Oi. Should I take it as a compliment that some of my posts disappear, even though they have no profanity and stay on topic? I don’t know. Be that as it may, I have learned to always copy my text before hitting post, so that I can do what I am doing right here. If I took the time to write it, it may as well wind up in cyberspace somewhere.
This is my response to this article/hit piece/journalistic low road: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2011/08/23/rejecting_man-made_global_warming_disqualifies_perry-comments.html
I trust people who know what they know, and know what they don’t know. I don’t trust people like you who don’t know what they don’t know, and infer from that they are really, really smart.
I HAVE studied the data and the arguments used to support the Anthropogenic Global Warming conjecture, and have found it not just wanting, but farcical to any serious mind capable of the most elementary pattern recognition.
Here is a summary I wrote 3 years or so ago: https://moderatesunitedblog.com//2008/01/global-warming.html
My case has only strengthened since then. As an example, in this piece I talk about the criticisms of the Mann Hockey Stick hypothesis, noting that serious statisticians found serious flaws in it, and noting that the data appears to have been cherry picked to generate a specific result, one which conflicted with all the analysis that preceded it, and which was Exhibit A for Algore and his Payattentiontome Parade.
Well, we now have email correspondance from the person, Phil Jones, who had responsibility for the primary data set, saying he would destroy the data rather than give it to the people who had been asking for it. The criticism was plainly valid. All serious “researchers” have to remove the Hockey Stick from their arsenal.
I think you are misguided in thinking that the bulk of Americans still buy into this hooey. Educated elitists like you, who think things are true because they happen in classrooms somewhere, are out of touch with the common sense of people who well understand that money corrupts, and that there is a LOT of money in supporting the AGW conjecture.
