Smoking Guns

Since November 2009, there have been a lot of revelations about the either poorly-done or fraudulent science used to support the "narrative" of man-made global warming (AGW).

Whether intentional or not, AGW science has been corrupted and politicized to promote an agenda. Reasonable people can argue over why that has occurred. What they can't argue with is the fact that the skeptics are bringing up real, undeniable issues and problems with the science and the projections of the scientists.

One real problem is "information overload". Another problem is the lack of reporting in American "Establishment Media" about these problems. (Media in the UK have done an excellent job.)

The lack of reporting is easy to see.

The "information overload" boils down to this: there are so many problems and issues with the theory... and so many things occurring that contradict it... that it's really difficult to keep track!

Here's a pretty handy reference to a list of "Smoking Guns" the skeptics have uncovered. More are sure to come.

Climategate's Smoking Guns

If this flawed and completely UNPROVEN theory wasn't such a threat to human flourishing all over the world, no biggie. But it is a threat, and I'm not into ignoring threats brandished by ideological zealots using that threat to bash me for my rationality. I'm supposed to just "go along" with Western Civilization undermining itself because we might be warming the planet?

Right. I'll get back with you on that one.

And these are often the same people who SAY they believe in evolution... I guess man can't adapt to a warmer planet. Hmmm... I'm just too logical to bob my head knowingly at this inanity.

My "feelings" aren't what control me. I'm not easily frightened by demagogues who live their own lives one way, then tell the rest of us how to live. (Al Gore, Thomas Friedman, seemingly every Hollywood actor/actress).

Do you like other people telling you how you have to live? Especially when those who tell us how to live DON'T live that way themselves. What??! We're supposed to go along with that?

Are we also supposed to Baaa-Baaa like the sheep they must think we are?

Many politicians seem to need to keep us in a constant state of alarm. It sets them up as our "Protectors"; as the only force standing between us and catastrophe. Very self-serving.

I guess I'm supposed to feel confident about the ability of lawyers in DC to "protect" me from life? They seem more of a threat than a savior. Their track record has borne that perception out...

Prove man-made global warming, then we'll talk. In the meantime...

I'm too much of an optimist to let you alarmists scare the crap out of me.
