Galactic Hero

This is a plan I have devised and used for over 6 years. It involves:

No calorie counting
No special foods
No special exercise regimen

I have studied at Cambridge, London, Caltech and Calgary. None of these studies were in Nutrition, but all were in Physics. If Al Gore can talk about Climate Change, I can talk about diet.

The Principles for the “Galactic Diet” are:

Peter Drucker’s statement “You can’t manage what you don’t measure”.
Losing weight is a simple energy balance – energy in is less than energy expended
Reduce energy in by reducing quantities eaten/drunk
Increase energy out by increased exercise

It is frequently quoted, that the “Science is Settled” when it comes to climate change. However, the nature of science is that it is never really settled – with good science, each question that is answered leads to three or more new questions. It is perhaps more accurate to say “the Politics is Settled”. As skeptics ruefully acknowledge, they may be winning the skirmishes, but the alarmists are winning the war.

Some examples of intellectual dishonesty from the climate change propagandists are:

Changing the name from “anthropogenic global warming” (AGW) to “climate change”
Cherry picking weather events as evidence of AGW
Changing criteria for claims of global warming
Predictions that don’t materialize swept under the carpet
Computer models used for predictions which don’t match the historical data
Using animal population changes as evidence of global warming

With Climate Change, there are four related, but separate questions, each of which will be addressed in future blogs:

Is the earth’s temperature rising?
Is the change in temperature man-made?
Are the consequences of climate change harmful to humanity?
What should be done to avoid ill-effects?

The “dishonesty” claimed in the title is clear in the climate change propagandists rather than the scientists. The propagandists include:

the media
celebrities
politicians
“environmentalists”
