Unfortunately the oracles of “manmade global warming” are flooding publications (scientific and non-scientific) with articles purporting to be based on fact, but which are instead results of computer modeling based on hidden assumptions and questionable logic. The gullible journalistic world (NYT, WaPo, NBC, CBS, ABC et. al.) swallows this bilge, promotes it to the level of a religion and uses it to propagandize our children and the people whose intellectual activity consists of pondering who the next American Idol will be. Someone has to be a skeptic.
You’re right. I have yet to find a climate model study using the number one greenhouse gas.
I agree. The burden of proof is on those who claim that there is such a thing as significant anthropogenic global warming. To date, they have not been able to do so. My point is that the word heretic is probably not the propoer use of the word when describing a scientific process. However, I understand why it is being used because environmentalism has become akin to a religious cult.
