Post on Global Warming

 From here: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/mar/22/climate-change-deniers-have-won-global-warming


As I have said often enough, my comments seem to have a knack for disappearing.  This one is mildly snarky, but nothing remotely like most of them.  It is my content people object to.  Cognitive dissonance for the True Believers is an epically unpleasant feeling.

Your comment  that global warming is as proven as the murder of Jews and dissidents at Auschwitz cries out for psychosocial analysis.  You are not apparently unintelligent, and presumably read something or other substantive every day, so your capacity for thought does not remain fully unexercised.

Why then consider something proven, when every hypothesis–which is what a climate model is–has proven wrong?  You do understand, do you not, that guesses as to what might happen do not count as what some quaintly call “facts” in what most of think of when we refer to this process called “science”?

Do you remember Al Gore telling us in 1998 that absent drastic changes the polar ice caps would be gone by now?  I do.  Well, they seem to be growing, despite much greater increases in CO2 than was predicted.  The major change is that Al Gore’s purported humanitarianism has made him one of the richest politicians on the planet, and at that one who uses the most energy.

The “science” can be analyzed point by point, and it breaks down at every level.   This is what I did in 2008, before Climategate made it impossible for any serious person to believe the discussion was unpoliticized: http://www.moderatesunited.blogspot.com/2008/01/global-warming.html

What I have since learned is that atmospheric CO2 is ALREADY absorbing 100% of the radiation which it is capable of absorbing.  How do those pushing this agenda get around this?  They abuse physics. They claim things can happen which have never been measured in any lab.  They lie: that is how.

You need to get out more.  You need to talk to more people who do not have glazed eyes and permaworry lines on their faces.  You need to study the scientific method, and you need to step back and ask what, if anything, has been proven, other than “weather happens.”
