Don't be fooled by Palin [Another Lefty responds to her WaPo article]

The London Guardian / The Washington Post ^ | December 11, 2009 | Alan Leshner, CEO, American Ass. for the Advancement of Science

Palin is uber-impressive. And I don’t mean just because of her gams, but her editorial writing has been superb. I write a LOT, and I am impressed.

[IronJack]

long after scientists had clearly demonstrated the addictive quality and devastating health impacts of cigarette smoking

Uh huh. The same kind of "scientists" who "clearly demonstrated" (through rigged evidence and false numbers) that global warming was real?

No liberal cause has any credibility any more. The whores at East Anglia proved that.

The author is confusing correlation with causality.

We know from studying ancient Antarctic ice cores...

Why did they have to study ancient Antarctic ice cores? Why didn't they study the ice that made up The Great Lakes?

Oh, yeah. Because that ice melted 90,000 years before the SUV was a gleam in a car designer's eye.

It was advancing and retreating that created The Great Lakes and the water contained within is from thousands of feet of glacial ice that thawed.

Dumbasses.

Show me the raw data. Show me the notebooks. Show me the calculations. There can be no black boxes in real science, no “consensus” in the application of science in public policy.

Serious scientists don’t erase data. They don’t ignore series of numbers that don’t fit the hypothesis and they certainly don’t threaten editors with perishing if they publish the wrong authors.

Like the Boston information posted below, the “sources” in favor of AGW are speculation based on suppositions based on data that is more wishful thinking than empirical. “If” is not data. “will likely” is not evidence. “Discussion papers” are not proof.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

The author is confusing correlation with causality.

As long as you only do one correlation plot it can have a strong influence on the weak-minded.

These are not the data we want. Move along

climate skeptics = people who believe the sun has an effect on climate.

It is useful to know that the AAAS is strictly a membership organization--anyone can send in a check for dues and join. They have zero scientific standing, as this moron's unethical diatribe under color of authority makes clear.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

I’d rather be fooled by Palin than have been a fool and voted for Obama.

[hinckley buzzard]

Alan Leshner is a monkey-runner psychology professor who has no more expertise in climate than the kid who wants to sell you a McLatte at the drive through.

“Climate-change science is clear: the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide – derived mostly from the human activities of fossil-fuel burning and deforestation – stands at 389 parts per million (ppm).”

The notion that most of the earth’s CO2 is created my man is IDIOCY! (It’s about 3%).

[RonDog]

This idiot is a Global Warming Hoax denier.

Perfect!

[billhilly]

Palin is like that old washed up, ignorant actor who had the audacity to run for president and that makes them poop their pants with fear.

If I was one of the effete elite, I’m sure I could have summed it up in a book, or at least an op-ed in the NYT.

[highlander_UW]

You saved me a few mins in response. In homeschooling my daughter I made sure to teach her debate techniques and fallacies and this guy utilizes a whole list of them. Either he's an idiot, exceedingly dishonest or both.

[HighlyOpinionated]

Yeah, she looks all washed up and finished.

This is so Sarah Palin. Signing a Welcome Home card for a family. THAT is one reason why she is loved by Conservatives. She is gracious toward others.
