Frozen water fell from the sky today, therefore thousands of scientists the world over are liars. Just go with it.
That's the narrative coming from Fox News in their coverage of the heavy snow blanketing the eastern coast of the United States this winter.
Posted by Elmer Gantry]]> Tue, 23 Feb 2010 08:29:16 -0600 Nashville Scene No it's a case of the true believers becomong increasinging alarmist in attemptint to get people to accept something as fact that none of them can actually prove as fact.
You want to prove there is a causative correlation between man's activites and the earth's temperature?
Show me a perfectly linear one for one correlation between variations in man-made so-called "greenhouse gassses" and variations in global temperature that tracks consistently over every single second of the entire timespan of human existence on the planet.
That is the only thing that would be unequivocally definitive enough to prove it.
And you either prove something with absolute definitivenes or you've proven absolutely nothing.

You aren't any authority on what the science is nor are you any authority on who is the authority on it.
"I could give you numerous links that actual scientists are convinced we've got a problem"
Uh huh - and there are other actual scientists who say we don't.
You aren't the least bit capable of proving that those who say we do know any more about it than those who say we don't.

It's an oft-repeated statistic that the glaciers at Montana's Glacier National Park will disappear by the year 2030.
But Daniel Fagre, a U.S. Geological Survey ecologist who works at Glacier, says the park's namesakes will be gone about ten years ahead of schedule, endangering the region's plants and animals.
The 2030 date, he said, was based on a 2003 USGS study, along with 1992 temperature predictions by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
"Temperature rise in our area was twice as great as what we put into the [1992] model," Fagre said. "What we've been saying now is 2020."
The 2020 estimate is based on aerial surveys and photography Fagre and his team have been conducting at Glacier since the early 1980s.
Posted by Elmer Gantry]]> Sat, 20 Feb 2010 07:13:30 -0600 Nashville Scene The U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change goofs in predicting total meltdown by 2035. But the roof of the world is still losing its icy coat.
Posted by Elmer Gantry]]> Sat, 20 Feb 2010 07:10:09 -0600 Nashville Scene No the point is that you and the rest of the liberals who never complained one iota about the GW boosters claiming anything and everything is "proof" of global warming and are now squawking about some people on the other side using the same tactic are just a big bunch of hypocrites.
"What matters is that there is near consent in the scientific community that the ice-caps are warming and this is, in large part, man-made."
You aren't the least bit capable of proving a single word of that.
What REALLY matters it that the whole thing is starting to unravel - despite the desperate attempts of the MSM in this country to ignore all the revelations about climategate and the shennanigans perpetrated by the IPCC - the entity that GW true believers throw up as the "ultimate authority" (which they never were).
So you can keep chanting the mantra of the "science being settled" all you want.
Fewer and fewer people are buying it anymore.
