Charles Krauthammer believes climate change is a mere superstition, just like the “rain dance of Native Americans.”
Appearing Tuesday on Fox News’ “Special Report,” the conservative pundit rejected the consensus of between 97 and 98 percent of scientists who believe climate change is real and is fueled by human activity.
“It’s always a result of what is ultimately what we’re talking about here, human sin with pollution of carbon,” Krauthammer said. “It’s the oldest superstition around. It was in the Old Testament, it’s in the rain dance of Native Americans — if you sin, the skies will not cooperate.”
Krauthammer further shed doubt on the White House’s newly released climate change assessment by arguing that climate science is too unstable to predict weekend weather forecasts, let alone global trends several decades out.
“Ninety-nine percent of physicists were convinced that space and time are fixed, until Einstein working in a patent office wrote a paper in which he showed that they are not,” he said. “I’m not impressed by numbers, I’m not impressed by consensus.”
“These are things that people negotiate the way that you would negotiate a bill, because the science is unstable,” he added. “Because in the case of climate, the models are changeable and because climate is so complicated, the idea that we who have trouble forecasting what’s going to happen on Saturday in the climate could pretend to be predicting what could happen in 30, 40 years is absurd.”

This guy (and I use the term loosely) should replace or get glasses’ and I mean that figuratively and literally.
Permian-Triassac Extinction! If you don’t know what it was, don’t know what caused it or if you just believe it never happened because the Earth is only 6000 years old, you’re not entitled to open your gob on this subject.
It’s the oldest superstition around. It was in the Old Testament, it’s in the rain dance of Native Americans – if you sin, the skies will not cooperate
Sooooo… you’re saying the Old Testament is superstition? I’m sure that’ll fly well with your base.
Or “supply side economics”.
I’m pretty sure that the only reason this wrinked colostomy bag is actually still alive is due to science. But now he’s opposed to it?
And Kraut Hammer has formed his conclusion after many years of studying the research, the metrics, and interviewing the experts. He has absolutely positively done his ‘due diligence’ before reaching this comparison to a ‘rain dance’. I think your IQ must be less that 70 to take anything this professional clown says, seriously. He is the poster child for cretinous imbeciles.
