? Yes. Should we believe? No. If anything, such flagrant attempts to usurp our own self-reliance and critical awareness should be met with outspoken indignation, possibly even revolt. Join the cause. Fight the power. Have no fear.
