Scientists can accurately predict eclipses ... therefore they can accurately predict global warming!

For years now, atmospheric scientists have been handing us a set of predictions about the likely consequences of our emissions of industrial gases. These forecasts are critically important, because this group of experts sees grave risks to our civilization. And yet, when it comes to reacting to the warnings of climate science, we have done little.
If the science were brand new, that might make sense, but climate scientists have been making predictions since the end of the 19th century. This is the acid test of any scientific theory: Does it make predictions that ultimately come true?
In the early 20th century, Albert Einstein’s new and controversial theory of relativity predicted that gravity would cause light to bend. It sounded crazy, but a solar eclipse in 1919 provided the opportunity to test it as starlight passed near the blotted-out sun. Einstein’s theory was proved, turning him into a celebrity overnight.
When medicine delivered a wave of vaccines in the 20th century, doctors predicted that widespread use would cause childhood deaths from illnesses like whooping cough and diphtheria to fall. The public trusted the doctors, and those deaths plummeted.
So what predictions has climate science made, and have they come true?

Yep, apples and oranges.
They can predict with some certainty when the Milky Way will collide with Andromeda. 4 billion years. Climate change in 100 years? Not so much.
Scientists can aaccurately predict eclipses decades in advance, but all of their global warming predictions turn out to be wrong, so - yes - this is a clue as to whether we should trust climate science.
“This is the acid test of any scientific theory: Does it make predictions that ultimately come true?”
Well climate “science” has already failed on that score since the predicted temperature increases in the last 20 years have not happened.
Science uses the scientific method.
Climate “science” does not use the scientific method.
Any questions?

Weather.gov doom and gloom on Great Lakes water levels. Latest fail is a rise in water levels of + 4 feet.
Wow and to say this with such bravado. He likely doesn’t know an acid from a base, but says, acid test like he’s cool.
He may even be too moronic to be called a useful tool.
The planet has "warmed" since major league baseball was integrated. For the sake of mankind, action must be taken immediately! Mebbe it wouldn't be too big a risk to wait until after the World Series (latin players pose a real, but smaller risk - 97% of morons agree).
If governments around the world gave grants to scientists to claim that eclipses were impossible you can be sure that it would be “settled science” eclipses do not exist.
Anyone who claimed otherwise would be declared a kook and an extremist.
For the most part.... no
If I were to face slap myself now I would probably kill myself.
That the temperature rose by 1 degree is not a validation of his hypothesis that emissions would cause warming. There could be any number of causes. He just happened to guess the outcome.
Very scientific.
Some things are really easy to predict when all the pertinent factors are known and the process follows a known and relatively unvarying pattern. Climate studies are nothing like that. Scientists are still trying to gain an understanding of the underlying processes which are probably several magnitudes more complicated than the rotation of bodies in space. This writer is a simpleton.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Too many variables in the equations. Climate science does not exist. It’s political “science”. IOW junk.

The NY Slimes proving yet again that they haven’t a clue what science is.

I know a scientific formula that puts the work of all of the world’s scientists to shame (but I won’t be able to prove it for awhile):
“Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.”—Revelation 20:15
Now THAT’S scientific and a formula that will be proven 100% accurate (unlike their imperfect decrees).
(PS...be found written in that Book!)
