“Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.” — Michael Crichton
Thanks for adding that.

Glad to.
How do liberal scams like global warming gain a foothold?

Most scientists in this country are Democrats. That’s a problem.

Dear Michael,
Many thanks for your kind words of support, they mean a lot to me and I am glad that I can contribute in some small way to a larger understanding of the issues.
The greater tragedy is not a failed theory, science is littered with such dismal failures and it is how science progresses, treading on the broken remains of disproven theories. This one is different, the theory was exploited by the greedy the power hungry the carpet baggers the crooks and they used the ignorance and gullibility of useful idiots to do it, this cannot and must not be allowed to stand for all our sakes.
We need justice and we need to learn the lessons, not some meaningless platitudes spewed up by some politicians but real and hard lessons. BTW my humble posts belong to any who cares to read them as soon as I hit the send button, you may use and improve them as you see fit.
Yours

Anthony, the article is an excellent compilation of evidence which, no doubt, will quickly spread around the blogosphere and leak, ultimately, into the lazy reaches of the MSM where most journalists only interview their PCs. Thank you.
I habitually have a quick daily perusal of the MSM on line that isn’t hidden behind a paywall and have observed over the last couple of weeks that not only is any news from the Cooncan conference hard to find, but the number of silly Chicken Little-themed articles appears to have considerably diminished. Even Louise Gray of the Telegraph has reversed her usual ‘ CO2 disaster’ theme and published a story in today’s Telegraph about the UN admitting some glaciers are growing. Wow!
In the Guardian, which has been reliably the warmist flagship organ to date, the sceptics now tend to outnumber the warmistas considerably in CiF blog posts and a number of the usual ardently-ranting attack-warmistas on those threads are absent. I also observe that the Guardian moderators are tending to close strings off quickly when the sceptic comments wildly outnumber and outfact the warmist contributions.
Perhaps they have gone on holiday, or are sitting in their freezing and snowbound electric cars or lying beside their bicycles (the Guardian is very big on bicycles and I understand most ardent warmists won’t drive anything that produces CO2 and wave eco-themed placards at the ones equipped with 4WD) somewhere near Edinborough, Glasgow or York, waiting for a medic in a nice warm Armed Forces Landrover to rescue them.
Or maybe truth is dawning upon them and they are metaphorically creeping away red-faced, silent and embarrassed, thanking their lucky stars for the gift of anonymity allowed by blog editors. While a few of the faithful turn up every day to give witness, still chanting their mantras of ‘overwhelming numbers of scientists’ and ‘peer reviewed papers’ and spitting their customary vile language when reason and their woefully inadequate lexicons fail them,

Posted a critical comment here not expecting it to be accepted – to my surprise when I checked back later it was, along with a slew of far more acerbic remarks. The ABC has been a hot bed of alarmist fundimentalists. Looks like the tide is turning!!

Frosty, get a grip.
Who are the deniers here? Do you understand the scientific method?
The only deniers here are Michael Mann et al (and their fellow deniers of the MWP) along with their little mate Rajendra Pachauri. Mind you, I’m not against the incompetent railway engineer chuffing along with the IPCC, since his very presence in that fraudulent body will continue to derail the alarmists’ credibility faster than the speed of a Chinese maglev.
This is where they’ve got to on Cancun:
"Climate Change Experts' Call for End to Developed World Economic Growth for 'The Next 20 Years'"
End economic growth! For the next 20 years?
Not even Dan Cass or the ACF could be this silly.
And these Einsteins think this is the way to raise Australia’s announced allocation of $599 million for the provision of fast-start financing to the panhandlers? Or that this is the way the Cancuntites propose to raise their $100 billion a year by 2020 from Western countries for an unnamed, new, UN controlled fund; or 1.5% pa of GDP, whichever is the greater.
Do you get the logic? They propose shrinking the Western economies that they want to clip, as a way of providing funds for the panhandlers.
Economic illiterates.
Even Marx wasn’t that stupid.

Devastating Too many smart people listed in just the first few comments
The ship of criminals continues to slowly list further to the side. Hopefully it will soon sink.
Love Michael Crichton, only where’s “The Andromeda Strain” when you need real heroics to save the planet?
Al Gore must be back in town. It’s a balmy 24 and Nashville’s coldest Dec. start since 1942. I understand it will be a blistering 7 tomorrow night.
