Generally, my blog and I have been dormant for the Holy Season and New Years, and now, I’m not.
To start off the New Year, I would like to proceed to my favorite subject of popular fakery The Global Warming Crisis.
From the New Stateman:
Published 19 December 2007
'The fact is that the global temperature of 2007 is statistically the same as 2006 and every year since 2001'
This piece is golden. As always read the whole thing, but the last line:
“We must explain why global warming has stopped,â€
deserves comment, because how can we explain why global warming has stopped when we don’t understand how it ‘began’ to begin with?
In the Northeast, it was one degree this morning. The chicken soup froze in the pot kept out on the back porch. If there was Global Warming the stuff should be rancid. Instead, pieces need to be chipped off for lunch.
If Global Warming was a ‘done deal,’ why are the done-dealers always annoyed when someone says, “Hey! Look at this!â€
In the TV series Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genesis (. . .yes, I have kids . . .), a character by the name of Sheen Estevez (a great name), who’s not the sharpest knife, still has the wisdom to say, “Don’t argue with the data.†Okay, it’s a cartoon, but the point is data is data. It’s no crime to just-look-at-it!
The world is round for a reason--because it is. A ship progressively ‘disappears’ over the horizon. The mast being last! That’s data, isn’t it?
Back to Global Warming.
The ‘hockey stick’ is wrong:
Commonsense dictates that if the data is flawed, it’s wrong, and should not be arduously defended.
Now, the real question isn't Has global warming stopped?. It's: When did it start?
