To not be at least mildly skeptical in the face of that which cries out for further answers, is to have a faith based belief system.
The shaky fundamental tenets of AGW, the unreliable modelling, the actual evidence contradicting the models, the natural warming and cooling cycles of the planet left unexplained, the incestuous relationship between the UN, key AGW scientists, and "science reporters" all with highly politicized motives, and not the least of which, the emails themselves, cry out for skepticism, if not a repudiation of AGW.
That there are so many who lack even a modicum skepticism at this point, only reifies the concerns that AGW is a politicized and dogmatic belief system that has precious little to do with the objective search for the truth via a dispassionate scientific method.

ReplyDeleteOddly enough, much the same criticisms are levelled against the dubious pseudo-science offered as a challenge to climate change, if one substitutes cash-rich "major petrochemical corporations" for the cash-strapped UN. The difference is, no climate change scientist today denies that the planet has natural warming and cooling cycles, and no anti-climate change scientist has offered an actual scientific refutation of the plain fact that increased CO2 and methane in the atmosphere clearly interacts with sunlight.
Scientists aren't obliged to disprove a theory. Scientists asserting its truth must prove it.
ReplyDeleteThey cannot.
In fact, in the only "experiment" possible - testing observable facts against the theory/models - we know that the model is wrong. Ten or so years ago we were supposed to be experiencing skyrocketing warming due to increased CO2 levels by now.
Temps have not followed.
Further,
ReplyDeletethere are umpteen credible scientists in various fields that have equally credible, if not moreso, theories pertaining to why the planet is warming.
Theories which account for historical warming pre-industrialization,
which we know with certainty AGW cannot explain.
You see, there used to be miles of thick ice over much of the world. It takes a bit of warming to melt it, no?
"umpteen credible scientists in various fields..."
ReplyDeleteThere are thousands of climate scientists. At this point all of them, as I have stated, have theories which account for pre-industrial global warming and cooling.
