The Sky Is Falling?

To the junk scientists who feed off of fear, particularly those "Doomsday Clock" guys: You're so phony that the more level-headed thinkers have been on to you for ages.

The Romans said, Astra non mentiuntur, sed astrologi bene mentiuntur de astris ("The stars never lie, but astrologers lie about the stars").

And that's all that you guys are, astrologers. You look at real things (e.g. stars, weather patterns, etc.), and pretend to foresee portents of doom. It makes you feel wise and important when so many duck and cover at your beck and call.

But you're not important. Your ability to frighten the masses makes you powerful (especially in places of universal suffrage), but for all of your power you are shallow, pathetic beings.

There were once many (and still are a few) people who knew that science is rooted in the Latin word for knowledge: the kind of knowledge based upon observable facts and without traces of bias or speculation.

I am not afraid. In my best Englishman mocking a Frenchman accent, "I fart in your general direction!"
