My wife is in New Hartford area right now. She says it’s snowing in New England in December. Imagine that? The funny thing about the global warming crowd is that it has become the new model to prove that the use of statistics in an unscientific manner can prove whatever you want. We are classmates of a scientist who was employed by an arm of congress to review some climate report for them. He spent a year plus trying to support the conclusions based on the data. In the end he could only preface the report’s validity with phrases like “might, and could possibly”. They (congress panel leaders) tried to have him arrested. It seems he could not take a conclusion and support it with facts.
40% of the country can be categorized as having a liberal political opinion about most government policies.
Therefore, 30% of the nation will believe any statistic that a liberal politician or pundit quotes.
