I have confidence in the substantial evidence of climate change over the vast ages of the Earth - many of which happened before humans were here - or before we engaged in widespread industrial activity.
What I do NOT have confidence in is the self serving climate models that predict catastrophic change based upon human activity.
Earlier in my own lifetime they were predicting Catastrophic Climate Change in the form of global cooling - and mankind, specifically capitalism - was to blame.
Now they are predicting Catastrophic Climate Change in the form of global warming - and mankind, specifically capitalism - is still to blame.
I am a scientist. I know that if e-mails showed I was using a “trick” to “hide the decline” I would be out on my ear, and rightly so, and my work widely discredited in the scientific community.
Somehow climate “scientists” are not held to the same high standards.
They should be.
Anthropogenic Climate Change is modern day Lysenkoism.
Of course, any Soviet scientist who criticized Lysenko's theories of Marxist Agriculture got sent to the Gulags by Stalin.
:: This article shamelessly conflates climate change with Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Change. ::
A correction is on order. See my tag-line.
It is arguable that the most damaging effect of the Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming crowd is the damage they have done and are doing to the reputation and public view of Science.
