My great uncle Abraham Lincoln Phillips was born in Petaluma California in the late 1870s.  Sometime in his 20’s uncle Abe, whom we called A.L, became a Christian Scientist.  As he explained, “Science is very successful.”  

He remained a Christian Scientist faithful until he was 92 when he had prostate surgery. 

I bring this up because I never cease wondering how more than a billion people worldwide can believe in Human Caused Global Warming and the consequent Armeggedon.  After all, the temperature of the surface of the earth is 57.4 F today as it was in 1950.

I think the reason may be the same. ‘Science is very successful,’ and the billions who believe in the Global Warming thesis are terribly impressed with the incredible products of science they see in the world around them.

That is how I explain this mass hypnosis.

People who have been reading this blog for years know that I took a class at the U. of Chicago from Niels Bohr, who taught that the history of science was the history of people explaining the physics behind the series of constants being discovered by engineers and technologists.  It is really the engineers and technologists to whom we are indebted for the miracles of the modern world.
