Worrying about Climate Changes
As The Tyber Lustig Foundation often reiterates, of all the things that can affect a person’s quest for a happy life, worrying about things that we cannot control is a completely useless exercise. At the top of this list is the seemingly never-ending discussion over climate change. Hopefully, in our usual search for common ground, everyone should agree that the climate changes. It always has and always will.
Once we get by this FACT is when differences of opinions emerge. A number of people are insistent that human behavior is to blame and that by merely reducing or eliminating advancements in modern society, climate patterns are controllable. At this point of the discussion, we would like to inject one of our staple suggestions for living a happy life by asking the question, “Says who?” In this instance the answer is often certain members of the atmospheric scientist community.
What is Atmospheric Science? Atmospheric Science is the study of the earth’s atmosphere. The most common segment of this community are Meteorologists who have tried for centuries to accurately predict what the local or national weather will be for any given specified time horizon using a host of newly developed tools to assist them. Despite tremendous advancements in technology, determining what the EXACT weather will be on any given day continues to prove to be elusive. Moreover, the further out the time period, the more imprecise this exercise becomes.
Another segment of the Atmospheric Science community is known as Climate Scientists. For whatever their reasons, some people choose to elect this career path over being a Meteorologist. Given the difficulty in predicting with 100% accuracy what the weather will be this weekend let alone next month, it is not surprising people choose a Climate Science career over meteorology.
So how does a Climate Scientist get paid? In most cases a Climate Scientist is an employee of either a public, private or governmental entity. Depending on the entity, their mission statements may vary. What does not vary is the need for funding. As is so often the case with almost everything, it is about the money. When something becomes about money, there then needs to be a sale’s pitch in order to attract money.
An objective independent study that concluded, the climate changes, always have, always will, and there is nothing we can do about it, would not be a desired result from a monetary standpoint. Climate Scientists would then have to figure out other ways to earn a living and pay for their student loans.
The bottom line is that young people like Greta Thunberg, of Sweden and many others are worrying themselves sick over uncontrollable factors and are setting themselves up for an unhappy life. Being concerned about the cleanliness of the water we drink and the air we breathe is fine but taking anything to an extreme is never a good thing in the quest of a happy life.
As we elaborate in our content on the perils of being too gullible, The Tyber Lustig Foundation implores people to develop their own levels of common sense and logic. Over 1.3 MILLION earths can fit into the SUN! Do you think it is reasonable to assume that what goes on with the Sun has more to do with earth’s climate than what type of car we drive or appliances we use? Stop being so gullible when listening to the likes of billionaire Bill Gates who financially supports the idea of “dimming the Sun!” This is the same person who thought it was a good idea to visit Epstein Island 37 TIMES!
In conclusion, there are no shortages of things in a person’s life to worry about. Worrying about what the climate will be 100’s of years from now should not be one of them. All we can do is hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Planning an outdoor wedding? Have a plan B. On a cloudy day, bring an umbrella and hope to not have to use it. When it comes to the weather, there is no such thing as a controllable human thermostat. It’s just common sense. Stop being so gullible. You will be happier.
