Don't these upstarts realize it's not the nature of the evidence but the seriousness of the charge?

You said it very well. When people want to find a particular result within random data, they will tend to do so.

I know a two things for certain: The Sun rises in the east and everything the left says is a lie.

Thanks for posting this. Few things brighten my day more than running across something sure to frost the half-baked globull warmers.

Suddenly the hockey stick, the poster-child of the global warming community, turns out to be an artifact of poor mathematics

That is being charitable. Occam's Razor requires the other obvious explanation to be true: the procedure was tailored to get the desired results. This would require great mathematics to hide the means so well for so long. Fraud, pure and simple.

For many years now, I have been trying to find a reasonable explanation for why "environmentalists" exist. Other than the simple pleasure of controlling other people's lives. I have yet to find one.
Saving the world is not an option. Delusion and ignorance on such a scale is simply too unreal to accept.

The global warming theroy is not a result of science, but a result of POLITICAL SCIENCE.

But apparently thats not enough evidence that the Earth has its own global cycle.

Nonsense!!! The sporty utility vehicle was, fortunately, there 20,000 years ago to pull us out of the ice-age. But, today we simply need to get rid of them because there over doing the warming effect now. We need to start building something today that will have the Left screaming of global cooling in the far future.

Love your Personal Philosophy, which appears to be less of a philosophy and more of factual reality, and applies whether data are or is. Global warming in the past was overcome in the single instant of the explosion of Krakatoa and other past vocanic activity which caused the loss of or severely limited the next growing season in much of the fertile regions of earth. People who postulate and pontificate about a global warming, have an agenda that does not include the success and well being of the inhabitants of the planet, IMHO.

This is a universal practice that runs throughout ALL scientific endeavor, when there are more unknowns than knowns, the human tendency to build myth as an explanation.

In all fairness, that is not true of real science. A real scientist goes where the data takes him, no matter how silly the result. A real scientist knows when the results are silly and seeks the reason why and iterates, and tries again, or seeks alternative approaches to a solution.

Junk science, on the other hand, science with an agenda, is right up there with political chicanery, and worse than useless.

That graph image is false. Why?

Always look for the spike in temperatures which occurred during the 1930s. If that spike is not shown, then something is wrong with the presentation.

As a fellow chemist, I must point out that "the data ARE random" is the correct usage.

Only if you're a limey.

Read Gross & Levitt's 'Higher Superstition' or 'Fight From Science and Reason' or Noretta Koertge's...

Might that be "Flight from Science and Reason"?
