Climatologists to physicists: your planet needs you

Saw this rather insightful comment on a freeper's home page...

"The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present – and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite. "

Dwight D Eisenhower - and you're right - that part's never quoted.

“In fact, essential physical aspects of climate change are poorly understood.”

Exactly why all the hype about “climate change” is just that, hype.

We do not even know what we do not know.

But we do know that there are many important things that we do not know.

Cannot do climate models and predictions without knowing all of the important things and how they interact.

The Chilling Stars - I think that is the explanation that bothers warmers the most.

If they thought about it they might realize that a melting Arctic Ocean would cause another glacial advance.

My favorite sentence in this farcical analysis:

“Although climate scientists agree on the basics — for example, climate change is primarily the result of human activity — large uncertainties persist in ‘climate sensitivity’, the increase in average global temperature caused by a given rise in the concentration of carbon dioxide.”

Translation: “We don’t really know how it’s happening - but we’re absolutely sure who’s responsible (and it’s *you*).

The warmunists need some patsies.

They’re just wearing pasties??

Climatology is a science?? Kinda like Lesbian Dance Theory is a sport...

Great line... tagable.

More water for the water planet. Problem is the freezing point stays relatively constant. At least in the physical world. In lala Progresso land, nothing stays constant. So warmer air will always hold more water until someone tells them there is a drought in California.

That is because the astrophysicists and the geologists they are working with have actually backed up the theory with measurable evidence and created experiments to test key parts of the theory (cosmic ray cloud seeding) that have worked. Warmers hate real science, not enough doom and gloom to take control of an industrial base if it comes down to the Earth being protected by the Sun from space radiation coming from the Milky Way. Heck, how can you regulate cow farts and SUVs if it is a cosmic problem and not man made?
