The real science trashers
Chicago Tribune ^ | 30 aug 2011 | Dennis Byrne

Today I am writing about religion. Specifically, about those who worship in the Church of the Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming. More specifically, about those who, as a matter of faith, believe that the science of climate change is settled.

These believers preach that mankind is steering the planet onto an irreversible and cataclysmic course unless we do something. They have engaged in a clever ploy of labeling those who disagree with their dogma as "deniers" and "anti-science." When actually they're the ones trashing science.

Let's take the latest scientific research that demonstrates, again, that the science of climate change is too complex to lend itself to simplifications and claims of "consensus."

It came last week from the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, where a high-energy particle accelerator is creating in the lab certain atmospheric conditions to study the mysteries of clouds and, by extension, climate.

CO2 makes up less than 3% of “greenhouse gases”. The water vapor that makes up 96% of “greenhouse gases” has proven impossible to model, due to the breadth and magnitude of the variables involved.

Those pretending to “know” man’s impact on that 3% and how that result interacts and impacts the whole, are lying.

The phony motivations of these alarmists would have us believe that if they can impose their rules, we’ll have some communist garden of eden.
