Project 2025's Corruption of Weather Science
And how it could be Christian Nationalist. (Scroll to the end to listen.)
Yesterday, we vented about how Project 2025 will dissolve the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in response to Sharpie-gate. (Read here.)
Today, we inspect Project 2025’s wording as it involves weather science. Because they’re serious when they tell us nobody who believes in climate change will have a government job.
Ensure Appointees Agree with Administration Aims. Scientific agencies like NOAA are vulnerable to obstructionism of an Administration’s aims if political appointees are not wholly in sync with Administration policy. Particular attention must be paid to appointments in this area.
Project 2025, page 677
Definitions of the word obstructionism when used by Project 2025’s framers:
Woke liberals
Actual scientists with experience, training and expertise
Scientists who back up their findings with scientific data and won’t alter those results at the whim of a president or political party
Anyone who may say no
Anyone who has ever said no
Anyone who believes in climate change
Let’s read Project 2025’s own words of loathing for those who believe in climate change:
“Cheap grace” aptly describes the Left’s love affair with environmental extrem-ism. Those who suffer most from the policies environmentalism would have us enact are the aged, poor, and vulnerable. It is not a political cause, but a pseudo-religion meant to baptize liberals’ ruthless pursuit of absolute power in the holy water of environmental virtue.
At its very heart, environmental extremism is decidedly anti-human. Stew-ardship and conservation are supplanted by population control and economic regression. Environmental ideologues would ban the fuels that run almost all of the world’s cars, planes, factories, farms, and electricity grids. Abandoning confidence in human resilience and creativity in responding to the challenges of the future would raise impediments to the most meaningful human activities. They would stand human affairs on their head, regarding human activity itself as fundamentally a threat to be sacrificed to the god of nature.
Project 2025, page 11
Now let’s examine the phrase abandoning confidence in human resilience and creativity in responding to the challenges of the future. How could that language possibly be Christo-fascist?
Christian Nationalists believe God is the only one who can destroy the earth. On Monday, we covered what they believe about the end of the world. It leaves no room for human-generated climate change.
They call climate science a pseudo-religion above because they believe it elevates the actions of humans above the supreme will of God…which is for God to destroy the earth as their Bibles promise. Humans should never be arrogant enough to think they could usurp the predicted actions of the One True God.
Yes, this document is also partly financed by oil industry money. But it is a mistake to discount the role Christian Nationalists played in crafting this language.
They will not rest until they gut agencies like NOAA of anyone who believes in climate change, and they will replace experienced scientists with Christian Nationalists like themselves.
What could this mean for YOU?
Science will become corrupted by Christian Nationalists’ insistence on the teaching of creation and their beliefs about the end of the world.
Scientific research will stall, especially on climate-related matters.
The earth will continue to warm whether Christian Nationalists believe it's happening or not, leading to devastating consequences for coastal communities around the United States.
Many Americans could lose their homes and businesses as they relax into Republicans’ ‘head in the sand’ climate denialism. We always love hearing what we want to hear, right?
Proactive federal funding for protections against sea level rise could dry up. States and localities could never fund something like a levee or sea wall without federal money.
We may not be able to rely on accurate weather predictions. (I know. I know. Many insist we can’t now.)
Andra - as I read your articles every day on Project 2025, it gets me thinking on all these other topics that impact humanity ..... I do realize that I'm not at an A La Carte Cafe where I can order any particular article from you on demand ( lol)..... so please don't think that when I ask off topic questions. 😊
I'm very interested in what project 2025 has to say (future article from you) about: the pharmaceutical industry/ big pharma - and mental health issues. I presume the Christian nationalist do not believe in mental health issues ( like bipolar and schizophrenia) they likely think it is due to negative attachments & demonic possession that require only Deliverance.
It's always frustrating when they say things that sound good but they mean something very different by them. The whole point of environmentalism is so that we can continue to live on the planet. Duh. That's hardly anti-human. I suppose there are some who practice environmentalism in a misanthropic way, but as usual they paint their opponents in the least favorable way possible, so they can use straw man arguments. If anything is anti-human, I could think of nothing more so than putting a god over all of us, to disregard all of our own wants and needs, our own fulfillment. Of course that's the whole point to them, but it's strikingly anti-human. As usual, they tell on themselves by being afflicted with whatever they criticize, and it's always projection.
