This article hits a home run where it shows the chilling effect of political correctness on climate research.

The solar hypotheses fits the observed facts better than the anthropogenic greenhouse gases hypotheses does.

But facts matter little when you rely on computer models that are "tweaked" to achieve your preconceived results, such as those used to "confirm" global warming are.

The solar hypotheses fits really well on Mars! No one can possibly think that the two solar powered rovers could be causing Mars to heat up as it is.

Thanks for posting. It seems I heard a senator emphatically say recently that the science on this issue was settle, that our "carbon" print was responsible for global warming.

But, as Rush points out, how can you say there is a consensus on this issue when at least 10% of the scientist disagree, and I say: not to mention another suspected considerable number who are afraid to disagree!

Twenty years ago, climate research became politicised in favour of one particular hypothesis, which redefined the subject as the study of the effect of greenhouse gases. As a result, the rebellious spirits essential for innovative and trustworthy science are greeted with impediments to their research careers. And while the media usually find mavericks at least entertaining, in this case they often imagine that anyone who doubts the hypothesis of man-made global warming must be in the pay of the oil companies. As a result, some key discoveries in climate research go almost unreported.

I've got a computer model that shows conclusively that the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders will come to my place next Saturday for a weekend of cheap meaningless sex. So I don't expect to be posting much next weekend.
The computer model says so...so it must be true

Science left the dance when Politics entered.

One problem is the Democrats do not know how to use paper ballots, so how can they use a computer ballot?

...we are wrong on climate change

Who wrote the headline and who is he including in "we?"

Sounds like a Frat boy's Masters Thesis.

Then there is the issue of the UN needing to replace the revenue stream from the Oil-For-Food deal. The beauty of this scheme is that:

1) It will penalize the despised developed nations, unless they are the Correct Ones, like the PRC.

2) They can create "Climate Change Kiddie Education Summer Camps" so their workers can continue shopping for sex toys.

Excellent Post. Glat to see there are still a few research scientists left to counter the concensus scientists.

Al Gore, take this report and put it in your potato hole.

[o_zarkman44]

excellent point!

Har! Invisible "Cosmyk Rayes"?! Methinks he speaks of magyk...he's a witch! Burn him at the stake!

...(with an approved, low-emission, environmentally-friendly fuel, of course).

Does anyone besides me see the power of stupid people (MSM) in large groups?

I don't know how any logical-thinking human being can ascribe to "global warming." When I was a kid, we got "The Weekly Reader" in school, and I remember an entire issue was devoted to the IGY ~ International Geophysical Year. I remember also, very clearly, that one of the results of their findings was that winters would be longer and colder for the next 50 years, and summers would be shorter and cooler.

In researching this, I find no mention of that. I suspect I'll have to check and see if The Weekly Reader still has that issue in its archives.
