Trust eclipse scientists and not health scientists? Lefty response

"Physics is accurate so why don't you trust behavior science and pharmacology and meteorology."
Liberals are retarded.
Eclipse predictions are pure math.
Climate change "projections" are entirely dependent on whatever conjecture a "scientist" happens to put into the model. But a midwit doesn't have the capacity to distinguish between these two things.
Nah mate. It's money and corruption.
There's definitely some idiots in those fields, but that field is run by money and corruption.
Punching in a bunch of data and then running a simulation is famously prone to error magnification.
When the predictions are accurate, people have reason to believe.
Didn't cloud covering block a huge swathe of the eclipse's path? Why didn't they tell people it would be cloudy?
If an eclipse happens in Seattle, would we even notice?
If we nuked Portland would anyone notice?
How do you know it hasn't?
Because I didn't manage to get enough yellow cake yet to make the damn thing.
I'm fairly certain Portland has streets that don't actually exist. Every time I took the max I saw streets that shouldn't be there.
People downwind might notice a change in smell.
The air would be cleaner?
You should be more worried about what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs
I mean, I'll say it again...
Yes, it was the cloudiest day I had seen in months right in the path of totality here
it was cool how it went to night for a couple minutes and then back to day. i would have preferred no clouds though.
Maybe because none of the climate change "scientists" predictions of the last several decades have come true? Just a guess.
It's a reverse Pascal's Wager.
If you believe the eclipsologists, and they're wrong, you spent money to go on a vacation to Mexico or Niagara Falls or something, I think those were the big two. You probably had a great time, and the spending wasn't any different from a usual vacation, it just dictated where you'd go, not if you'd go. And of course, if they're right, you ALSO get a cool lightshow. If you don't believe them, either way, nothing happens except maybe you get startled for a few minutes if you happen to actually be in the totality path.
If you believe the climatologists, you MUST commit genocide. Earth is overpopulated, and only by killing the approximate entire populations of China and India can Earth be saved, and the timer to do it is far, FAR shorter than letting them die naturally. If they're wrong, you've killed BILLIONS. If they're right, YOU'VE STILL KILLED BILLIONS!
If you don't believe the climatologists... If they're wrong, you save money on everything you buy, and have a very good life. If they're right, then someone else, not you, three lifetimes after you die, will feel like moving to Canada because its climate is now nicer to live in than yours in Texas, while you STILL save money on everything you buy and have a higher standard of living. And of course, in both cases, you don't need to massacre billions of people.
but specifically european diaspora, not the chinese or indians
Because the solar eclipse has no political implications, they have no reason to lie. There's nothing to be gained.
Also, the math behind predicting eclipses isn't all that fancy, the ancient Mayans were already doing it about as well as we're doing it today. You can do it yourself if you want.
If astronomers were wrong for 50 straight years we wouldn't trust them either.
No scientist or politician insists I must make all sorts of sacrifices and pay thousands extra in taxes to "fight Solar Change", nor tell me when the 3 minutes dim is over that "it would have been so much worse without our Eclipse Lockdown".
That's why I don't trust Climate Cultists and Branch Covidians.
Inb4 Mayan resurgence brings back solar sacrifices.
Because some "Scientists" are taking kickbacks from drug companies to parrot out their propaganda.
Nobody gains political power and money from the eclipse.
Because eclipses predictions were always accurate, sometimes to the exact minute or even second it will happen, and you can physically confirm they are right. Out of the dozens or hundreds of climate "prediction", we can physically confirm none of them has been true so far, not even close.
Correctly predicting an eclipse makes money, since people will travel far to see it and buy special glasses and such. There's no money in incorrectly predicting an eclipse, so even corrupted people will have to make correct predictions. Having someone stay healthy brings no money to the pharma industry. Having someone stay unhealthy for as long as possible, makes pharma very rich, so corrupted people have an incentive to keep people sick in any way.
Eclipse calculations are reproduceable...
You mean people are more likely to trust the one that has a destination, a clear start and end, and something you can actually go and FUCKING see?
Instead of some nebulous, unquantifiable shit we need to do 'because we said so'?
Fuck off. Just fucking die and fuck off.
Human beings have been able to accurately predict eclipses for over two thousand years. We still can't accurately predict the weather a week in advance.
there are so many variables that go into calculating even the weather for next day most forecasts are still wrong
yet somehow being able to calculate where the climate will head over the course of decades is possible according to this guy
ok
