The Right’s New Rallying Cry in Finland: ‘Climate Hysteria’

Right-wing governments are not good. What else was not good where scientists go after you for saying that the warming of the Earth is caused only by man. That's the narrative. Both sides agree that the Earth is warming but the progressive scientists don't want to hear your alternate hypothesis in fact they don't want to hear any hypothesis that all. You are going against the politburo of groupthink and they don't want you to even discuss alternate views at all! That's a problem with climate science is that it's become political science and those, like Dr. Judith Curry who debate the majority and she is called a heretic or climate denier. Had she not had 10 year, she would have been fired from her position. What kind of open, objectives science is that?

We don't need Knuckleheads in Finland and we don't need Knuckleheads in climate science either.

I've been reading about ecology for decades. I've always been interested in science as well as various religions. In general people are slow to change opinions. I already believed in global warming when in 2013 I visited three south Pacific countries on the Navy ship USS Pearl Harbor as a Project Hope nurse volunteer. There was also a dentist aboard who had lived for a few years in the Kiribati. On coming back she noticed the water level was higher. It'e been in the news - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2015/mar/11/climate-change-in-the-marshall-islands-and-kiribati-before-and-after-interactive
In 2014-2015 I spent the winter in a year on eastern tip of Nova Scotia, where there is sea ice between there and Newfoundland all winter solid with now some breaks in the ice mid afternoon on warm winter days. Locals told me it was much thicker when they were young. I found Canadian satellite images of historical changes in ice.
I won't go into the science about what humans are doing, it would take too long.Lots of changes are hastening the change in climate from year to year, though it varies with region. Last November I was in eastern Burma, where massive landslides had ruined most access roads into the capital of Chin State, Hakha, and many neighborhoods of Hakha were relocated higher on a mountain. They were caused by much worse monsoon rains than there used to be.
Mosquitos that carry malaria and dengue are spreading north into Europe, Texas and Florida that were not there before. Interesting to me- I caught dengue in Thailand, and had a relapse in France.
Some insects will benefit, others are dying out, lots of them.

My work as a healthcare provider in the South Pacific, Vietnam, Burma, India, Nepal, everywhere is going to change in the future - and these poor countries already have loads of problems. I want to warn them about what they can do now, and they are not the ones that created problem for the most part. There are too many billion people to make it an easy problem to deal with.. Climate has always changed, but we are in a warming period, and it is ACCELERATING. Let's not ridicule each other when we disagree, but cooperate and do what we can.
With respect to all.

Debate is critical in science. And it is critical in politics as well. Debate, not threats or shouting matches on both sides of issues
