A Sept. 26 commentary in the PDN reminded me of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, “The Emperor Has No Clothes.”

Cal Thomas (“Knowing it all at 16”) has no scientific credibility.

He brings up the tired old, “I’ve found some scientists that made some incorrect predictions in the mid ‘60s and early ‘70s.”

Maybe his rationale is, since some scientists’ projections didn’t come true, you can’t believe any scientists.

It’s ironic his commentary appeared the same day that the U.N. reported that climate change is happening much faster than climate model predictions.

Gee, guess we should just ignore climate disruption events that have happened over the past few years and reject climate disruption because the scientific models were incorrect about the timing.

On Sept. 27, the PDN carried a letter (“Responsible for evil”) where the writer is depressed because students are protesting about the future climate they will be inheriting.

Then claims that “global warming” didn’t exist before computer modeling and our schools are producing “ideological stooges.”

Maybe it’s because they are taught to read and possibly observe things going on in the world around them.

This makes me wonder if some people just live in a bubble and don’t read, hear or see what is happening around them.

Oh well, guess it’s good to know who to blame.

We all need to have a “boogey man” or women to blame things on.

I don’t know about you, but I see mine every day when I get up and look in the mirror!
