I just watched the James Randi documentary for the second time. Randi is a magician and escapologist who has performed for over 60 years.

In the 1980's he was appalled by the number of psychics who were fleecing the public with faith healing and fortune telling. He set out to expose them and made himslef very unpopular with a 100% record of exposing fraud putting many lucrative careers out of business.

He particularly loathed Uri Geller and famously set him up to fail his psychic tests live on the Johnny Carson show. Geller failed miserably and the show ended in chaos as Geller advised Carson that "He wasn't feeling it tonight" so he couldn't go on.

Geller went on to receive substantial funds from the American psychic research facility who then announced he was the genuine article. Scientists subjected him to rigorous testing and Geller passed them all.

An extemely pissed off Randi then infiltrated the organisation and trained two young magicians to perform all the Geller tricks. They were tested and tested by scientists who also pronounced them as genuine psychics.

Randi exposed the fraud on national TV but, rather than admit they had been fooled, they took the Geller line that Randi too was a mystic but didn't realise it.

The whole point of this post is how similar it seems to the modern religion of man made climate change. Scientists have made up their minds and nothing short of a milenium long ice age will change this.

It seems, the higher the IQ, the easier it is to fool people.
