Global Warming is a Religion (It's politics, not science; feeeeelings, not facts...)

Global warming is the 'futuristic' version of unobservable science while evolution is the 'historic' version of unobservable science.

Since scientists and the public have grown accustomed to accepting the unobservable 'historic' science of evolution; is it a simple matter to then accept the unobservable 'futuristic' science of global warming.

The Kyoto accords can easily be seen as nothing less than an attempt to hamstring the world's dominant capitalist economies.

There's probably some good 'taglines' in that last link.

Rising sea levels? The sea levels have been rising since the last ice age ended. That was 12,000 years ago. Estimates are that in that time the sea level has risen by over 300 feet. The rise in our sea levels has been going on long before man started creating anything but natural CO2 emissions.

Thanks for the ping.

It starts with a quote that pretty much buttresses and sums up the points that I made in the previous hour. It's by G.K. Chesterton. “A man who ceases to believe in God does not believe in nothing; he believes in anything.”

Thanks to Rush for sharing a great quote!

"...I'm not sure he is a Christian."

Whaaa?


"...but even the demons believe in God."

Ok. Rush is a Christian. He doesn't believe in God for nefarious reasons, like a demon would. This could rank as the strangest post I've ever seen over your name, Dave. I've been a Rush fan since his T.V. days, and I can pretty well put to rest any fears of demonhood you may have.

Climate change sceptics bet $10,000 on cooler world

The Russian solar physicists Galina Mashnich and Vladimir Bashkirtsev have agreed the wager with a British climate expert, James Annan.

The pair, based in Irkutsk, at the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics, believe that global temperatures are driven more by changes in the sun's activity than by the emission of greenhouse gases. They say the Earth warms and cools in response to changes in the number and size of sunspots. Most mainstream scientists dismiss the idea, but as the sun is expected to enter a less active phase over the next few decades the Russian duo are confident they will see a drop in global temperatures.

"Most mainstream scientists" don't dismiss the idea, particularly when one adds up the frauds and phonies claiming to be scientists, who have saddled on to Human Induced Climate Change/Global Warming/Greenhouse Effect, the New Lysenkoism.

So if global warming and its supporters are not about science, then you have to ask, about what are they?

Maybe the following bit of double-talk will clear things up < /snort >

"It is certainly true that "science" itself strives for objective empirical information to test theory and models. But at the same time "science for policy" must be recognized as a different enterprise than "science" itself, since science for policy involves being responsive to policymakers' needs for expert judgment at a particular time, given the information currently available, even if those judgments involve a considerable degree of subjectivity."

All this caused by plant food (CO2).

I can’t wait for the teetotalers to go after plant hydration.
