Seattle Times Ignores Gubernatorial Climate Warming Denier Candidacy

The recent Seattle Times decision to cite Thomas Jefferson support for “free press” epitomizes the paper.  It was Jefferson who said, “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to the truth”.

That advice surely applies to years of Seattle Times slavish support for Sound Transit’s Prop 1 and ST3 “Beyond Prop 1” light rail extensions.  Without that support Sound Transit would have likely failed to garner the votes needed to spend billions on the biggest transportation boondoggle in history.  It’s only a question of whether it's Northgate operation in 2021 or East Link in 2023 that demonstrate that reality.

The Seattle Times decision to ignore my 2020 Climate Change Denier exemplifies their decision to persist with belittling all my candidacies, even ignoring one claiming fossil fuel emissions are not an existential threat to the planet’s survival.    While I came in 3^rd out of 11 candidates for governor in 2016 they continue to ignore several emails announcing my intent to file in 2020.  While they’ve published articles concerning candidates for lieutenant governor it’s likely most voters won’t learn about my Global Warming Denier gubernatorial candidacy until the Candidate’s Statement in the Voters’ Pamphlet”.

One would think a paper heralding itself as the “Winner of 10 Pulitzers” would welcome the opportunity to tell the world that the current increase in global temperatures is due to increasing energy from the Sun. (Like hundreds of warming cycles over countless past millenniums.)  That increased global temperature is increasing CO2 out gassing from ocean surface.  That increasing global temperature is the reason for increased CO2 in atmosphere not the result.

The most obvious indication the Sun, not fossil fuel emission, is driving CO2 levels in atmosphere is that a 70% increase in fossil fuel emissions between 1990 and 2017 has not changed the rate CO2 in atmosphere increased from that from1970 to 1990 before the increase  

That climatologists’ claims the fossil fuel emissions have 10 times the impact on global temperatures as the Sun are debunked by the fact the rate that global temperature also increased with the 70% fossil fuel emissions the same as before. 

Large areas of the country have already been devastated by the purported need to replace coal power with far more expensive and less reliable solar panels and windmills.  Oil and gas fracking to increase fuel supply and pipelines to supply users continue to be opposed.  Increasing car mileage standards and battery power continue to add to attempts to reduce CO2 emissions.  However, those efforts pale in comparison to the futility of plans to spend trillions implementing the "Green New Deal"  despite the fact China already emits twice US fossil emissions and plans to continue increasing until 2030.

If the Times wants to garner support for the press they could begin by being part of ending this debacle rather than continuing to abide it.
