The Climate Crisis was Christopher Columbus’s fault — “a mutant offspring of European Scientific racism”

History, Columbus, USA.

By Jo Nova

Forget the carbon credits and solar panels, the root cause of climate change is Caribbean slavery.

If only Christopher Columbus hadn’t discovered America, the Little Ice Age would never have ended! (Just one more thing to thank him for).

This new (old) rehash of White Guilt is so dark, we wonder why the author, Tao Leigh Goffe, chooses to live in the evil empire of the capitalist US. Shouldn’t she boycott it, and move to a place that never had slavery, like Antarctica?  For a woman who claims the world is boiling today because of of the dark inhuman laboratory of experiments, it does seem incongruous that she supports the same institutions that grew from ..as she puts it …Columbus’s travesty.

She decries European scientific colonialism and a “scientific method rooted in eugenics and racism”,  yet she probably wrote her book on a computer with silicon chips, and works at City University, New York, surely an institutional product of that same ghastly colonialism? She got her PhD at Yale. Is there no moral limit to her hypocrisy?

Wait til she finds out the theory of climate change, which her career depends on, mutated out of the same scientific method which she says is rooted in racism and denigrates black and indigenous forms of science? I mean, which is it? Somehow white science is nonsense, but climate change is real?

If ever we needed a reason to stop funding academia, to just say “No”, this study would be it. The hypocrisy, the self-contradictory internally inconsistent, attention seeking and incoherent non-research, pretty much encapsulate everything that is unworthy in academia. And we can get more of the same for free from any AI, except it would make more sense. Her book “Dark Laboratory” is one of the few books that may have already crossed the too-bad-to-be-AI line.

And where are all those climate scientist champions of science, now?

Here’s an anti-science academic seeking fame and glory while trashing science. So where are you, O Defenders of University consensuses and experts?

This woman is damaging all of academia — and they won’t even stand up and tell her that slavery doesn’t correlate well with Global Warming.

All parts of The Blob defend the rest of The Blob. Climate science is just another part of the same anti-Western, collectivist, parasitic Blob.

Dark Laboratory: groundbreaking book argues climate crisis was sparked by colonisation

Dark Laboratory, Slavery and Climate changeThe Guardian

Tao Leigh Goffe argues climate breakdown is the mutant offspring of European scientific racism and colonialism

But Tao Leigh Goffe, an associate professor of Africana, Puerto Rican and Latino Studies at the City University of New York, wants us to visualise a far more specific cause: the shunting of a ship’s prow on to the sandbank of a paradise island in 1492.

In Dark Laboratory, her groundbreaking new book, Goffe argues that it was the colonization of the Americas by Christopher Columbus that set off the chain of events that has led us to where we stand today, on the precipice of global catastrophe.

Historians and scientists will be surprised to hear that capitalism, monocrop agriculture, and land clearing was invented in Jamaica…

It was there [in the Carribbean] that enslaving farmers first formulated the structures of modern capitalism, alongside a scientific method rooted in eugenics and racism that privileged the status of white men while denigrating Black and Indigenous forms of science.

Such experiments included the creation of monocrop agriculture, the clearing of terrestrial and marine ecosystems making territories vulnerable to extreme weather, the categorisation of wildlife along lines of superficial characteristics and the now equally discredited categorisation of different races along similar lines.

We must, she argues, “connect the dots between the brutal system of chattel slavery and the degradation of the natural environment … The worlds Europeans built depended on making the lives of some disposable.”

Perhaps we should connect the dots between narcissistic academics and the tax slaves forced to fund them today? Call it modern slavery. The lives of the working class serfs who fund Tao Leigh Goffe seem pretty disposable to her.

At least they didn’t waste money on the book cover.

      All credit to miss, ms, mrs, he, she, it Goffe. It takes imagination on the scale of a Roald Dahl, a J.R.R. Tolkien, an Enid Blyton and a Beatrix Potter to come up with such a fantastic fairly tale. Worthy of the brothers Grimm no less. Let’s hope that it is filed in the appropriate sections of libraries – science fantasy and science fiction.

      Unbelievable drivel is the coin of the realm in academia.

      It’s the mana that makes it rain (funding from research grants).

      It’s the product that they sell to their consumers for outrageous prices. For the low, low price of a quarter million dollars in student loans, you too can learn to speak nonsense and use a whole lot of words to say nothing of importance.

      As depicted in the film ‘A Man Called Horse’, starring Richard Harris, 1970, slavery was very much de rigueur in pre/post-columbian America.
      Ol’ whitey was often the victim and not the oppressor and the locals needed no instruction. Again, the ‘noble savage’ meme gets rather tedious.

        Trump has asked Australian universities to justify US dollars being spent on Australian researchers. Perhaps he should ask US universities how they spend their grant money. There would be zero connection between professor Goffe’s pages of “Quilton” and Making America Great. Indeed the opposite is probably true.

    When in earth’s geological or human history was the climate NOT naturally changing?

    Even in recorded history we had the Minoan, Egyptian, Roman and Medieval warm periods when Civilisation thrived, and cold periods when there was poverty, war and disease.

    The climate always changes. As does the level of atmospheric CO2 which also fluctuates.

    Unfortunately warmists have an Aristotlean view of the world with the view that the world is static and unchanging and do not understand how external factors such as solar output (the Sun being a variable star), vulcanism, orbital changes, Milankovich cycles, tectonic activity, cosmic rays and other things constantly alter weather and/or climate.

      Yep

      Without the ‘climate change’ around 10K-12K years ago that flooded the English Channel, Britain would not exist as an island. Imagine how differently British history would have played out without a ‘moat’ (The English channel) protected by ‘wooden walls’ (the English Navy) between Great Britain and the continent. Napoleon could have just marched to London. Ditto for Hitler.

      Same goes for the Americas, where the flooding of the Bering land bridge to isolate the New World had a massive impact on the development (or lack thereof) of indigenous Americans. Would the Americas have developed on the same timeline as China as Chinese migrants swarmed across Beringia for 10K years? Imagine the Conquistadors landing in the New World only to find a bunch of Chinamen/Mongolians armed with guns and cannons sitting behind great walls?

      Climate change is neither good nor bad. It just is. It’s a reality that Earth’s inhabitants have to deal with, and hairless apes have shown a great ability to adapt to changing conditions.

      Fitzy,
      From an economic viewpoint, you obviously have no idea about economics. The colonial expansion of the Europeans across the new world led to not only an expansion in wealth, technology, resources and knowledge/awareness of the planet we live on but also an explosive expansion in standard of living, quality of life, modern medicine and healthcare, and purpose in life for many millions of people of European origin. This explosive growth in prosperity, free movement of people with choices of where to live, how to live and, of course, knowledge allowed the development of democracy firstly in Britain and America and then Europe and the rest of the world. Those benefits continued to spread across the globe to benefit all of its people.

      So, do you want to go back to how life was before colonization when life was short, mean and restricted? When 1 in 4 women died in childbirth and even a short famine (crop failure) meant many people starved to death? I guess you do, since that’s what the Greens appear to want for us.

      260

        Peter Fitzroy

        That European expansion, resulted in wealth being accumulated in European and “technology, resources and knowledge/awareness of the planet we live on but also an explosive expansion in standard of living, quality of life, modern medicine and healthcare, and purpose in life for many millions of people of European origin.” But if you are not European, you ended up with a lower standard of living etc etc. look at Africa, South America, Asia and India.

        But the main point is that you take resources for little cost (land, slaves and other resources) you then force those areas to produce stuffs that the europeans wanted tobacco, tea, sugar etc. In addition, you dump the waste back into the environment for free.

        So you have cheap land, cheap labour and market for the finished goods. Look at sugar production, or cotton production. The result is that you degrade the land you have appropriated, you emmiserate millions of non whites, and generate tonnes of waste (try reading any story about life during the industrialisation of Europe and America)

          Peter,
          You are such a twisted soul. In reality, life for the vast majority of Europeans and Americans was hard work, marked by pestilence and bad dental hygiene, poverty and an early death for most, until the Industrial Revolution.

          It was the invention of engines of all sorts, powered by fossil fuels that sparked the most significant change in the human condition ever seen. Life expectancy doubled as modern medicine filtered to all parts of the globe. Hunger and malnutrition have sunk to their lowest levels ever, easing the ravages caused to crops by storms, floods and droughts. And wealth has exploded beyond anything imaginable even 170 years ago!

          And as an incidental factor, Britain banned slavery in the early 1800s, and the American Civil War stopped it in the mid 1800s. Of course, neither country invented slavery, and it is always entertaining to point out that Africans were the ones who were responsible for maintaining the supply of slaves for the slave trade for centuries..

          But let’s not try for historical accuracy when you are grinding an axe!

          Do you do any research at all?

          Here’s a very easy to find page, with some easy to read charts, covering more than a century.

          https://www.cedocim.org/health/life-expectancy-charts

          That’s life expectancy, not the entire picture with respect to quality of life but easier to enjoy life when you are not dead … hopefully everyone agrees on the basics.

          All sorts of different nations are shown in the chart and life expectancy is clearly trending up. This includes India and Ethiopia (that’s in Africa, did you know that?) with the USA near the top for most of the time.

          Then they show a very obvious correlation between economic development and life expectancy. They spell it out: “To make it short: in the long term, GDP growth is the only means of massively saving human lives, and it will necessarily lead to people living longer.”

          The fact that you struggle with this, means you are so totally unqualified and clueless regarding all matters economic. You literally have no idea.

          I get it, that there’s places like Saudi Arabia where distribution is unequal and therefore not everyone benefits … but rich people can only extend their lives to some extent … it would be impossible for the average to keep moving upwards based only on the top 1%.

          And yes … as others have tried to get through to you … slavery was an ancient tradition, going back into every part of the world. It was Western Christians who resolved to stamp it out … not with perfect success, you can still find forced labour with the Uighurs in China or places like Libya … but things are better than before.

    From the first Humans until 1770 life was brutal and short and life expectancy of about 29 years and nearly every person lived in poverty. This was for 99.9% of Human existence or about the last 300 K years.
    After the UK started the industrial revolution Human flourishing changed the world and in the last 0.1% of time life expectancy has increased to 73 years and wealth and health have boomed.
    Population in 1800 was about 1 billion and nearly everyone was poor and sick, but today even our poorest African continent has seen an amazing change since 1950.
    Life expectancy has increased from about 37 years in 1950 to 64 years today and yet the population has increased from 227 million to 1490 million in 2024 or an increase of 1260 million in just the last 75 years.
    These are the facts about the last 0.1% of Human existence and yet left wing loonies couldn’t care less about the data. Why is it so?

        The Aztecs were bloodthirsty, cruel and are thought to have sacrificed about 20,000 people per year to the climate gods.

        In Once Great Britain alone:

        https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1173232/

        Some studies have suggested that as many as 50,000 people die annually because they cannot afford to heat their homes properly.

          Liberals love whining about western civilization spreading Christianity at the end of a gun, but it was largely the spread Christianity/monotheism that put an end to such depraved pagan practices as human sacrifice and cannibalism across the world. People forget that many European cultures also practiced such atrocities before Christ. Indigenous British tribes (pre Anglo-Saxon) practiced human sacrifice until the Romans showed up and brought Christianity with them (along with their own version of paganism). Vikings were still doing human sacrifices to their pagan Gods when they first began raiding the rest of Europe, but after a few hundred years of intermingling with Christians the practice stopped. The only difference between European civilizations and ‘indigenous’ civilizations in the far flung colonies is that Europeans had a a 1500 year head start with Christian morality.

          Damn those Christians for ruining the beautiful culture of noble savages around the world.

    this poor victim of Caucasian-Caused Climate Confusion, born to Jamaican-Chinese parents in London then educated in the USA, has friends in high places: one of her many grants includes the US$2,000,000 from the Mellon Foundation – that Northern Irish / Scottish Presbyterian clan of immigrants to the U.S. who made their fortune from banking, oil, coal, steel, alumina and ultimately politricks – though as others have noted, as a millionairess she could have employed a half-decent proofreader. From her own website:

    “Dr Goffe is at also at work on books on topics including Black feminist DJ technology … had short stints at the United Nations, on Wall Street … is a fellow of the Linnaean Society [and also enjoys] discussions at the Council on Foreign Relations”.

    With friends and associates like these – she also writes cookbooks and performs live culinary shows with a twist of artistic license – it’s clear as mud her life has been a tragedy from whoah-to-go because… some Catholic privateer ran aground during a hurricane in the Caribbean back in the 1500s.

      Not at all David, we all know this was called “caring for the environment” and living in ” harmony with nature”. Along with endless wars over territory and females. The Noble savage could do no wrong.
      Why were so many ancient peoples nomadic? Well one reason was the DEPLETION of the available food sources to the point of starvation, or move.
      Also the myth that native peoples only took what was needed from their environment and nothing was wasted, yet an observation by some fur trappers and traders in the Americas noted that large numbers of animals were slaughtered by the natives and the only parts taken were those considered delicacies such as tongues and brains.

    The very fast improvement in Human life expectancy since 1950 is amazing.
    In 1950 life expectancy was about 45.5 years but today the UN thinks life expectancy in 2025 is about 73.5 years. See UN data at the link.
    But Human population has also increased by 5.6 billion since 1950 and yet everyone is much healthier and wealthier today.
    Even though we had the devastation of two world wars up to 1950 our Human flourishing in the last 75 years is mind boggling.
    BTW fossil fuels have provided most of our energy over that 75 year window of opportunity.
    So why would we vote for any groups that try to tell us we must ditch our BASELOAD fossil fuels for the lunacy of expensive, toxic , unreliable W & S + batteries?
    Have we really lost the ability to think?

    A thought bubble..

    Life on this planet up until the early 1800’s was essentially transactional. European, African, Chinese and Japanese (plus many other tribes) fought for territory, riches and survival. Slavery was common – spoils of conflict or a commodity to trade.

    Then came the social changes where colonisation and slavery were discouraged and a social conscience developed – Victorian England and the US civil war as examples.

    Now it appears that we are heading back to a transactional life – back to the future. Now might is right again.

    Changeable weather is irrelevant – many bigger problems to attend to.

        I doubt that.

        The first slave was probably some caveman in Africa before the human diaspora moved out of the dark continent. I’d wager the first enslavement happened almost immediately after man evolved from ape. Big strong caveman no like work. Big strong caveman would rather have sexy time with cave babe, so big strong caveman bonks weaker caveman with club until he does work for him.

        Descendants of Ham, son of Noah, were cursed; see:
        [from Duck Assist] –
        The Tribe of Ham, specifically the descendants of Ham’s son Canaan, was said to be cursed to slavery according to the biblical narrative in Genesis. This interpretation has historically been misused to justify the enslavement of African people, although many modern scholars reject this view as a distortion of the original text.

          There was a LOT of cursing going on in those days – whether inbreeding contributed to that, crop diseases or bad water or short tempers, I’m no doctor of science.

          So the prudish Shem & Japheth wanted to CENSOR and BLOCK their father’s inebriation from the family, while Ham was inquisitive as to his health, yet Ham gets the pig’s bone pointed at him?

          Then a few generations on, a motley crew from “east of Ur” decided they deserved the land of milk and honey, otherwise known as the Land of the Canaanites – conveniently relabelled and recursed as Sons of Ham.

          And Abram cursed his wife’s slave girl because she bore him a son? Not exactly a shining light to the unwashed heathens who went on to inherit… oil.

        That is highly unlikely as Steve4192 pointed out. Presumably you and the 11 people who upticked you have heard of the Israelites being slaves in Egypt. Slavery was almost certainly already common long before that.

        It is not enough to be anti-woke. People should think before making comments or giving up ticks to comments that make claims that are highly likely to be wrong.

    In Dark Laboratory, her groundbreaking new book…

    The groundbreaking you would like to see this pseudoscientific book do is fall into a giant sinkhole.

    In Dark Laboratory, her groundbreaking new book, Goffe argues that it was the colonization of the Americas by Christopher Columbus that set off the chain of events that has led us to where we stand today, on the precipice of global catastrophe.

    I would argue it was the aliens that put that black obelisk on the African savannah to teach the monkeys how to kill animals and eat the meat that set off the chain of events that has led us to where we stand today, but some will argue Arthur C Clark unlike Goffe was a fictional writer and therefore has no place in science.

      Douglas Adams may have put it best:

      In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad idea.

    I love to check the formal qualifications of these Climate Scientists

    “Tao Leigh Goffe is Associate Professor of literary theory and cultural history

    Dr. Goffe graduated with an undergraduate degree in English literature at Princeton University before earning a PhD at Yale University where she continued studies on racial formation and global colonial desire.

    With a focus on the environmental humanities and geology at Hunter College, City University of New York.

    She joined the department of Department of Africana Studies after over a decade of research and teaching on Black feminist engagements with Indigeneity and Asian diasporic racial formations.

    This work builds on a long-standing research interest in the intersection of climate, race, and digital technologies.

    and her PdD dissertation is hard to determine, but part is “Afro-Asian Intimacies in the Americas”

    So we have a real competitor to Kamala Harris. Looks like a DEI Climate Scientist.

      Ah so, TdeF, I see you found her groundbreaking website too: Miss Information thinks rather highly of herself and her achievements, so much so it’s bordering on

      Toxic Femininity

      or as spe!!cheque suggested, Feminincompoop.

      RIP Barry Humphries – at least he was only acting the fool and the showwoman when on stage.

        Some people are very talented and contribute in many areas. Others you cannot pin down as to expertise. I am puzzled that this shape shifting fake can make a living in any environment. Like an intellectual barnacle, on any passing ship. Contributes nothing. But well travelled.

          And slavery has been a constant in the world, still widespread in Africa. Everyone needs cheap labour, which is why the Democrats have imported tens of millions of slaves. China too is running out of people who are prepared to work filthy jobs for no pay. To blame slavery in just one area for the slight increase in temperature in the last 50 years is just insane. Simply academic opportunism.

          What is puzzling is that anyone takes any notice of such ratbags.

    Just one more for my list of things I do not understand.

    It occurs to me that many things on that list have a common theme of people pretending for profit and power.

    The problem with climate change and it’s adherents is Government cash for approved comment! Universities are prime receptacles for the drivel merchants. But once again free money features in the form of financial assistance aka student loans for useless degrees that fail to limit completion dates. The dregs of society sign-up with little real incentive or managed goals and annual targets. Greedy universities facilitate this scam for bums on seats to pay permeant Tenured and Administration roles that offer greater stability and security and access to comprehensive benefits packages, including healthcare, pension schemes, and professional development opportunities

    So why do so many clueless donkeys want to listen and believe other clueless donkeys on the topic of their delusional climate crisis?
    The facts prove we live in the safest and most prosperous world in Human history and yet these clueless donkeys make up BS and fra-dulent nonsense and most of the elites still seem to agree.
    We’ve already wasted trillions of $ on their lunacy and many voters are still happy to vote for more fairy tales and a much poorer lifestyle for the majority of people.
    The true facts can be quickly found online in a few minutes and yet so many donkeys want to believe in BS and fra-d from loonies like Greta and this silly Goffe yapper etc.
    Give it time and she may be invited to yap to the UN assembly.

      See comment #9 above. On her website she claims she’s already “had stints at the United Nations” and Wall St and the CFR – in what capacity is still a mystery: Guest Chef? DJ? Clown Juggler?

      Not sure if she’ll be getting an invite to the White House anytime soon, and besides, she’d have to turn it down because, y’know, ‘White’ and ‘Donald’.

    Hmmm.

    Dark Laboratory, a follow on to Dark Emu?

    Have some low grade wackademics found a formula for selling their inane ramblings?

    For those who read Malcolm Gladwell, he frequently talks about his Jamaican heritage. Strangely, he has never raised any of the issues this author has researched at great depth!

    Perhaps worse, he actually highlights the very different cultural outcomes that the descendants of slaves in Jamaica have to those descendants of slaves in the US. He attributes the difference to one simple policy established in Britain centuries ago:
    Families were sent to manage the plantations in Virginia, whereas only single men were sent to do the same job in Jamaica.

    The consequence? Men will be men! The illegitimate children in Jamaica were accepted as heirs of the white man, children were never made slaves, and “whiteness” of children became a mark of upward social mobility. In Virginia, illegitimate children were never recognised, were unwanted, and despised by both slaves and whites.

    But this half-Jamaican academic must have unearthed ancient scrolls that put paid these vast cultural differences!

    Alternatively, is this the incontrovertible proof that Guardianistas are dumbfeks?

    If you’re feeling a little TOO grounded in reality, have a look at this woman’s X feed. Like something out of the Onion, only without the humor.
