As I sit here in central Florida, less than 2 weeks from March, trying to keep warm by the fire, looking forward to a morning in the 30's, airports snowed in all across Texas, Nevada and Oklahoma, I keep hearing about the Global Warming Fraud (GWF). A few nights ago I watched ABC's Charlie Gibson solemnly report on this fraud, uhhhhhh, STORY...and the funny thing is, he was standing outdoors, bundled up in a heavy winter coat, sweater vest, AND SCARF...as he lectured the nation on the seriousness of the GLOBAL WARMING that is confronting us.
How he did it w/a straight face, I'll never know.
Very few people ever point out that the GWF industry is based on a total perversion of "the scientific method..." You know, the concept that has allowed us to create these amazing machines we're comunicating on right now, heart transplants, place men on the moon and satellites in orbit,and an endless cornucopia of scientific creations.
Science is supposed to proceed from data, right? So let's just review the basic data of the climate on this earth:
1--Planet is ~4 billion years old
2--Life has existed ~ 1 billion years.
3--Land-dwelling life has existed here ~400 million years.
4--Mammals have existed for ~200 million years
5--Extremely large vertebrate land animals existed continuously for ~200 million years (both dinosaurs and mammals). During this entire period, the earth was MUCH warmer than it is today, and the warmer areas had a greater diversity and density of life forms.
6--Human-type creatures have existed for ~2 million years.
7--Recognizable social humans have existed for ~50,000 years.
8--Human history has been tracked for ~8,000 years
9--Human writing has existed for ~6,000 years
10--Human recorded scientific observation of the globe has existed for ~100 years.
Folks, given this data, here is the key question: when these idiots claim the world is getting "warmer," I ask: WARMER THAN WHEN?
OUR ENTIRE DATABASE IS ABOUT 1/20,000TH OF ONE-PERCENT OF THE PERIOD OF LARGE LAND-DWELLING LIFE ON THIS PLANET (one hundred years out of 200 million).
HOW CAN ANYONE PLAUSIBLY OFFER ANY "SCIENTIFIC OPINION" GIVEN THE ALMOST COMPLETE LACK OF DATA?
I imagine these frauds, uhhhhh, "scientists" would feel justified in watching a 90-year-old man taking a 2-second sip of a beer with a pizza, and thereby predicting that the man would die of acute alcohol poisoning in about 24 hours, SINCE THAT SIP OBVIOUSLY WOULD CONTINUE WITHOUT LETUP UNTIL THE ALCOHOL KILLED THE OLD CODGER.
RIGHT??!!
Of, course, I'm a little confused, because when I was in school these same brilliant scientists told us that the world was getting much COLDER. That New England was going to be covered by glaciers AGAIN.
We know that a single volcanic eruption can have a substantial effect on the earth's weather, right? So tell me: how many volcanoes are going to erupt next year? The year after that?
Exactly.
