Climate change, facts and misinformation

| May 24, 2022 1:00 AM

Although Jack DeBaun is consistently wrong, at least he is consistent.

In his letter of March 31, he cites several examples of junk science which he properly claims defy common sense. Indeed they do. That is because they are junk science. The idea that an electron can be in two different places at the same time is preposterous and has been soundly debunked by Heisenberg’s Principle. The idea that time travels slower in outer space is total idiocy, just as the notion that measuring sticks are shorter when moving faster. Complete nonsense. The reason these notions defy common sense is because they are complete nonsense.

Not only that, but Jack gives these citations as scientific facts even though he has claimed several times that “science doesn’t prove anything.” If science doesn’t prove anything, then it doesn’t prove what Jack is saying, therefore we should not believe him. Jack sunk his own ship a long time ago but doesn’t have enough grace to admit that his beliefs are adrift in an ocean of misinformation.

DeBaun also misuses the rules of logic for his own socialist agenda. He consistently breaks the rules, such as the law of noncontradiction, ad homonym, etc. as it suits his goals, and incorrectly sites other rules as taught by his Australian cartoonist mentor, John Cook. DeBaun is a pseudo-intellectual with a political motive. How interesting that he popped into the Bonner County scene as soon as communist letter writer Bob Wynhausen moved to Oregon to support Antifa.
