“Unfortunately I seem to experience that scientists say: ‘We have a theory’ – then that crosses the road to the politicians who say: ‘We know’.

Perfectly put. Along with the politicians are most people who really don't grasp the essence of science. It is not absolute and to say we know is just plain ignorant.

Thor, eh? Reminds me of the punchline of a joke I heard as a kid: "You're Thor? I'm tho thore I can hardly pith!"

"You can't fake spring coming earlier, or trees growing higher up on mountains, or glaciers retreating for kilometres up valleys, or shrinking ice cover in the Arctic, or birds changing their migration times, or permafrost melting in Alaska, or the tropics expanding, or ice shelves on the Antarctic peninsula breaking up, or peak river flow occurring earlier in summer because of earlier snowmelt, or sea level rising faster and faster, or any of the thousands of similar examples."

Until you have more than the usual suspects you don't have anything. ClimateGate is a crock.

An interesting article by someone who has actually read ALL the emails:

"The enormous volume of emails give a picture of thoroughly decent scientists increasingly finding themselves in a nightmare. One refers to the atmosphere moving to something akin to that created by Joseph R. McCarthy. Their professional reputations are suddenly at risk.. They write each other in disbelief, protesting “I have never been political. I am an honest scientist.” They are threatened, and "sting" operation FOI requests are set up to ensnare them and keep them from doing their work."

Hah, proof positive that I am right:

"the leaked e-mails involved in Climategate expose the unscientific behavior of leading climate scientists who deliberately destroyed records to block information requests, manipulated data to 'hide the decline' in global temperatures, and conspired to silence the critics of man-made global warming."

If Sarah Dumbfuck Palin says it, you know it's wrong.

so that's your new argument gary?

makes about as much sense as your old one so i won't delete that comment even though i find it offensive.

gary said...

Oh, so sorry to offend you. That's funny after all the insulting comments on your part.

Here's kind of an IQ test for you. Consider your answer carefully as it will reveal whether you are too stupid for words, or not.

Do you think Sarah Palin is qualified to be President. Yes or No.
