They discover it can be joyful and painful, and that it isn't permanent. Love Choice becomes an issue when it is revealed that love objects sometimes think they have the right not to participate. Sweeping legislation to control love is called for, with burdensome taxes on types of love that don't meet Al Toad's criteria. Crisis looms when they discover that some men and women are unfaithful in love, and that it can cause rage in humans. A doctorate in hunger. They discover that all creatures experience it, and that many people like to eat. Eater Barons are discovered who consume many times normal. Tree rings dating back thousands of years appear to have teeth marks on them, which demonstrate that Eater Barons have existed for centuries. Redistribution of eating is the obvious answer. Catastrophe looms when it's revealed that if food disappears, lots of people will die. A doctorate in breathing. They discover that breathing is critical to life. Angst occurs when it's discovered that some breathers are selfishly breathing more than others. Redistribution of breathing is suggested. Every human will have to carry a card that tracks how many breaths each of us has taken. Crisis looms when sophisticated breathing models reveal that lack of breathing causes death. This is demonstrated going all the way back to the Ice Ages, which is the suspected inception of breathing. A doctorate in the study of love.

That's the telling part though. A niche of the bigger field of climate study. People have made careers out of that niche and therefore must protect their "life's work" and that sets up the panic mode for appearing legitimate. The brain short-circuits when it realizes that their life-work is a crock..a sham....a wet paper sack that the coffee is now dripping out of and staining the carpet. What to do? In Clinton-esque fashion...they scream louder so the opposition is not heard. Then keep saying to themselves "it's real, it's real, it's real". I remember doing that when I wanted something for Christmas that was absurdly expensive and I would close my eyes and wish as hard as I could. Well, the absurdly expensive thing didn't ever materialize under the tree and neither will the "deniers" go away. Truth has that funny habit of happening regardless of wants or desires. When one volcano puts out more greenhouse gasses in one eruption than mankind has in its entire existence and there is no consequent catastrophic climate shift, well, I'm afraid I have to remain just a touch skeptical. And that skepticism is now just flat out disgust accompanied by clear denial that anything anyone wants to tell me about melting glaciers, homeless polar bears, and NYC under 50 feet of water. Well, the part about NYC might be a good thing. But sadly, so many hippie academics have built an entire career on crap science, they now have to admit it and well, looks like the chips are down for that particular group. What’s so funny is the references to it being a legitimate field of study. That’s the telling part though. A niche of the bigger field of climate study. People have made careers out of that niche and therefore must protect their “life’s work” and that sets up the panic mode for appearing legitimate.

It will do that. “Climate Change”….well, they got that part right. It will do that.
