heretics, how tiresome

Jun 19, 2007 10:09

How dare these insolent doubters raise questions about anthropogenic global warming? Don't they know that's heresy akin to denying Darwinian evolution? Brothers and sisters, let us unite and smite them with science!

And if that fails to support our agenda ideas, we can always use the fear-mongering media, bad data collection methods, bandwagon arguments, and horribly flawed computer simulations to gain converts consensus.

Father of scientific climatology considers global warming a bunch of hooey.
There is no question the earth has been warming. It is coming out of the "Little Ice Age," he said in an interview this week. "However, there is no credible evidence that it is due to mankind and carbon dioxide. We've been coming out of a Little Ice Age for 300 years. We have not been making very much carbon dioxide for 300 years. It's been warming up for a long time," Bryson said.

Maybe that's not the best place for a thermometer...
To assure accuracy, stations (essentially older thermometers in little four-legged wooden sheds or digital thermometers mounted on poles) should be 100 feet from buildings, not placed on hot concrete, etc. But as photos on Watts' site show, the station in Forest Grove, Ore., stands 10 feet from an air-conditioning exhaust vent. In Roseburg, Ore., it's on a rooftop near an AC unit. In Tahoe, Calif., it's next to a drum where trash is burned.

And see how a well-executed attack can cause the speaker of even the most minor heresies to regret his words!

NASA's Griffin Backs Down on Global Warming
In a closed-door meeting Monday at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., Griffin said that "Unfortunately, this is an issue which has become far more political than technical, and it would have been well for me to have stayed out of it."

You see? All we need to do is treat anyone that raises any doubt with the derision of a holocaust-denier and we will win the world over!

global warming, science, politics
