Iain Murray notes that, now that the Democrats control Congress, global warming isn't as urgent an issue as the hysteria mongers have have been telling us it is.

I wonder if global warming is much of an issue to those folks stranded at the Denver Airport today? Probably hasn't crossed their minds at all.

Just a thought.

James Lileks lives in Minnesota and has been commenting on his blog that he hasn't seen any snow. Maybe global warming is playing some role in that, hmmmm?

See? Two can play the anecdotes game.

That's why we try to depend on science. But, oh, I forgot, all those climate scientists are liberal commie extremists who work for Al Gore...

"That's why we try to depend on science. But, oh, I forgot, all those climate scientists are liberal commie extremists who work for Al Gore..."

Well, according to Gore and his cabal of liberal commie climatologists, killer hurricanes were supposed to wipe us all out this year. I guess its GWB's fault his Haliburton Hurricane Machine accidentally reversed and cured them or something. Another 'Inconvient Truth' or something....

Yep, real good science from the Gorebots on the link between Global Warming and Hurricanes, real good science indeed.......

If anyone tells you that any science is undisputed, unanimous, Conclusively Proven, The Truth, etc., then they are either fools or liars.

For example, we still call it the Theory of Relativity a hundred years later.

The anthropoegenic global warming folks have an agenda, and it has nothing to do with "saving the environment".

Big deal, just politics as usual. Obviously, the Democrats aren't in much of a hurry to wipe out the Detroit automakers or cause brownouts in California. They're just not going to be talking about it up front because they're good politicians.Expect the manditory auto mileage requirements and gas taxes to come in through the back door. One of the advantages to selling global warming for the folks like ALGORE is that you can fund your nationalized health care programs by raising taxes on gasline 300 percent while also helping to save the earth from that nasty old climate change.

It would be my fondest wish that the Dems would try a stunt like this. Talk about political suicide.

Add to that the Theory of Gravity which I don't believe in at all. In fact I was just floating around in my living room ;-)

How do the computer models look for predicting the behavior of this "gravity" thing, T&T?

Tnt,

What Theory of Gravity? Gravity hasn't been a theory since Adam was a Corpral.

Gravity is called a LAW for a reason. You don't need no shaky computer generated hookey hokey stick to observe or test it.

I might suggest a bit of remedial reading on the Scientific Method while you are floating around your room.

Mike, TNT is right. You need to read up on Einstein's theory of general relativity which tells us that the Law of Gravity is an approximation, i.e. it isn't a law. In a more general vein, there are no laws, everything is a theory, our best attempt to explain it all.

Mike doesn't care. He's too busy running around his backyard with a shotgun, looking for liberals.

Well Offside,

Eienstein notwithstanding, it is still referred to as the LAW of gravity so you are wrong and I am right. Approximation or not, if it functions as a law, it is a law. Sir Newton's declaration stands.

Bill, thanks for establishing for the board that only six percent of all meth addicts sucessfully beat their addiction. Good luck with your next rehab session.

Mike, I've always thought you were a class act. Merry Christmas!

Bill,

You aren't a class act. I don't mince words.

All this talk about the law/theory of gravity, which has descended into ad hominem, just proves my point - one simply does not find unanimity in science. The claims from the AGW crowd that "the science is settled" or that "scientists unanimously agree", or even that global warming itself is occurring (much less that it is caused by human activity) are extending climate science past the breaking point, into a religion.

Ed,

Any Scientist worth his salt calls it the Law of Gravity. At non-relativistic speeds, it behaves as a law. If it walks like a duck..... Reasonable people call this close enough.

Everything breaks down at a point, anyone who has heard of quantum effects knows this.

I agree Mike - heck, I call it the Law of Gravity, and I refer to Kepler's Laws and Newton's Laws all the time. Having said that, I think that the only Law in Physics that can accurately be called such is probably Murphy's.

Mike, remember that no matter how miserable your life is, Jesus loves you. We're all praying for you in this difficult time. Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas!
